Tried out name recall using focus – connect-rehearse at an art auction. In each case I focussed on a specific facial characteristic, I immediately used their name back to them and connected them to some aspect of their art. I remembered their names and was able to use them as I said “Goodbye” at the end of the evening. Their reaction to hearing their name was definitely positive (not just for me!).

It’s lovely to be able to call people by name too. (And it pleases me to remember where I read or heard something.) Such small joys but they all add up. THANK YOU.

I enjoyed the reaction I received and have continued to please myself when meeting new people. I am definitely more aware that I must concentrate to achieve this result. It’s a good feeling! Knowing that I, myself, have the ability to make this happen is very empowering.
