Thoughts on remembering names

In my career I’ve done a LOT of networking. In fact, I started a group that has become one of the largest business networking groups in Michigan: Motor City Connect. This experience has led me to a career in speaking. As such I get to meet a lot of people.

It’s great. I love it. I’m always happy to meet new folks and find out how I can be of assistance. One of the things I’ve noticed along the way is just how much we all enjoy similar things. For example, most of us have the same favorite topic: ourselves and the same favorite sound: our name.

We also seem to have the same challenge: Remembering people’s names. I hear it all the time. “I have trouble remembering people’s names”.  Or, “What’s a good tip to remember people’s names?”

Here’s the truth: you can’t remember something you never knew.

What I mean specifically is that most of us are so busy thinking about what we’re going to say to make a “great first impression” that we aren’t fully focused on the person we’re meeting.

Picture it, you’re being introduced to someone new. Your first thought is “how am I going to get this person to like me?” or “I have to get my point across”.  As those thoughts are spinning through your head, the person who is introducing you says their name and then says your name. The sound of your name snaps you back into the moment, but just a second too late.

You’re now faced with a dilemma…do you ask them to repeat their name or do you just carry on? (Pro-tip always ask them to repeat it). Most people are too embarrassed to ask. Believe me it’s a lot worse not to ask.

I have a client who can make sure your name is remembered every time. Want to know how? Get yourself a snazzy new name badge. It works like a charm and can extend your brand. Take a look at some of the work Stadium Trophy does with full color, metal and  Engraved Name Badges. Go to the site as there are more examples than this…

Here’s another good idea for remembering names. Go check out my friend Michael Angelo Caruso’s blogpost on the topic.

The poem I read at my father’s funeral service

I had been asked a few times to share this. What better way then to post it here I suppose. I read this pretty much as it’s written. Needless to say some of the points in here were more specific to the audience at the service than to many of you. People laughed. People cried. Most importantly, people were reminded of reasons to appreciate the wonderful man my father was. I love you dad!!!

A life in the life of Gary Bean

 

You were born into tough times in 1937

And 75 years later you arrive at the pearly gates of heaven

 

From my understanding your dad left you when you were only six

Raised with your baby sister by a single mom, you had to grow up quick.

 

I heard you played pond hockey and to cover your shins you used telephone books

Boy oh boy I bet you get more than your share of funny looks

 

I know that baseball was your other sport and you were a stud on the mound

You won the first game in Cody High School history. That’s a record they can never take down

 

There is so much proof that you’ve always had an eye for design

Be it Hudson’s windows, Customer’s offices or the amazing art you always did find

 

You built a strong reputation as someone who got things done

Pretty impressive for a guy who always knew how to have a lot of fun

 

You played tennis, hockey, softball, golf and were always ready to drive the boat

You would have been a better golfer if they made balls that could actually float

 

You were married once, then again and one more time just to do it right

I love all of your wives and I think this last one is out of sight.

 

Your first two children had names that rhymed with Gary

I still think you could have named the other two Mary and Perry

 

Cary, Terry, Daryl and Ryan all learned so much from you

We will always sense your pride in whatever we do

 

It doesn’t just stop with children you know

The grandchildren are here and they are on the grow

 

You’ve got cousins, colleagues and way more than one friend

They all came to celebrate you and not to reflect on your end

 

You were truly a wise-man with no shortage of wit

Like my bumper sticker said, you were born to bullshit

 

We all love you GBEAN to move on we shall endeavor

I wish you peace and comfort for now and forever

My family had requested that people interested in showing their support and love of Gary Bean, due so by making a donation to the Detroit Institute of Arts. He loved art and that museum. To date over $3300.00 has been donated in his honor. 

Are you playing this life too small??

Reblogged from Networked's Weblog:

I think I am.

Who am I kidding. I know I am. But most of us are, right?

Sure we may have moments of greatness where we feel like we are playing to our full potential. But how often do those really happen? More importantly how do you have more of those? I’m reminded of the line “It only takes 20 seconds of insane courage” from the movie “We Bought a Zoo”.
