And if it's hard for you to

remember things about people, like names (I'm very guilty of this ) repeat things back to them during the

conversation without sounding like a robot. It will help YOU remember better if you say

them.

Examples:

"Nice to meet you, Rob."

"Wow! Harvard. Really?"

"I've never been to

Pennsylvania. What's it like?"

"And that was after they sewed your thumb back on? Crazy!"

It

keeps the conversation going, and helps little brains like mine remember different people, especially if I meet a

lot of people at once.
