E4/S2 NAME MAGNET - Why names matter and how to remember them

In this week's episode, Andrew explored why names at work matter and how to remember them.   After a lively miniplay about name recall, Andrew identifies the three main questions people seem to have about this topic. 

• Why is it important to recall people's names at work
• What's the best system for remembering people's names?
• What if I lack the mental powers to remember names?

He then explores these with further suggestions. Such as not accepting that you don't have sufficient mental powers to recall names.  What matters more is your intent--you must want to recall names. Also the importance of re-enforcement plus linked images to aid recall.  The episode ends with the three practical action steps you can take on this critical work issue, together with a single significant Takeaway.
