So many new names to learn and so little time.  When you are at a meeting around a conference room table where each person introduces himself/herself, draw a map of the table in your notes with the names of each person, where they are sitting and any additional info: titles, where they are from, etc.

During the meeting, try to find patterns that will help you remember the names... two "M" names: "Mark" and "Mariah;" rhyming names: Terry and Larry; alphabetical order: Nancy, Olivia, Peter.  Memorize the faces that go with each name.

Name recall does not require a photographic memory.  It requires practice.
