I on the other hand am terrible at remembering names. Tell me your name and I'll forget it in 2 mins unless I make a conscious effort. Maybe that's laziness.

I on the other hand am terrible at remembering names. Tell me your name and I'll forget it in 2 mins unless I make a conscious effort. Maybe that's laziness. For me, if I meet someone in the corridor who I am not too familiar with, I will not greet them by their name because I have no concrete way to validate I will be accurate that quickly. It's a valuable skill though. The more chatty and familiar you make yourself, the more people remember you.
