Hey, Jordan Harbinger here from the Art of Charm. Welcome to Miniso Monday. I'm happy to be here with you.

Kick it off the week with something quick and actionable that you can implement right away that'll make you more magnetic and effective.

Today, we're back with Jim Quick, a brain slash memory coach who's got some superhero powers.

Today, we're going to talk about using the acronym Charm, how appropriate to help us remember names better. Jim, thanks for coming in.

Jordan, especially to be back and I love what you're doing here because I think memory is so important for making new connections and you're talking about remembering names.

I think it's it's a valuable asset in both business and social arena so it helps you to build instant rapport and with new contacts and connections and make first great first impressions.

So, so I you want to just go right into it. Yeah, go right into it. Okay, so Charm, do you hear five tips on how to quickly remember names and faces.

And so the C and Charm actually stands for care and what I mean by that is everybody tunes into their favorite radio station right W I F M and that stands for we get it.

In Los Angeles, in New York, in Tokyo, in Sydney and London with all your listeners, it's what's in it for me right that's everyone's favorite subject.

And here's the thing when it comes to your memory and leaving really good first impressions, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

And it's really hard to show somebody you're going to care for their friendship, care for their future, care for their health, their family, their business, whatever it is you want to.

In part with them, if you don't care enough just to remember their name. And so I would start with caring and tune into what's in it for me because I believe that.

Reasons reap results, reasons, represults that if you ask yourself, why do I want to remember this person's name, maybe to show the person.

Respect, maybe to create a new business associate, maybe it's to create a new client or new friend, maybe to practice these things that I learned on the podcast.

If you just come up with a couple of reasons, you're more likely to remember it. And I'm, you know, Maya Angelou has this quote that says people will remember what you said they won't even remember what you did.

They'll remember how you made them feel. And since a name is a sweetest sound to persons ears, you want to remember that person's name.

The H in charm stands for here, here, like hear the name, listen for the name. A lot of people, they blame, they come to me and they say, oh, I just can't remember this conversation or this joke or this speech or these numbers or this language, whatever it is.

And people blame their retention. And it's not their retention. It's their attention. A lot of people aren't really listening because what they're doing is they're meeting somebody at a party or at a wedding or at a conference.

And what they're doing is they're talking to themselves. They're not really listening. They're waiting for their turn to talk and they have this self talk thinking, oh, how am I going to respond to this person? And if there's a conversation going on with you and you inside your mind and you in a stranger, you just met.

You're more likely to listen to yourself. So a lot of people aren't forgetting the name. They're actually not hearing the name. So just be silent and really listen.

And we talked about this. If you take the word listen and scrambling the letters, it also spells or it's silence. And I think that powerful presence and being silent with people is going to definitely help you to remember people's names better.

The A in charm stands for ask, ask. And I love this one because occasionally we meet somebody and their name is different, right? You meet somebody, I mean, John and Jim and Jordan, pretty common names, right?
