I forgot three people!
At my networking/socializing event someone called to confirm the address and I had no idea who they were. They came in and said hi, and I still didn't know! My first excuse is that i didn't recognize their number (didn't lock it in) and then she had a very colorful hat. Well, I think I smoothed it over with an apologetic email stating my 'genetic' difficulty in remembering names. But for some reason I can easily remember conversations I've had with people.
Same night, a friend/acquaintance who I've seen on a couple of occasions. I forgot her too! My excuse this time was that she was short. She's usually wearing heels, so the height thing threw me way off. I've been telling friends of mine that women are trained in the art of deception and camouflage, but I don't think i'll live this one down.
The third time was at an event where we heard entrepreneur and millionaire Arthur Wiley speak about his upcoming book. I swore I knew her name, but when I introduced her to my fiancee, who knew who she was, I said the wrong name. I actually thought she was a different person entirely.
Moral of these stories? Well, start to remember people's names. Otherwise, you'll have some crow to eat. I'll have to search for some ways and methods to prevent this from happening again, and share them with you of course!
As they say, if you want to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs.
Note: i'll be out of town until mid-week next week. Don't hold your breath for the next post. Go ahead and browse through some of my previous posts.
