you are actually not listening.
You are thinking about what you're gonna say back.
Do I know this person?
Or what am I gonna say next?
Or a million other thoughts that pop into your head.
It's not a memory issue.
You didn't forget the name.
You never knew it.
Imagine I give you a twig.
And I tell you, write my name in the sand at the beach.
And you try with the twig first wave, washes it away.
But if I give you a thick branch, you carve it in, you repeat those letters, it's gonna take a whole lot of waves until there's no trace.
So here's what each of you is going to do.
I challenge you, when you meet the next person, make your mind a blank for all of two seconds.
When they say their name, truly listen.
Everybody say it with me, repeat.
We are going to say their name twice back to them, right?
Ashley, is that right?
