A few months ago I wrote an article on how to remember phone extensions and had great feedback that it worked for many graduates of the Memory Training Workshop.  However, some of you asked, “Leah, what do I do if the extension is longer?” So in this article I am going to give two examples of three and four digit extensions.

There are two options for longer extensions, one is pretty basic and the other is a bit more advanced. We’ll start Read More...

If you live in fear of forgetting people’s names, sometimes within mere seconds of being introduced to them, you’re not alone. Surveys show that 83% of the population worries about their inability to recall people’s names.
