About the event
Flex Your Memory to Master Names and Faces
Has your mind ever gone blank on a person’s name right after being introduced? If you’d like to know why—and want to stop—this event is for you!
Flex Your Memory is a lively, interactive workshop that everyone from teens to seniors can relate to. You will learn why we often retain many details about the people we meet but forget their names almost at once. We’ll play fun, imagination-based games that teach you how to make names stick. You will leave understanding why “flexing your memory” is as vital to your health as diet, exercise, and rest.
No matter what your calling is in life, chances are it’s predicated on building relationships—and that starts with remembering someone’s name.
