We all have those “What If”
moments—like, what if I split my pants? What if I take a bite of too-hot food
in public? Or…
WHAT DO I DO…if I blank on someone’s name,
mid-introduction?
“Hello, I’d like to introduce to
you…” Who, exactly? Oh no, you’ve
forgotten the other person’s name!
This happens to everyone, and the
solution is simple: Smile and say, “Your name has escaped me.” Then the other
person should pick up the introduction and run with it. If they miss the hint,
say again that you’ve forgotten the name—just do it with a smile.
It’s far better to admit that you’ve
blanked rather than not make the introduction. Make the introduction as best
you can! The more you practice making introductions—even with people whose
names you’ve forgotten—the better you’ll get at it.
Stay tuned for our next What If!
Great info! Thanks for sharing.
