Episode 36: Rethinking how we remember people
🎙 Episode Title: Rethinking How We Remember People
Have you ever met someone and instantly forgotten their name, even though you remember what they were wearing?
Or struggled to recall details about someone you actually care about?
In this episode of Rethink: The Podcast, Nicki Hambleton explores how visual thinking can become your secret superpower for remembering people, not just their names, but who they are.
Inspired by a simple idea from her teaching days when she created Top Trumps-style cards to get to know her students, Nicki reimagines how visuals can help us connect more deeply and recall people more vividly. She unpacks a little of the science behind memory and imagery, shares her creative process and explains how sketching, symbols, and story cues can transform the way we see others.
Whether you’re trying to remember your team, learning new faces, or want to make meaningful connections, this episode will help you really connect and see people beyond their name.
💡 Key Themes:
