Susan C. Young
“Mingle

• Be the connector—introduce people to each other who may not otherwise connect.
• Be a conversation fire starter; point out what people have in common as you are introducing them.
• Seek out the folks who may appear to be shy, or awkward, or wallflowers. Find ways to build trust and comfort. Engage them with a kind word to pull them out of their shell.
• Arrive early and stay late; connect with people before and after your event.
• Stretch beyond your comfort zone to speak with, sit with, and start conversations with people whom you do not know.
• Offer to refill someone’s drink or clear their plate.
• Encourage introductions: “There is someone whom I would love for you to meet . . .”
Susan C. Young, The Art of Action: 8 Ways to Initiate & Activate Forward Momentum for Positive Impact

“Our research shows that over half of the workforce say mastering AI feels like a second job. Posts about feeling overwhelmed while navigating change spiked 56 percent globally in 2025. Importantly, when it comes to big career moments, people turn to people first. Networks are still the number one trusted source at work, according to a LinkedIn global survey. Not search engines. Not AI tools. Other people. So find your people. Share what you’re learning and get inspired by what they’re learning too.”
— Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI”
