Our guest today is Jeanne Martinet, the author of The Art of Mingling: Fun and Proven Techniques for Mastering Any Room.

I've always been a pretty strong introvert and never enjoyed mingling-type events very much – until I read this book about fifteen years ago.

The book was eye-opening for me, and while I would not say that I'm good at mingling, the techniques in this book at least help me survive and even enjoy myself.

So it was a huge amount of fun to speak with Jeanne and discuss the advice in the book and how she came to write it.

If you'd like to get better at mingling, I strongly recommend Jeanne's book.
