Making the Connection
A good opening line can help frame work conversations
Grab someone's attention at work by saying something like "You're the very person I want to see" or "I just heard something that will interest you," Judith Humphrey writes. If you're approaching someone who looks busy, start by asking if the person has time to talk.

Bud Light sent a man dressed in medieval clothing to Modist Brewery in Minneapolis to read a cease-and-desist message from a scroll calling on the brewery to change the name of its "Dilly Dilly" Mosaic Double IPA or face a tour of the pit of misery. "Dilly Dilly" is a trademarked slogan of Bud Light, and Modist can sell the rest of the beer in its taproom but won't be able to brew a beer with that name again.
