Celebrities, they’re just like us.

This weekend’s chance celebrity encounter was a great reminder of the power of reconnecting.

Songstress superstar Adele halted her Las Vegas set Saturday evening when she spotted her doctor in the audience. In fact, she stopped singing mid-“When We Were Young” to inform the audience this unexpected guest delivered her son.

It’s a fun moment that serves as a reminder to check in with old contacts, especially before the end of the year. Whether it’s reminiscing or learning about a new opportunity, make time for a little networking in your life. You could even reach out to them with one of this week’s new jobs.
