More rudeness

Fellow speaker,

Here are some more rude people and the reasons for their rudeness:
  • Turned-off - daydreaming and not paying attention - is not connected to the speech - make sure your speech is relevant to your audience's needs
  • Intimidator - tries to confront using aggressive words or actions - desires power: stand up to them and make sure you keep control of the situation
  • Expert - "know-it-all" who challenges the speaker and argues with the other responders - wants to be recognized: recognize their point
More about rude people,
