Some types of rude people you can meet while presenting and why they are rude:
- Heckler - a person who tries to interrupt and disrupt your speech - has an unmet need for personal worth: recognize their points
- Over-zealous - first to raise or answer a question making it difficult for others to participate - has a strong need for approval: give them credit for their points
- Squawker - very negative in what they say and complain about things - have a need for acknowledgement - recognize that they have their own point of view
