Why people are rude

Fellow speaker,

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
About the rude ones,

Tim
