Going to any event, as an audience member, we sit in anticipation ready for the speaker to come out on stage. We talk to the person next to us in our seat, we look at the programmes and watch the auditorium fill up. We wait until the time for the event to start and we go through a range of emotions, whether the event will be any good, and what the speaker(s) will talk about throughout the time we sit in the auditorium. In this blog, we explore what engages us as an audience and what happens when we feel bored.

This blog aims to help you navigate that initial conversation effectively, allowing you to present your true self while maintaining professionalism.
