You have finished the speech, she received a polite applause. Now why? Well, it's not over my recommendation. Don't rush out of the room, don't try to hop the first plane out of there. Don't leave the conference to go relax by the pool as much as that might be an attraction for you. Instead, work the room now you might not be a politician.

But you do want to communicate your ideas. So stay in the room because people may want to ask you questions. They may have been too intimidated to ask a question in their language or to try to ask in English in front of people, but they may be perfectly comfortable talking to you, one on one, and that may be the moment where you really connect with people. you've answered their question and sometimes you can see Ah, now I get it. It also just creates a much stronger personal bond. People will trust you more, they'll like you more.

They'll give you higher valuations. If that's relevant to where you are speaking. So, stay in the room. meet as many people as possible. Shake hands, be friendly. Ask them questions and let them ask you questions because this is still an opportunity for you to communicate.

You're still in the spotlight. for that particular room, you're the biggest celebrity there so you might as well enjoy your celebrity status while at last. So talk to people in the room. be the last person out of the room and you'll make the most out of this speaking engagement.
