How to Handle Hecklers...
In the Midwest, people are usually to polite to heckle a business presentation. Either that, or they're too scared of getting fired when they loudly shout "boo" or "yeah, right" at the boss in the middle a PowerPoint presententation.
It's a tight job market, after all.
But if people are afraid to actively respond to what you say or how you say it, how on earth do you know if you're connecting with them at all? Or on what level?
How do you respond to criticism, nags, or hecklers? There are definite advantages to inviting, as opposed to avoiding hecklers.
How do you invite good criticism? And what are the differences between good critics and a nasty nags?
