There are three messages: Before, during and after your speech

Speakers with good manners behave in a way that shows that they respect other speakers as well. It is rude and unprofessional when someone doesn't pay attention to those who make their presentations before him. When you talk to the person next to you or when you give all your attention to your smartphone, you are sending a signal that you are not polite. We have all seen this happen. It damages your personal brand, says the businessknowhow.com website.

Be vital and open both on and off stage

Be warm and vital during your speech and don’t change suddenly after the speech. If someone from the audience approaches you, they might get confused and irritated by an unfriendly, or even fierce reaction. You could be perceived as a fake, not authentic and not actually interested in the audience and the people who listened to your speech. Your speech may lose its impact.

Speakers with good manners demonstrate that they respect both their audience and the other speakers by smiling, applauding and giving constant eye contact. By doing this, you make a good impression the second you enter the building or conference hall. So be present when you show up. People are watching. You are being assessed.

Meet your audience after your speech

It starts when you arrive. You should be energetic and greet the people who are there as you enter the building. If there is a reception after the event, you should attend and be friendly and open. Even if the attendees move to local restaurant, it is great to go there as well and socialize with them. Informal conversation can bring you interesting opportunities in the future.
