I was determined to analyze the talk and event for a hour afterward, draw some conclusions and learn some lessons, and then move on. My campus contact apologized graciously afterward. She had seen folks who were checked out and unruly and felt bad. I thanked her, but once again, just chalked it up as something that happens every once in a while. My feelings weren’t hurt because I don't take situations like these personally, and I assumed at least one person got something out of it. I was headed out thinking that this was just one of those times when things don’t go as planned and that it was just a bad crowd I didn’t connect with. Worst gig ever? Maybe. Worst audience? Probably. Oh well. I’ve got another speech in about 10 days in Georgia. Time to get ready. But then, students came up to me in the foyer. Pockets of five or six guys approached thanking me for my time and message and apologizing for their classmates’ behavior and unwillingness to listen. This wasn’t an idle gesture - these guys mentioned parts of my talk and what they had learned. Several said they would start tomorrow with some of the challenges I issued. I got to chat with about 15 guys in all.
