Analysis of the organizer of the event

Before this meeting I was feeling quite good. Everything was organized and prepared ahead of time. We had done good work with advertising the event and were expecting many participants. I was feeling hopeful.
    
The moderator arrived on time and was very polite, well-spoken and absolutely prepared for the meeting. My feeling of hope and confidence grew.
    
When the meeting was about to start we didn’t have very many participants. I was feeling a bit embarrassed and hoped that the moderator would not feel insulted. I suggested that we wait a bit longer because many people might still be at work. The moderator agreed with me. After a while we realized that we shouldn’t wait any longer and started our event. I made some jokes and tried to make the participants feel more comfortable in a situation where the lack of a crowd might make them feel self conscious. This seemed to make the situation feel less embarrassing.
     


The lectured was very good in his speech. He had prepared well and knew his topic by heart. I was listening with great interest and learned new things. The other participants seemed to feel the same and the energy in the room was good.

When the participants started asking questions we had a bit of a change in energy. The sense of interested listening turned into an active discussion. This was very good to see and I felt more like the event had been a success.

 After the event I had feedback from the participants. They mostly thought that the event was very interesting. I felt happiness and tiredness.
