So today I, I'm doing one, it's kind of a backwards session, but I call it things you don't have to do at a business social gathering.

Now understand, I'm kind of keeping it specific to business social gatherings and event management.

Gatherings are normally classified into seven core types based on their primary purpose, and most of us have been to many of these.

Uh, for example, there's, um, there's corporate, which is, in other words, what you do for your job.

in other words, you're not a shirt and tie kind of guy, but you still go to a business gathering, there are certain behaviors that are expected there, and they're specific to the, uh, type of, of organization.

So in other words, if you work for a sports organization, uh, and, uh, you're just the guy that goes out there and sweeps the plates, I don't know, or serves the cola, or works as a secretary, whatever it is, it still kind of goes off into the sports, uh, direction.

But know that these things have primary purposes, they have audiences, and they have scale.

Sometimes these things are held in stadiums, and, uh, there's just hundreds or thousands of people.

Sometimes they're much more intimate if it's the small business kind of thing, or it's just your department or whatever it is.

I just wanna kinda get your toe into what it really requires to get you thinking about behavioral adjustments on this.
