Clapping is a reminder, but not necessarily the sole indicator, that you gave something.
Clapping is one response to giving, but
Loud clapping doesn’t necessarily mean you gave more…as it could just be the amount of alcohol they consumed.
No clapping (or not-as-loud clapping) doesn’t necessarily mean you gave less…as I’ve never clapped while watching a sun set.
Stay focused on the giving. Walk off stage knowing you gave your message. Be relentless at refining your message to connect even better with your people.
Clapping or no clapping, loud clapping or finger snapping, they’re there. They’re in the room. They chose to be in the room.
Give.
They’ll probably say thank you by clapping.
And you can say you’re welcome by making sure you gave a good show.
