Then, I talked with the person he mentioned, and lastly I&nbsp;talked with the speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-3qMjkP\">The bigger picture that I learned from the situation is that it was a misunderstanding rooted in the fact that in the origin country of the speaker, a similar behaviour was accepted, and the speaker was indeed new to <span id=\"urn:enhancement-42793b76\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/germany\">Germany<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-Igrl9l\">The speaker apologized to the person and to me, and said they will not attend the meetup in the near future and asked to send their apologies to the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-15b9bbac\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/community\">community<\/span>, which we did in the next event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-u0d0I8\" id=\"h-why-and-how-to-become-a-community-manager\">Why and how to become a Community Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-XkZcm2\"><strong>Why did you decide to become a <span id=\"urn:enhancement-23eacfb7\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/community\">community<\/span> <span id=\"urn:enhancement-ad20f7cd\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/talent_manager\">manager<\/span>, and what is the most valuable thing you got in return?
