It is difficult when you have no idea what people might be interested in. I have had my attitude readjusted a bit recently due to going to talk to business people about intellectual property expecting them to be clued-up and ask me Hard Questions, and then finding that while they spontaneously find out loads of stuff about business for themselves, when it comes to patents and trade marks they turn into intimidated little kids who want someone to sit down with them and explain very simple things in very simple words. It's sweet, really.
