The seat you choose during a presentation will affect your interaction, influence, and level of learning. And you thought all you had to do was show up on time!
Sit Your Way to Success explains why your seat selection in any situation has an impact on the results of that meeting. There are many variables that influence a meeting’s success; some you may have control over, others you may not – including the table shape and size, room layout, leader, and participants. You may not be able to influence who will attend the meeting or their personalities, but you can set yourself up for success by strategically choosing where you sit.
No matter what your role may be in an organization, this book is for you. It’s packed with all the information you need to select the best place to sit to help you meet your goals. As a meeting leader you will understand how each participant’s seat position influences the result of your meeting. Sales people will learn how to apply this vital information to close sales faster. Presenters and trainers will learn the best room arrangements to help them meet their educational outcomes.
