Where will you sit?

Round tables, in particular, abolish hierarchy. There’s no head. There’s no angle. Everyone sees everyone else equally.

Rectangular tables subtly create roles.

Small tables create an intimate atmosphere.

Large tables generate energy.

The place you occupy influences your experience more than you think.

Emotional Place: How You Show Up Matters More
Here’s a deeper truth: sometimes the place you occupy isn’t physical.

This is emotional.

You can sit at the head of the table and feel invisible.
You can sit quietly in a corner and feel deeply connected.
You can sit among many and feel lonely.
You can sit next to one person and feel understood.

The real question is: how do you present yourself at the table?

Are you:

Current?

Distracted?

Grateful?

Defensive?

Open? Food may bring people together, but it’s presence that brings them together.
