5. Leg Over Arm of Chair

This is mainly done by men. It signifies ownership of the chair and an informal and aggressive attitude.

6. Straddling Over a Chair

Here the person dominates or controls whilst at the same time protecting their front. The back of the chair acts as a shield.

7. The Catapult

Men tend to do this more than women. It can appear intimidating and give the image of a cool and confident “know it all attitude” - used a lot by accountants, lawyers and sales managers. Women don’t like it especially in business meetings. Men rarely do it with their superiors.

8. Readiness

Here the starter's position is adopted. There is a desire to finish the meeting as quickly as possible!
