This week on the Squiggly Careers podcast, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from an unexpected source — the psychology of seats. Inspired by a conversation about how we choose where to sit, Helen talks about how your seating choices can shape the way you feel, behave, and influence others at work. From safe seats that help us feel in control to power positions in meetings and even virtual seating on video calls, this episode reveals how something as simple as your seat can affect confidence, inclusion, and collaboration. You’ll leave with small, practical shifts to help you show up differently — and boost your impact and influence at work.Episode 506🦞 Pre-order Learn Like A Lobster:PRH US - https://bit.ly/3KxTeBnAmazon UK - https://amzn.to/3KcRZaR⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Introduction & Announcement 01:54 Borrowing brilliance from the psychology of seats03:54 Why where you sit says more about you than you think07:54 Seat safety — comfort, confidence, and control12:34 Power seats — what your meeting position communicates15:54 Round tables, rectangles, and creating collaboration20:04 The height effect20:54 No-seat meetings22:54 Virtual seats29:54 Inclusion, confidence, and creating space for others🎯 What You’ll LearnWhy your seat can shape your confidence and influenceHow seating choices affect team dynamics and inclusionHow to use “seat psychology” to build better meetings and connectionsSimple ways to change where (and how) you sit to boost your impact📚 Resources MentionedLearning Cog: https://www.learningcog.comThe Long Win by Kath Bishop: bit.ly/4he0Rt4For questions about Squiggly Careers or to share feedback, please email
