[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My big take-away here is that this person is sitting in a way that is distracting others from her valuable input at the meeting.  To be sure, there may be no etiquette rules against sitting the way she is; however, the way she is sitting is causing others to focus more on her behavior than her contribution.  That is never good.

Now someone will take offense at my statement because they want to dress / sit / curse / whatever any which way they want.  That is their right.  I'm just pointing out that if you want to be taken seriously in a business environment then you usually should choose to dress, sit, speak and whatever in that environment in a way that shows you want to be taken seriously.  I wouldn't wear a clown suit to a funeral and neither would I sit looking dour at a circus.  There is a time and place for everything.[/quote]

If that is your big takeaway, my thought is that you don't have a lot of presence.  People listen to me regardless of how I sit because my input is very valuable.  Then again, I am generally spending my time in meetings thinking about the issues at hand and not how everyone is sitting.[/quote]

Really?  The FP is pointing out that the weird sitter is drawing negative attention to herself because of her own actions and your response is to attack the FP?  Yeah, you betcha people "listen to you" because your "input is very valuable", riiiiiiighhht![/quote]
