In this brief instructional video, Tom Krieglstein explains a simple but often overlooked detail when arranging chairs for meetings or workshops. He advises that each row should contain an even number of seats so that, when participants are asked to "turn to your neighbor," everyone has a partner. Uneven rows can leave a person in the middle without a neighbor, causing them to be isolated. The tip aims to improve inclusivity and smooth facilitation during interactive activities.

Chapters

Hey, Tom here. I'm in my room, where I'll be speaking, which you can see right here. And everyone's gonna be showing up shortly. But I want to show you something before everyone gets here about the chairs that most people don't think about. Look at this. When you're setting up chairs, one of the things you want to check is to make sure you have an even number of seats per row. Because so often in the program, or at least my program, I'll say, turn to your neighbor. And if there are uneven numbers, that means this person in the middle is not going have any option to be able to turn to someone, because these two will turn to each other, and then those two will turn to each other, but this poor person will be left alone. So it's a chance to be able to make sure that everyone has a partner to share with you.
