We talk a lot about what leaders say — but rarely about where they say it.
In this short episode of Relationships at Work, Russel Lolacher explores proxemics — the hidden language of personal space — and how distance, positioning, and physical presence quietly shape trust, power, and connection at work.
From offices designed to elevate authority, to feedback conversations that unintentionally trigger defensiveness, this episode unpacks how space communicates long before words do. You’ll learn the four zones of proxemics, why they matter for leaders, and how even virtual settings carry unspoken spatial cues.
