Hi, The participant who was afraid to bend over because she might reveal too much of her rear end doesn't that make anyone besides me a little crazy? Of course, I would tell her gently that she can return to her chair, if she prefers, and write her poster there. Call me judgmental if you must, but another part of me wants to know why any one of us should consider this a problem for the facilitator.
On another topic, tables, I have this to add... I now have the habit of asking my clients in advance about the ages of the people likely to attend. Older or overweight folks sometimes do have trouble bending, and I notice those who gamely kneel down occasionally have difficulty rising again. The client and I discuss the best thing to do under the circumstances. I am normally reluctant to use tables, but having such a conversation seems like good consulting practice to me. I find the larger the group/circle, the less uncomfortable I am using a table. With a small group, I want to avoid it, most times. Spring has arrived beautifully here in New Jersey, USA. It was the best year ever for lilacs. Soon the bright pink peonies will droop and waggle their huge, showy headdresses. I hope things are lovely where you are.
