Our group does as Rosemary suggests and we all end up in a different seat every week. It works well.

Regular dances are a great idea. It is too easy to assume we know what someone does!

Thanks Colin for these wise words.

I think I called a “RUT” rotten unforgetable times or a grave without ends in my book The Naked Career!

Either way, whether it be your career or BNI membership being in a RUT is not the place to be.

Keep up the great posts 🙂

Great article Colin and 7 good tips.

It is amazing how many people do sit in the same spot each week and talk to the same people rather than getting around other members of the group.

One way around this of course that we have seen work well, is for the membership committee to place name tags randomly around the table. The members then have no option but to get to know other members.
