    Proxemics

    Explanation:

    Proxemics broadly refers to the way humans communicate using space. It is a form of non verbal communication hinging on space, the study of it, how humans tend to use it and how we make ourselves comfortable using space or what we put in those spaces. It's the distance individuals put between themselves and other individuals. In this case, the CEO used space to indicate a power differential, giving herself a spacious corner and letting the rest share spaces.
