We had one guy at GE that would lean in and out while making points. One of our younger guys came up with the perfect defense: A Notepad. It extended his "space" such that the close talked wouldn't violate. You just had to point the note pad, or stack of paper towards 'Reed".

Reed was an interesting guy. He removed all chairs from his office/cubical. He put 2 stacks of Telephone books under his keyboard for comfortable typing from a standing position. I'm not sure what he did when he was given a PC with a mouse. He was one of the last guys to convert from Vax Terminal to a PC.
