Understanding the Impact

Experiencing Conversation Arguments with your partner, squabbles with colleagues, escalating traffic situations – hardly a day goes by without nerve-wracking conflicts. Studies show that most arguments arise from trivial matters. The trigger is almost always body language – and simultaneously the earliest warning sign that a conflict is brewing.

An arrogant glance, a haughty chin, or an aggressive stare can suddenly make words reek of trouble. Of course, "Dynamite Doris" takes this as an opportunity to immediately launch her verbal torpedoes, while "Circle-Susanne" with her "We need to talk" only fuels the conflict. The smooth-talking body language of "Draft-Dieter," on the other hand, reveals only one thing: "I'm ignoring you and your feelings." Thus, a minor incident quickly becomes an emotional wound that has long-lasting effects and can even destroy relationships. Body language expert Stefan Verra, with his witty dialogue, theatrical flair, and scientific expertise, reveals how to recognize a conflict before it escalates. With plenty of self-irony, he also demonstrates why "Let's stay objective!" is guaranteed to never work.

By the end of the show, you'll be able to decipher the subtlest signals from the person you're speaking to—and know which facial expressions and gestures can skillfully defuse a tense situation. Family celebrations, meetings, and vacations with your partner will once again be what they should be: harmonious. As always with body language experts, you won't know whether you laughed more or learned more.
