Conflict resolution body language
Recognize before it crashes

Arguments with your partner, arguments with a colleague and escalation in traffic.
Not a day without nerve-wracking conflicts.

Yet studies show that most arguments arise from trivial matters.

Body language is always the trigger - and also the signal that a conflict is brewing. An arrogant look, an arrogant chin or an aggressive stare suddenly make words smell like a row.

Dynamite Doris naturally takes this as an opportunity to fire off her verbal torpedoes, while the chair circle Susannes fuels every conflict with "we need to talk". The slick body language of pull-through Dieter, on the other hand, only reveals one thing: "I'm ignoring you and your feelings."

And so the little thing turns into an emotional injury that lasts a long time and even destroys relationships.

Body language expert Stefan Verra shows with a lot of wit, acting talent and scientific know-how how you can recognize a conflict before it escalates. He demonstrates with a great deal of self-irony why "Let's stay objective!" never works.

By the end of the show, you will be able to decode the smallest signals from your counterpart and know which facial expressions and gestures to use to skillfully calm an escalation.

This will make family celebrations, meetings and vacations with your partner exactly what they should be: Harmonious!

As always with a body speaker, you won't know at the end whether you laughed more or learned more.
