Vogelhuber, Scheelen - What people really want

                 convince  your  partner,  gain  his  trust  or  achieve  your
                 goals.

               Your  attitude  is  decisive:  if  you  want  to  criticize  in  an
               employee-  and  solution-oriented  way,  for  example,  you  will
               also communicate this through your body language. However,
               if you say that you want to work with the employee to find a
               solution,  but  in  reality  you  would  like  to  shout  him  down
               because you are angry with him, his body language will betray
               you mercilessly.

               Through  your  appearance,  posture,  gestures,  facial  expression,
               speech tempo and modulation, you send out mostly unconscious
               nonverbal  signals  -  but  you  can  also  use  them  consciously  to
               control the course of the conversation: By using body language
               offensively,  you  indicate  that  you  are  open  to  the  conversation,
               that  you  want  to  engage  with  the  other  person,  and  that  you
               would like to meet him or her with sympathy. You can use signals
               such  as  nodding  your  head  to  reinforce  your  verbal  statements
               and  show  the  other  person  what  you  think  of  their  words
               (rejection, skepticism, approval, enthusiasm). Nodding or shaking
               your head, for example, expresses agreement or disagreement.
               Finally,  eye  contact:  You  use  it  to  establish  intensive  contact  -
               this  is  particularly  important  in  problematic  conversational
               situations.


                 The better you engage with your conversation partner in
                 terms  of  language  and  body  language,  the  greater  the
                 chance that a relationship of trust will develop and that
                 you  will  be  able  to  recognize  and  classify  his  or  her
                 drivers.

               Let's move on to the second aspect, where body language is
               important:
