The day's tasks had already been worked through, it was just a matter of appearances. Holzer calls this the input virus. Always look busy, be active. “Anyone who admits that they don't have something to do around the clock is eyed with suspicion,” says Holzer. The situation he describes is just one of many that takes courage to raise his voice. But it's worth it.

Trust yourself!

It's not about a performance comparison. Performance Coaching focuses on improving public performance. This is influenced both by their own feelings and by the recognition of the mechanisms behind the RPGs.

Since childhood, we have all been pushed into roles and roles, which we more or less internalize. With her roles and understanding of the roles and the language of emotions, the author is at the beginning of the book. The first section is completed with practical exercises for reflection.

Join and practice!

A special BusinessThe author succeeded in the book. Anyone who actively works through “Performance Coaching” learns a lot about themselves and will be able to use their appearance more successfully and consciously in meetings and presentations.

Say it with a smile

The little ABC of hidden signals is a very simple book - but all the better to use in everyday work. Very practically deciphered and summarized in the book with surprising Tricks comes up - such as the look at the tie knot.

"The sound makes the music! - This applies to the rock band or the symphony orchestra. When performing at the lectern or small talk or in the coffee kitchen, there is much more to it.

How you are actually perceived by your audience decide not (only) the words you choose, but the non-verbal accompaniment through gestures, facial expressions and looks (“window into the soul”).

The power of hidden signals

"The eyes are one of our most important means of communication", the authors Gabriele Cerwinka and Gabriele Schranz reveal in their joint book "The Power of Hidden Signals". In it, the two trainers unmask our secret body language from head to toe.

The two explain how unspoken they are at their counterpart resistors recognizable by their attitude and, if necessary, their own emotions dub if you like the Executive powerfully rising to his feet.

Master of body language

Did you know? Alone on the face "there are about 20 muscles that are only there to express our feelings." You don't have to know them by name. In any case, our subconscious registers whether a smile is real or painted on, whether the wrinkles around the eyes "laugh" or actually "worry".

In their book, Cerwinka and Schranz cover the entire spectrum of body language Office – from the first handshake (“whoever turns the back of their hand downwards symbolizes dominance”) to the sitting position (“whoever moves their hands and legs forward defines their territory, wants distance”).

Eliminate emotional and spatial blockages

Above all, the authors would like to prevent you from sending out unfavorable signals with many practical tips. You can to practice. Not in pantomime, but in an open and self-confident way Appear: Who no Anxiety does not even have to conceal it.

In order to ensure an optimal conversation climate, you should, in addition to the possible emotional blockages always clear the spatial barriers out of the way. For example, in a crisis dialogue, change the seating position from the “confrontation position” (opposite) to the “constructive seating arrangement”. That creates a better climate.

Knock-out through tie look

And if you are still flashed? Then counter them - of course non-verbally with the "tie look": "Look intensely for a few seconds at a point in the upper tie area. That unsettles. Your counterpart will briefly cross this point and subsequently change his position. ”

Very good, clear book (not only) for women who are no longer impressed by the dominance of their colleagues and would like to come across a bit more self-confident.

5 star menu for your feelings

It is perhaps one of the greatest achievements of civilization that we generally keep our emotions under control to some extent Control have. But maybe we've been doing too much of a "good thing" for a long time. That's why the author Richard Röhrhoff recommends taking off the straitjacket and showing feelings.

I have no idea how Richard Röhrhoff feels about Peer Steinbrück. But if you follow the author, the electoral defeat against Angela Merkel can be completely ignored for sure not attributed to his personality. Steinbrück complains publicly, lets himself be carried away to tears in front of the cameras, and shows the stretched middle finger in a photo shoot.

Offers enormous attack surfaces and polarizes. But remains, according to Röhrhoff, Honestly and tangible. And his story may not be over yet, because “showing a clear edge and doing it authentic staying leads to long-term success.”

Mixed emotions

In his very entertaining guide “Feeling instead of calculation”, the author wants to help you “to your emotional Style to confess – with all positive and negative effects.” The balance at the end

is definitely in the "plus". Because “you don't have to please everyone to be successful. Above all, you have to please yourself. ” Dealing openly with one's own joy, anger, sadness or disappointment is an essential building block for a more stable ego. And for better interaction with others. "The emotional soul is illogical and capricious, but extremely powerful."

Learning and relearning

Using many examples and small case studies, Röhrhoff shows how it is possible to walk the fine line between politeness and disrespect if you give your emotions more space in everyday life. You give up the trained restraint of your feelings where real emotions clear are more promising.

Also with the boss, to whom you later make it clear after the unjustified whistle in the meeting room that you want targeted and constructive behavior (“polite and authentic and not insulting and snotty”).

Complain - but please loud!

And what do you do with the guy who just took the right of way at the intersection? You do not have to swallow it down. Blatantly loud, he does not hear it. But please do not fall for the misbelief that only you alone would constantly encounter such idiots, or those idiots would direct their reckless behavior against you personally. The truth is, there are just too many of these idiots.

Richard Röhrhoff motivates you with many good arguments and examples to show more emotions in everyday life and to put aside the fear of the consequences. Anyone who appears authentically will be forgiven for mistakes.
