Tip of the month - November 2025
How can you use body language to persuade others?
And what do our posture, gestures, and facial expressions reveal about us before we even say a word?
Nonverbal communication plays a key role in both university and work, especially during lectures and presentations. That's why we recommend the book „Nonverbal kommunizieren: Körperausdruck in Studium und Beruf erfolgreich einsetzen“ by Maria Luise Gebauer, Maxi Mercedes Grehl, and Friderike Lange. It shows you how to use your body language in a targeted way to come across as confident and authentic. With lots of practical exercises and clear examples, you will learn how to be more aware of the effect you have on others in order to convey your message clearly and convincingly.
Note: Unfortunately, the book is currently only available in German.
