THE HANDSHAKE

History of Handshake History is not exactly clear…  Believed originally to be a gesture between two men to show that they were not carrying a weapon.  Traditionally, handshaking was between men

What TO do  Wipe hands discreetly first if they are sweaty  Start about a yard away  Make eye contact with the other person  Extend right hand in a vertical position with thumb up  Firm grip without crushing  Wrap fingers around hand  Pump once or so and release the grip

What NOT to do  Two handed shake – too friendly  Hand on shoulder – invades space  Pull hand away too quickly  Have any cologne or perfume on hands  Be distracted

Other Cultures  Be sure to check customs before traveling to other countries on business because in some countries, handshaking is not the norm.

People with Disabilities  Visually impaired… ask “may I shake your hand?” and bring your hand to meet his  Missing or non-functioning right hand... simply extend your left.  If someone isn’t able to shake at all… Light nod or light touch on the arm is appropriate

When to Shake Hands  Upon meeting someone for the first time  Greeting someone you don’t see regularly  At the start of an interview  When parting with someone you don’t see regularly  To show agreement  When someone offers you their hand  Welcoming people into your home or office

What do you do if… Someone offers you their left hand…  Just shake it normally They have sweaty palms…  Discreetly wipe hands later to not make them embarrassed Someone doesn’t shake when you offer…  Simply nod, drop your hand and carry on Your hands are full…  Try to shift things to your left hand, or just offer your left hand

Introduce Yourself  If you are meeting someone, always introduce yourself as you shake hands. Your handshake is the way you make your FIRST IMPRESSION.

Technique  Only pump hand 1-3 times  Shake from your elbow, not your shoulder or wrist

Handshake Styles

Vise Grip  Most common and widely accepted  Do not use too strong of a grip, this will leave a bad first impression

Cold Fish  Person lets hand dangle there like a cold fish  People find this annoying

Bone Crusher  Too much confidence  wants to dominate  Plus… it hurts!

Water Pump  Exceeds acceptable number of pumps  And… they usually hold onto your hand when done

Remember  People believe that your frame of mind is communicated through your handshake.  Don’t appear weak or domineering
