ETIQUETTE TIP OF THE MONTH

”Shaking hands”

A critical factor in giving a good first impression…or not.

It is said, two things determine success

1.     What you know; and

2.     How well you communicate what you know.

Often the second is more important than the first.

When it comes handshaking techniques:

Always push your hand in all the way meet web-to-web, with your fingers together and your palm straight out and thumb.

Never give a finger tip hold or start handshake, which is commonly just squeezing the other person’s hand short of meeting web-to-web.

Remember a good, professional handshake is completed by shaking a woman’s hand no differently than a man’s hand. There are no longer double standards.

“Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people”
