What does a solid, comfortable, impressive handshake look and feel like? To deliver a great handshake. - Extend your right hand out vertically at a comfortable waist level toward the person you are meeting.- Connect hands with web to web contact made between the thumb and index finger. - Be intentional and appropriate by showing mutual respect and teamwork.- Gently squeeze firmly enough to be confident, yet lightly enough to be gracious. Shake a few times for good measure.- Discreetly rotate your wrist so that your hand is slightly on top of theirs when you want to subconsciously convey self-assurance.- Make eye contact and smile to show sincerity. Throw in an acknowledging head nod for good measure. Avoiding eye contact may be interpreted that you are not attentive or have something to hide.- Introduce yourself and when they share their name, repeat it back to them to help you remember it. “It is nice to meet you John.”- When in doubt, mirror their handshake to adapt to what makes them feel comfortable. Customize accordingly to the gender, age, position, personality, and culture of the person you are meeting. Susan C. Young
