How To Shake Hands Properly
Phyllis Davis (Business Etiquette Consultant) gives expert video advice on: What is the proper way to shake hands?
What is the proper way to shake hands?
Now when you shake hands, you reach your hand out and you go all the way in until your web touches their web. What I mean by all the way in is that's an American business handshake. Your palm is touching their palm, all the way in. Then, it's a three pumper, and while you're shaking their hand, use their name - "Hello David, it's a pleasure to meet you." So now while you say their name, they're enraptured. Here's a little trick you can play. This is from Desmond Morris, the famous anthropologist who studied primates. He realised that when mammals meet one another, they raise their eyebrows a sixth of a second, very quickly. So when I reach to shake someone's hand, Ill reach out and say, "Hello Tamara. My name is Phyllis Davis." It's unnoticeable, but it makes your eyes unprotected and gives the other person the sense that you trust them when shaking hands.
