A handshake is a short ritual in which two people grasp each other's right or left hand often accompanied by a brief up and down movement of the grasped hands. While its origins remain obscure, archaeological ruins and ancient texts show that handshaking was practiced as far back as the 2nd century BC
The handshake is initiated when the two hands touch, immediately. It is commonly done upon meeting, greeting, parting, offering congratulations, expressing gratitude, or completing an agreement
Its purpose is to convey trust, balance, and equality
Initiating a proper handshake will make an incredibly positive impression. You will be perceived as a person who is knowledgeable, possesses excellent social skills, and has leadership capabilities.
An excellent handshake shows your charm and self-confidence. It becomes an integral part of your style.
“Any person who has charm and some confidence can move in and through societies ranging from the most privileged to the most needy. Style allows the person to appear neither inferior in one location nor superior in the other.”
—Maya Angelou... (noted poet, educator, and best-selling author)
The group has discovered the ‘Y’ handshake that has resulted significant impact and connection with the people we touch. It goes this way:
1. Gently look 'through' the eyes (not stare);
2. At the same time, put your hand on your chest and then extend your hand;
3. Do a warm handshake (not hard shake or quick shake): feel the energy before you withdraw your hand.
We will from now on use this new form of handshake whenever we meet Clients, Candidates, Colleagues and Suppliers.
