Let's Shake on It!

"Much like dancing, the fine art of the handshake takes practice," says Michael Dalton Johnson. "Stand before a mirror and extend your hand. Check to see if you're projecting an image of confidence, warmth and enthusiasm. Keep in mind that your handshake reflects your personality, and should be a spontaneous gesture of friendly greeting that comes naturally from within," he advises. "With a little rehearsal, you will develop the ability to tailor your handshake to every situation you face, and each individual you meet."
