So how is a proper handshake done? Listed below are the simple steps in making a handshake:
-Approach the person whom you want to shake hands with
-Make eye contact with him/her
-Give him/her a warm smile
-Extend your right hand towards him/her at a comfortable angle
-When he/she extend his/her hand, grasp it until the webs of the palms meet
-Shake a few times
-Make an introduction or a greeting
-End the handshake after 3 to 4 seconds
When someone approaches you and offers a handshake, it is a courteous thing to stand up before shaking his hand. If the right hand is disabled or is carrying something which cannot be put down, shake his hand using the left hand. If both hands are occupied, a simple nod and apology can be done.
In a cocktail party, one must hold his drinks with the left hand, making the right hand fairly available throughout the event for introductions.
