Shaking Hands

It is astonishing how many people don't know how to properly shake hands. As we all know, there are really only three essentials - hands fully engaged, a firm grip and looking the person in the eye.

Three things. And yet, so many people screw it up. As I'm sure you will agree, this is not trivial stuff - mastering social basics still shouts whether your brain is working or not.

And let me be absolutely clear hear - I'm talking proper hand shaking - there isn't a curmudgeon alive who thinks much of all this fist bumping or fancy hand maneuvers. That stuff just shouts "idiot."
