Okay, I'm on a roll! After I found the fun "World's Worst 8 Handshakes" and wrote about it yesterday, I found this article on the same UK website. The 9 Golden Keys are a good reminder of what we probably all know but aren't practicing day-to-day.
The Keys start with the premise that "others form up to 90% of their opinion about you in the first four minutes and that 60% to 80% of the impact you will make is non-verbal." Lo and behold, #4 is all about the handshake!
Though this brief article is geared toward job-seekers on an interview, I think it applies equally to meeting someone in a work setting.
