Use your hands to communicate effectively

Instructions

Perform handshake correctly.
Understand that a handshake serves as a significant initial impression. Approach it with confidence, maintain a firm grip, and hold it for a few seconds to establish a genuine connection.
Avoid finger-pointing and excessive grooming behaviors.
Refrain from pointing fingers when interacting with family, colleagues, or anyone else, as it can be seen as confrontational. Likewise, be mindful of excessive grooming or preening actions, as they may create negative perceptions.
Pay attention to the physical appearance of others' hands.
Observe the physical appearance of others' hands to gain insights into their work, activities, and self-care practices. Hands can provide valuable clues about individuals' lifestyles, professions, and adherence to social conventions. For example, calloused hands may indicate physical labor or manual work, while well-groomed hands may suggest a more office-based profession.
** Respect cultural differences.**
Foster an attitude of acceptance and appreciation for cultural differences. Understand that greetings and physical contact may vary across cultures, such as a weaker handshake or alternative forms of greeting. By respecting and adapting to diverse cultural practices, we can foster better understanding and meaningful connections with others.
