For those who feel their handshaking ability may be lacking, Holland offers these tips:
- Business is gender neutral. Don’t wait for a woman to extend her hand or vice versa.
- A good handshake results in full contact. Don’t just grab the tips of someone’s fingers. It sends a condescending message to women “not to hurt the little lady.”
- Make sure your handshake has good strength but not bone crushing. The hands should make “web-to-web” contact — the area where the index finger and thumb are joined — and give two to three pumps.
“It’s a little bit like a kiss,” Holland says. “You know when it’s over.”
