Learn to
communicate diplomatically
with a handshake anywhere you go
In this "handy" new guide, The Protocol School of Washington® presents the etiquette for shaking hands worldwide. From the forthright All-American to the lingering Brazilian with air kisses to the French cool-light-and-brief and the formal Japanese bow - more than 40 handshakes are described. You'll learn how culture-based interaction, like handshaking, can profoundly affect the outcome of a business transaction anywhere on the globe.
Back in the U.S., The Power of Handshaking explores the psychology behind twelve basic handshakes to help you better understand your client or colleague and know how to communicate with him or her, more skillfully. Master the always-appropriate All-American with its eye contact, smile, firm grip, and two or three strokes, and the more intimate Lingering. Then discover the meaning behind the Push-Off, Pull-In, Two-Handed, Topper, Finger Squeeze, Palm Pinch, Twister, Royal, Water Pump, and Dead Fish and how to stay balanced in your dealings. The Power of Handshaking promises you'll never walk away from a greeting empty-handed.

The
Power of Handshaking, reviewed in the Washington Business Journal
by Lucy Webb, January 14, 2005
"This
book's effect is to make you very, very aware of your own handshake....It
is an entertaining read that raises good points about the first impression
made by grabbing and pumping a stranger's hand. It includes chapters
on handshake history and etiquette, tactics for fixing someone else's bad
handshake and 'Handshakes Around the World'"
The Power of Handshaking, reviewed by The Associated Press
This review appeared in newspapers worldwide, January 11, 2005
A handshake tells people many different aspects about you, according to "The Power of Handshaking" by Robert Brown and Dorothea Johnson. A few tips from the book, which details a dozen different sorts of handshakes.
-
Offer a dry hand. Clammy hands covey nerves or tension.
-
Engage the full hand. Touch palms firmly, but not to a crushing degree.
-
Pause. This is "the key ingredient of a successful handshake," Brown and Johnson write. Focus on this moment, and be the last party to end the shake.
-
Observe. Is the person pulling or pushing you away? Are they twisting your arm? Is the hand damp, lifeless, shaking vigorously, warm, or cold?
-
Remember. After your meeting, analyze the handshake. You most likely drew a number of impressions about the person, and your unconscious drew even more. You are likely to know far more about this person than you would have believed.
The following newspapers published articles about The Power of
Handshaking from The Associates Press and the Orlando Sentinel.
