How To Give a Good Handshake
Making a confident and committed handshake can be a great way to leave a positive and lasting impression. Here are some tips for giving a memorable handshake:
- Make eye contact: Before extending your hand make sure to establish eye contact. This shows that you are confident and interested in the person you are meeting.
- Use a committed and firm grip: A firm handshake conveys confidence and professionalism. However, be careful not to grasp too tight, as this can come across as too forward or aggressive.
- Shake from the elbow: When shaking hands, move your hand up and down from the elbow rather than the wrist, or entire arm from the shoulder. This creates a more natural and fluid motion.
- Use the appropriate duration: In general, a handshake should last for about 3-5 seconds. Be careful not to hold on for too long, as this can make the other person feel uncomfortable.
- Add a personal touch: Consider adding a personal touch by repeating the persons name when they share it with you. Example: Terry, nice to meet you.
Remember, a confident and memorable handshake is all about making a genuine connection and leaving a positive impression on the person you are meeting.

What Patricia's Clients are Saying:
“Patricia brought into a fruition a vision for Inclusive Student Excellence at UNC. The experience was once-in-a-lifetime for many students and still is a hot topic for conversation. Patricia was the perfect inaugural keynote speaker for our College to Corporate program!”
“I thought it was very valuable. Though you cannot possibly take away everything, I think there were some key takeaways that I will certainly roll into my daily life. Inspire would be a great venue for her, because she would be especially “inspiring” to women and they would enjoy interacting with her and hearing her story in general. A speaker like Patricia is invaluable and something I took as a privilege to sit through.

The positive feedback just keeps coming in! You inspired me and our group to think and act differently in the way we approach networking in social situations. I look forward to reading your current and future books. I truly hope our paths will cross again in the not too distant future.”
