Master it, and you've mastered the art of the first impression. It's the little things that make a big difference. So, go out there and shake some hands - the right way!.

So remember, a handshake is not just a handshake. It's a power play. It's a display of confidence. It's a conversation starter.

Take it from my old man. He's a pro at this. He stops short and sticks his hand out, and voila!. He's got the upper hand - literally.

Think about it. If you stick your hand out first, the other person has to come to you. That puts you in the driver's seat. You call the shots.

Now let's talk about control. Ever thought about who's in control during a handshake?. Here's a secret - it's all about who extends their hand first.

Avoid the common pitfall of coming in too soon. Don't just grab the fingers. That's a rookie mistake. You want to show confidence, not awkwardness.

Then, wrap your fingers around for a firm grip. This isn't just a casual high-five. Be sure to make eye contact with the other person. This conveys confidence, respect, and genuine interest in the other person and can set a positive tone for the interaction.

First things first, the connection. You always start with the "web-to-web" contact. This is where the area between the thumb and forefinger of one person's hand meets the same area on the other person's hand, creating a firm and confident grip.

Don't listen to the naysayers. They are just small distractions on your journey.

Best piece of advice I ever got? . @KellyHrudey told me once when I was younger to, "always listen respectfully to advice people share with you but remember to ALWAYS consider the source".
