It’s just a touch, but<br />

every h<strong>and</strong>shake sends<br />

a powerful message.<br />

business exchanges. You’ll notice th<strong>at</strong> in a classic, ceremonial<br />

h<strong>and</strong>shake, people usually st<strong>and</strong> about two feet apart <strong>and</strong> extend<br />

their arms. As a rel<strong>at</strong>ionship develops, you’ll see the h<strong>and</strong>shake<br />

last longer <strong>and</strong> the distance between the participants close by<br />

several inches, causing their arms to bend more <strong>at</strong> the elbows.
