Fish Handshake
This is considered as a limp handshake and can be detrimental during any kind of business deals or business negotiations. It shows that the person lacks energy and enthusiasm. It gives other person the feeling of holding a dead fish rather than a person's hand. This depicts low-self esteem and no confidence at all.
The Southpaw
The other name for the Southpaw is the Lefty. This type of handshake is a strict no-no unless your right hand has been injured.
Giving a handshake with the
left hand is considered uncouth in business situations. It gives an expression
of disrespect in many countries.

Denominator
This type of handshake involves the use of a downward turned palm where the person with an intention or not turns the wrist of the other person downwards. It literally says, "I am more powerful than you."
This type of handshake involves the use of a downward turned palm where the person with an intention or not turns the wrist of the other person downwards. It literally says, "I am more powerful than you."
The problem with this type of handshake is that even if the person has an innocuous intention, the other person can get offended. This can affect your business deal negatively.
Hence, while you offer a handshake make sure you don’t twist the other person’s hand downwards!

The types of handshakes considered perfect in the business world are-
The Appropriate Handshake
- Maintain a pleasant eye contact with the other person. Don't look below at the hand while you offer a shake.
- Give a pleasant expression-it shouldn't be stiff or show over-eagerness
- Close your fingers around other person's hand. Your thumb should rest to the side. Grip with a slight firm giving gentle pumps (usually two) as you raise the hand slightly up & down for a shake.
- Release the hand after 3-4 seconds
The Body Posture-
Stand firm and extend the
right hand straight out towards the front of your body. Give a slight bent to your
elbow with your thumb pointing towards the ceiling. Lean forward slightly if
there's space. However, don't lean so much that your faces are uncomfortable
close!
This type of handshake is considered perfect across many countries and during any kind of business situation.
The Shug
The Shug is also known as “Half shake-half hug”. This type of handshake is considered incredibly versatile and flexible. It conveys the person's masculinity with an essence of affection and openness. It's a reserved kind of handshake but truly expressive in a comfortable manner.

ReplyDeleteUnlike the Slot Machine, the pay outs of the Fortune Telling Machine are unaffected by playing in} on Hard Mode. “Slot win is on this torrid tempo,” says Michael Lawton, a senior research analyst for 정카지노 the Nevada Gaming Control Board. One-armed bandits generated $9.2 billion final yr across the Silver State—another record for Nevada and a 16.4% enhance over $7.9 billion slots reaped in 2019. Between 2010 and 2019, slots accounted for sixty three.3% of total state win. So the onus will be on on line casino security personnel to maintain an eye peeled for the scam’s small tells.
