When two energetic, powerful people meet, a handshake turns into a kind of power game. Everyone wants to transfer the hand of the interlocutor in a subordinate position. As a result, both hands remain upright, which immediately creates an atmosphere of equality and mutual respect. In such circumstances, the interlocutors are not inferior to each other.

How to create an atmosphere of trust

If you want to create an atmosphere of trust with the help of a handshake, you need to take two aspects into account. First, make sure that both your palm and the palm of your interlocutor are in an upright position, that is, that none of the participants in the conversation occupy a dominant or submissive position. Secondly, shake the hand of the interlocutor with the same force as he. Let's determine the grip strength on a scale of 1 to 10. If you shake a hand with a force of 7 and your interlocutor is only 5, you need to loosen your grip by 20%. If the interlocutor shakes his hand with a force of 9, and you - only 7, you need to strengthen the handshake. When meeting with a large group of people, you must correctly evaluate the strength of each handshake and respond accordingly. Only in this way can you establish an atmosphere of trust and equality with all those present. Remember that the average man is about twice as strong as the average woman. In the process of evolution, the force of the pressure of the male hand reached 45 kg, which manifests itself during such actions as shaking, carrying weights, tearing, throwing and hitting.
Remember that a handshake is a gesture of greeting, farewell or a deal, therefore it should always be warm, friendly and positive.
