Session 5 (cont.)

Also during session 5 we worked on the importance of a good handshake. We practiced what makes a good handshake and how to avoid the bad ones. You always shake hands with your right hand and you use your thumb as a stopper as to not shake to far up the arm. An example of a bad handshake would be, I am sure all of can remember a time when we shook someones hand and their palms were all sweaty, this is very unpleasant. So if you tend to have sweaty palms you should always carry tissues with you, and right before you are going to shake someones hand, wipe your hand off. This is just one example of the many different kind of handshakes. I must say all of our youth have great handshakes, very firm, not too hard not too soft. I also showed them this short clip about how different cultures are different in their greeting styles.
