Soft hands are more memorable than the best manicure, in my opinion, so it’s important to establish a hand care routine to ensure your hands are prepped and ready for whatever meeting comes their way. Before we get to the bare essentials of the person across from us, we get a feel for the kind of attention they pay to their hands. The ritual of applying a hand cream as the last thing I do for myself before bed grounds me, even on the nights before big events, and leaves my hands ready for any shakes that will come their way.
Outside of a proper handshake and handcare routine, there are a few things you can do to make the interaction as smooth as possible. Repeating someone’s name in the first few minutes of interaction helps you remember it and makes them feel seen. And smile, obviously. Who knows what might come from the connection?
