• Palm Up— Conveys openness, service, humility, and sympathy.
• Palm Down—Demonstrates authority, superiority, and control.
• Palm Vertical—Shows you are meeting on equal terms with a mutually respectful greeting.
• Palm Wet, Cold, or Clammy—Ick! The "dead fish" is creepy. Make your hands warm and dry before reaching out to touch someone, please! It can also be conveyed as being nervous or over-excited.
• Palm Perfect—This is my favorite. Better known as the "hand hug." While you are shaking hands with your right hand, place your left hand on top, wrapping both people in warmth and trust. This two-handed shake illustrates affection, caring, or concern, especially when you then reach up to grasp their arm or shoulder.”
