He talks about bad handshakes but then demonstrates one himself.
The hand should come up from below, as the arm is hanging at your side.
If both people bring their hands up from hanging at their side, then the hands naturally come together.
His hand comes down from above and his elbow is lifted and a long way from his body.
There’s a guy on UK TV who does this all the time. It is painful to watch. His elbow is lifted and comes out to the side and his hand comes down like it is diving into water at 45 degrees. How anyone is supposed to properly grip his had for a shake beats me.
(Jay Blades, The Repair Shop, I’m looking at you.)
ETA And he seems ti think there is a word ‘hierarchal’ (it’s hierarchical) and when he talks about throat clearing there are some shots of Theresa May - that was a famous episode when she clearly had a cough, or frog in her throat or a little choke, that went on for a new minutes. It was NOT an example of throat-clearing prefacing something unpleasant having to be said or some discomfort (even if she was very uncomfortable at the time).
It all seems a bit hit and miss. Some of it is fine, some of it is badly illustrated or too simplistically explained or too general.
