This month’s issue of entrepreneur features an article on properly walking into a room full of professionals. It addresses issues such as shaking hands (how many?), business cards (when to hand them out), eye contact (how much is good enough?), among. The online and iPad versions of the article even have a fun little video with animated diagrams of these “rules” (but feel free to mute your speakers as the cheesy classical music can get annoying).
Regardless of whether you’re an extrovert or someone who likes to take it all in first and process it to themselves, this is an article young professionals ought to read for its simple, easy-to-follow tips. As a natural introvert myself, I know I’ll keep those tips handy.
