National Handshake Day
Posted on by dmartignetti

This holiday was created by Miryam Roddy in 2005. He was a professional development coach who always said that the handshake is one of the keys to a great first impression and long-lasting professional and personal relationships. Since then, this holiday has taken on a life of its own and is celebrated by people all over the world.
