PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. â There is a right way and a wrong way to shake hands, according to Sherry Thomas, the president of Palm Beach Etiquette. We as Americans only have one or two standard styles of greeting, she said.
Thomas is now consulting with businesses about the so-called greeting gray area that exists now. What I am seeing in companies is there is no standard, she said. I do have people call me a lot and ask my opinion on how I feel about it, and I do think it is individual.
