A Handshake Primer
The handshake represents trust, sincerity, cooperation, agreement, courtesy, and friendship.With all of the things a handshake represents, it is worthwhile to make sure yours is a good one. Make it firm, but not bonecrushing. Grasp the full hand, not just the fingertips. Don't try to use a "cool" handshake in a professional setting, or when making a first impression. Look the other person in the eye when shaking their hand.
A good handshake may go unnoticed, but an ineffectual one will not. Now get out there and press some flesh ;)

I could not agree more!! When I taught high school I always worked this skill into my curriculum. A co-teacher and I (this was in an inclusion classroom) would discuss the etiquette of a handshake and practice with students.
This is a lost art - one that is so very important!!
