Description
Author(s)

“The best ways to achieve one's goal continue to be the simplest: The handshake; holding up children; listening accompanied by the attentive 'mmh' and 'aha'; relaxed speech combined with the expansive gesture for the purposes of underscoring that which is said; answering questions by using uncomplicated words; the slapping of the shoulder (with and without praise); eye contact.”
—Gila Lustiger, The Ashe Encyclopedia
