When you think of Mike Pence, you don't necessarily think of the term "power
moves." I've commented before that a lot of times in meetings, he actually looks
like a gentleman who is 50% into rigor mortis because he is so not animated and
oftentimes passive next to Donald Trump but in this video we're gonna see a clip
where Prince Charles snubs him he's going down the line shaking hands and he
looks him in the eye and ignores him so we're gonna watch this clip but then I'm
gonna go back and show you what I think could have been improved and what I
think he did well and handling the situation and it may surprise you though
I think he does mostly well this is a tough situation have you ever been in a
group of people or someone completely snubs you in in addition to that it's on
national cameras at a huge event so let's watch this clip that I'll jump
back on it we'll break it down
alright here's what really happened he's going down the line look at him right
now you can see right here his hand isn't out and look at the look on his
face it cracks me up somebody reminds me of Pinocchio I don't
know why but um he doesn't put his hand out right away so clearly he's expound
is between these guys but clearly he's expecting there's a good chance to print
Charles won't shake his hand and he doesn't put his out either so it's kind
of like when I was watching this in the news everyone made it seem like Prince
Charles completely snubbed him but pence isn't hanging out there with his hand
waiting for a response it's kind of like a duel who will pull first and no one
does so you see right here he never even uncrossed his hands so I'm not even so
sure whose idea was not to shake what if pence would have put his hand out to
shake would it Prince Charles shaking his hand I don't know I got to think
there's a decent chance he would have but once again I don't really know the
backstory about him but here's what I like Pence is known to be a more passive
guy but what he does here just to show a little authority watch him right now
right there pat on the back anytime you're patting someone
it shows physical authority over them think of a boss or someone higher status
a father going up to a son patting him on the back that's a sign of higher
status for a lot of reasons but one is just showing that you're comfortable
putting your hands on somebody else right it's a sign I'm not scared of you
yeah I'm gonna Pat you especially after a strange stalemate handshake like that
we're neither one of them shook hands so he's kind of like almost in a
condescending Pat that really surprised me I did not expect to see that out of
pence so when we're looking at what really happened here after seeing that
what do you think what comes in your mind I really don't know I just know the
two of them probably don't like each other and neither one of them wanted to
be the first one to put their hand out when the other one didn't put the hand
out who knows if either one of them had intentions to not shake the other ones
hand and make a scene this is a global platform or if they both would have
shaken hands I don't know but I don't think this is necessarily any more of a
snub from Prince Charles than it is from pence and I
think that Pence's reaction is really as good as it gets
what's the worst thing pence could have done or Prince Charles could have done
now that we're looking at it this other perspective get emotionally reactive act
like there's stuff oh so rude like make a face or something like that just like
pence and just like Prince Charles very cool no motion reaction not a big deal
anytime someone shows an emotional reaction to someone else it shows that
they feel like they have higher status in them it lowers your status when you
show especially negative emotional reactions so remember that if you're
ever in a situation like this handle it like pence don't show an emotion or
action if you want to be you know if you feel real confident you can go ahead and
Pat them on the back it's almost a bit of a condescending move and go along
just like nothing else happened now if when you go out in social situations in
general if you don't necessarily feel very comfortable you don't know how to
go up and start a conversation and keep it going I've got another youtube video
you can touch or click right here and I'll teach you how you can feel
confident when you're out and how to start and keep an interesting
conversation going you can touch your click right here and I'll talk to you
there now
