ABSTRACT

Greetings and goodbyes are socially influential moments. A successful greeting can engage others to want to grow connections in the future with us. Similarly, a great goodbye delivers precious positive social feedback to improve prospects to reconnect later. Yet, there are a number of basic sub-skills, each requiring some precision, that make or break greetings and goodbyes. As this lesson is the final in the series, it is fitting to highlight the importance of a great goodbye through direct teaching, role-plays and games.
