Wasn't sure if it was cold or allergy, but it made several 'first meetings' very awkward. However, working in a healthcare setting, I had to err on the health and welfare of my new acquaintances. What I did learn along the way is how to most graciously express warmth and gratitude without touch by using tone of voice and facial expressions. A great exercise and a most appreciated one as well!
