đ¤ Todayâs tip: Give your email a more human opening line.
Crafting an email that sets just the right toneâââwarm but not prying, direct but not curtâââis an art in even the best of times. And especially now, when everyoneâs stretched thin and wound tight, you donât want to come off sounding like an all-business robot.
One way to convey empathy via email is by starting your message with a recognition of humanity. The communication gurus at Grammarly recently tweeted a few opening-line suggestions:
âI appreciate you taking the time to read this email.ââI wanted to let you know Iâve been thinking about you.ââFirst and foremost, how are you?â
A little emotional validation goes a long way. After all, weâre in this together.
