@howtoconvince: “I hope this finds you well” is the fastest way to get ignored. Say this instead and actually get a reply 🤝 #communicationtips #emailetiquette #confidencecoach #professionalgrowth #clarityiskey
“I had a dream about your dog last night, and frankly, I think we need to talk.”

I disagree. It’s relationships before tasks. NEVER start a conversation with business first. It’s a turn off.

"Hope things are well!" is not fluff and I intentionally open with that sincerity.

Teaching people to not be polite is not great, at all.

Depending on your workplace, starting with warmth is powerful. Skipping phrases like this is like walking up to someone and just starting to talk instead of saying hello, how’s it going…. Efficient, yes. Chances of being seen as rude, much higher.

In daily interactions, we often say things like ‘How are you doing today?’ Not because we expect a deep answer, but as a basic courtesy. ‘Hope this email finds you well’ serves the same purpose. It’s not about weakness, just a polite way to start a message.

I respect your opinion, but disagree. I will continue to ask if the person I am in communication is well.

Just go straight in with what you want to ask - and never use ‘reach out’
