Have you ever received an email that you know has the answers you need in it but its paragraph. After paragraph. After paragraph…

In a world of information overload, stand out by speaking ABOVE the fold.

Basically, it means to speak in terms of a “headline" to grab attention and deliver it home 🏃🏻‍♀️.

In my emails I like to have a TLDR (too long, didn’t read) section with the headlines, then I use the headlines below with additional details below if someone wants or needs more than the headline. 

Let’s dive into some examples:

Transform complex project updates:

❌ "the team spent the last three days streamlining our workflow and reducing bottlenecks."

✅ "Workflow Revamped: 30% Faster, Bottleneck-Free"

Celebrate wins and achievements:

❌ "We successfully completed the project and met our targets."

✅ "Project Success: X Target Hit Y Days Ahead of Schedule"

Distill complicated concepts:

❌ "Our goal is to optimize the user experience to increase engagement."

✅ "Project X Target: Boost User Experience by Y%"

Give clear feedback:

❌ "Your report was good, but there's room for improvement."

✅ "Solid Report. Elevate Data Analysis for Bigger Impact."

Summarize meetings and calls with a clear target:

❌ "We discussed several topics and assigned new tasks see notes for details [link to somewhere else]."

✅ "XYZ Decision Made, New Goals Set for X”

Bonus: Summary meeting notes as follows:

Action Items

• Action Item - Assignee - Due date

Decisions needed

• [Decision Maker] - decision summary - decision due date

Discussion summary 

• Summary headline of each discussion point

💡Cut the clutter. Deliver what matters. Make headlines.
