Transform Your Email Program into a Cosy Corner
Email writing that connects
Imagine your email program not as a cold waiting room with stiff chairs - but as the cosy corner of a favourite café, where you kick off your shoes and settle in.
Picture this:
A warm lamp glows softly in the corner. No blinding chandelier over your head.
A comfortable armchair invites you in. Not a row of rigid seats telling you where to sit.
The scent in the air? Fresh coffee. Not the stale anxiety of “carbon copy” formalities.
That’s the power of writing emails that feel personal, natural and real.
Ditch the stiffness
“Please be informed that…” builds walls.
Try: “Just a quick note to let you know…”
The same message, but much more human.
Add emotion, not just information
Instead of: “I’m reaching out regarding…”
Try: “I noticed we haven’t connected in a week. I’ve missed your insights.”
See the difference? That message connects.
Cut through the noise
Keep it clear.
Respect your reader’s time.
Guide the next step: “Let’s hop on a 10-minute call tomorrow. Does 11 work?”
Reframe your mindset about email
From: “I’m drowning in messages.”
To: “My inbox is where action begins.”
From: “I need to sound professional.”
To: “Professional means being clear and kind.”
Write like a human
Say “Can you join us?” instead of “We would like to invite you.”
End with a clear next step. Not just “Best regards.”
Use bullet points to make your message easier to scan.
Confident & Practical
If your emails feel clear, kind and human, you're already ahead.
So take a deep breath, skip the stiff intros - and just write like you speak.
Chances are, people will write back.
