Three Phases To Email Sensitivity
By Catherine Franz, Thu Dec 8th

The neurophysiological dynamics of understanding each emailmessage is very complex. From that complexity, three basicphases float to the top that you will want to become familiarwith. I'd like to label these: (1) the association phase, (2)the connection phase, and (3) the reaction phase. Let us look ateach of them and discover how the writer and reader can assume amore active role.

In the Association Phase, the sender’s words are read andconverted to an image in the reader’s mind, optimally it shouldbe the same image the writer held in his mind. Sometimes, thewriter’s words lack enough information and the recipient cannotgrasp the image. The word count has nothing to do with thecreation of an image. I have read long emails that dance aroundany possibility of creating an image even if the recipient couldread between the lines.

The first question I ask myself when receiving an email is: "Iswhat they are saying giving me enough information so I can forma clear image?" If not, I ask, "Am I in an open space at themoment to translate this image?" Sometimes, when pressed fortime or there’s too many thoughts swirling in my head, the spaceisn't available. If not in the right space, I move the email toa "to be read later" subfolder, and schedule a follow-up time toreread.


Later, after returning, and in a good space to reread, and theimage is still not appearing, I send a reply email to the senderasking for clarity. My language usually goes something likethis: "Thank you for your email. I have read it several timesand can't seem to form a clear image of what you are asking.Could you please ask again in a different way so that I can giveit my full attention and the respect it deserves?"

If the email covers ... article continues below the ad.

Tip: A block that has a series of rectangular strips that are placed around a central square.
several subjects that are confusinglyintermixed, I will also include some additional language likethis: "When I write emails with various topics, I find itbeneficial to create separate topic titles that focus on whatcomes next. Could you possibly do this to add to the clarity?"

It is the sender’s responsibility to convert their image intowords. They should have the right words that the reader cantransform back into the same image given. Don't take on thewriter’s responsibility,or make assumptions, it only leads tomiscommunication. If you do, the image they form of you will beoff kilter and negative.

The Connection Phase. When writing your response, you will wantto make sure that the reader receives a clear image of what youare sending as well.

This means that your words need to match the return image youwant to convey. If the topic is about apples, you do not want toadd an orange in the middle of the apple image. Match apples toapples first because that was responding to the original image.

If you need to add an orange for topic support, place theinformation after the apple discussion so as not to distort theoriginal image. This lets the receiver digest the apple and thentells them that another image is about to come. Their mind willprepare the space for the new image. When offering the orange,tell them the purpose of the orange and why you are adding theimage. This way the reader knows how to open a new file.

Another question I like to ask myself, after writing and beforesending, one you might like to use, "Will the reader be able tofile the image I'm sending in the same folder they began with?"

Our brains file information just as if we were dropping files ina filing cabinet manner.

Instead of just telling the reader, show the reader the image,and what folder to tuck their image in. The reader is expectingthis answer. If they don't receive it, they wonder what to dowith the image, it doesn't match any file in their cabinet. Thissplits their focus, slows down their

connection, or can even halt the connection in toto.

I am sure you have your own favorite topic transition phrases;here are seven of my own. When you give these transition phrasesa line of their own, the receiver’s brain acts quickly to notean orange is coming.

1. Let me guess what you might be thinking.

2. As odd (unusual) as it may seem...

3. I am not at all surprised.

4. There’s a story that goes with this, and I will get to thisin the next paragraph.

5. Let me see if I can make this a little easier.

6. Its hard to believe, but...

7. In other words,...

The Reaction Phase. Writing an email response is not the same asspeaking to that person. You don't have the immediate feedbackfrom their body language, their silence, or huh, when it isn'tclear. Connecting via email with its time lapse also causesdifficulty. You experience the same thing when you call, leavinga voice mail, and the party returns your call days later. If youdon't state in the voice mail what you are calling about, or theperson doesn't restate the purpose when they call back, yourmind takes moments looking for the appropriate filing cabinetand file. Sometimes I receive a response back several weekslater and the original email I wrote isn't included. Then I muststop to think or even hunt for the original email; a very timeconsuming process.

I find it best to begin a returning response with a "this iswhere we left off" paragraph. Don't assume the reader stillholds the previous image in their mind. They don't. Many imagescame and went during that space and the previous email sits intheir inbox, file folder, or cabinet or worse dismissed due tolack of connection, in order to continue their processes.

It is important to reread the email before hitting send. Notjust for grammar or spelling but to see that you convey theright image. It is the time to ask, "Did I convey theappropriate image with a file folder connection?" If yes, thenhit "send".
