[@kathyyuan4666]

You are totally right. Here’s why 1. All of your videos are straight to the point, without useless info. 2. Your tips on interviews are so effective that now I landed a job at Amazon. 3. Also learned a ton from your GTD and productivity videos Thank you for treating our time respectfully and providing us with valuable content. Hope you get 1M subscribers soon!!!

Glad you're adopting the principles right away Kathy!!

Wow a perfect comment sumarising how I have felt with each video ever since I discovered Jeff's channel a few days ago. Thank you so much Mr Jeff, your content is invaluable! ❤️

[@jenmerkel9792]

Jeff’s videos are SUPER quick, actionable, relatable, and funny 😄 !

[@mohansasankamuthyala3556]

I used to say this to my team mates. If you write an email with roughly 20000 words, people cannot read and going forward, they can think that when they get time, they can read the email. Again, make the same with points and crisp to what you wanna say, there it goes. So, thanks a lot Jeff you made my day again..

[@JeffSu]

Awesome, couldn't agree more Mohan!

[@Matt_7896]

Thank you for this! Been writing lengthy emails since I started work last year! Such a lifesaver!

[@JeffSu]

You're welcome Matthew, glad found some value from this video :)

[@DataProfessor]

Wow, that's a great tip Jeff, and you did a great job explaining this. I also like to reiterate the question of the person asking again in order to phrase it in my own words which also buys me extra time to make sure that I am understanding the question being asked directly from the person asking.

[@JeffSu]

Yes exactly! Helpful both during interviews and at work! Thanks for the comment!!

Great video. Just today, I sat through a good, detailed and thorough presentation with forty people online. Twenty minutes later, it turned out that the audience was not the right one to take the decision the presenter wanted. Your method would have made it obvious from the start. Thank you.

[@iantoughts]

I don't know how but I always do this every time I gave an update to my supervisor. I do this when my colleague couldn't give us the exact status of a project. I helped him to construct his information by doing this strategy.

[@JeffSu]

That's great! I'm sure your supervisor is very appreciative of this fact 😁

[@shynessbreakthroughcommuni826]

Love this Bottom Line UpFront way of communication! Certainly, there is a cultural component that takes awhile to overcome but being more direct will improve communication at work whether in business or medicine (or any type of business for that matter)!

[@JeffSu]

Yes, agreed! Thanks for the input!!

[@jesnajames2151]

Absolutely love your content, but what struck me most is that you offer a sneak peek into the topic before asking for likes and subscriptions. That's a great way to appreciate the viewers' time. Usually, KZbinrs say "like, share and subscribe" at the beginning of the video and it puts a lot of viewers off. But I personally dont mind your way😜 Such a smart and simple thing to do!!

[@JeffSu]

Glad someone noticed 😁, thank you Jesna!

Most important to turn around your communication game. It changed my perception from others' point of view when I started applying it this year in all my work communications. I crunch a lot of numbers and summarise them all the time for what they mean. And this tip is a game-changer.

Your content is amazing, really helpful. Thank you

[@Ebenenstil]

Thanks for the great video. I'm very enthusiastic about the system of structuring emails in such a way that the most important information is directly visible. I've been working for a city government for a few months and I'm digging through pages of emails where the context is hidden and no one can figure out who should do what now. Recently I've been writing my emails using the new system and the feedback has been amazing. Departments respond faster and more purposefully and I have already been able to convey my new system to several colleagues. In addition to the Zero Inbox, the new form of email writing is something that has greatly improved my everyday work. I still fiddle with myself here and there and figure out how to apply the concept to some emails, but the majority of emails where I want something from someone else are structured this way.

[@JeffSu]

That's AWESOME to hear my friend! It must feel great for you to make a difference in your city government!!
