Think Strategy -- Create Your Headlines

I now pronounce you man and wife.  An illuminating phrase...a headline of sort that (most likely) shifted your thought.  No matter what you were (just) doing, an image popped...a smile was attached.  You thought about some aspect of a recent blissful event.  Not to mention the guy who drank too much.   Headlines create imagery – stimulate emotions – move individuals to action. 

Headlines are important.  Nothing more than an assembled string of words used as attention getting statements.  No matter the profession, it is necessary for you to create headlines.  In your emails, power points, sales calls or seminars, you will find that better headlines will often equal better bottom lines.  The ask, whatever it is, will be more compelling and garner more results. 

You are the driving force behind the headline.  Abe Lincoln once said “if I had six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four sharpening my axe.”  Be compelling – make sure your gift of delivery and draft is always at it’s best.  Yes I did say gift.  Never leave a client, customer, participant or peer wondering about your importance.   Wondering why you were chosen.  It’s Monday — add dimension – let’s keep it moving!
