Communicate Clearly, Especially in an International Environment
Effective communication is essential for success, particularly in today's globalized business world. When working with colleagues from different cultures, it's crucial to adapt your communication style to ensure understanding.
One key strategy is to simplify your language. Avoid complex jargon and technical terms that may be unfamiliar to others. Additionally, asking clarifying questions demonstrates your interest in understanding the other person's perspective.
Remember, effective communication is a two-way street. By being mindful of cultural differences and making an effort to connect with your audience, you can build stronger relationships and achieve better results.

Transcript:
If you're a manager in an international environment, it's very important to communicate simple and communicate in a way that the other people from different cultures understand where you come from especially if your native language is English.
There are a lot of people who are not getting what you're saying if you're using complicated words. Try to be as easy as possible. As well, if you're not native, it doesn't matter which language you're speaking, speak in a way that people understand you from a cultural background, but as well, using simple words so that other people get what you mean and make sure people understand you.
Ask questions, which a lot of people don't do, and then they wonder that people don't get what they're saying.
