Question

What are three guidelines for online meetings with international partners?
1. prepare for brief social chat
2. dress professionally
3. speak clearly
4. use professional jargon

Answer 1

Pick 1, 2 and 3.

- Prepare for a brief social chat — start with a short, polite personal exchange to build rapport and respect cultural expectations.
- Dress professionally — appearance signals respect and credibility even on video.
- Speak clearly — moderate your pace, enunciate, avoid slang and idioms, and pause to let nonnative speakers follow.

Avoid #4: using heavy professional jargon can confuse international partners; use plain language or briefly explain necessary terms.
