How to Write an Email That Your Overseas Colleague Actually Understands

from Workplace Communication with Fexingo: Slack, Email, Meetings, and Professional Writing · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna tackle a common but overlooked workplace problem: writing emails that work across cultures and time zones. Using a real example from a UK-Japan project, they break down why plain English, explicit context, and structured requests matter more than ever in global teams. Lucas shares a three-part framework for writing emails that land clearly whether your reader is in Bangalore, Berlin, or Boston. Luna pushes back on whether this is just common sense—and Lucas explains why it's rarely practiced. If you've ever sent an email that was misinterpreted or ignored by a colleague in another country, this episode will give you a repeatable fix. #CrossCulturalCommunication #GlobalTeams #EmailEtiquette #WorkplaceWriting #RemoteWork #BusinessCommunication #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #PlainEnglish #ContextMatters #TimeZones #ProfessionalWriting #EmailTips #ClearCommunication #InternationalBusiness #WorkplaceProductivity Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
