What if you have a learning disability? Define "a social situation."

I just realized how remarkable it is that we have to learn to speak plain English again to be an effective communicator.

Pauses, processing topic. Dialogue, Room for discussion about topic. Fair. Fair, Fair enough. Key ideas. Key ideas, key ideas.

Much appreciated, I feel like I have strong thoughts that need to be heard, but I don't have the practice in expressing them the right way.

My reason for my long-windedness starts from my childhood my mother and brother didn’t believe anything I had to say. My answers included facts, other opinions, my opinions and reasonings. At 39, now I understand this and why I was always soo tired.

did u get it fixed? am 44 and am exactly like that, very long winded coming from a history of distrust.

Alex' advice about written and oral communication is invaluable. I use his videos frequently in my speech communication and public speaking classes.

This is by far one of my favorite videos. Alex, you are so clear while using all the tips contained within. I love it. Thank you again.

One of the most relevant communications training I have encountered online. Thank you Alex.

Your channel is probably one of the most Important channels I have come across please keep on doing what you do. Many of us don’t have great social skills and we need to grow in this area

Excellent advice. Communication is crucial for conversations with any audience. Practical information for all of us who struggle with proper, clear, and concise communication skills. Loved the helpful tips and strategies, too!

I'm super grateful for this lesson. Really appreciate it and wish you all the best with more great contents like this. Cheers.

Long winded girl here! Ugh, totally because I think it’s adding value, I need to reign it in! Embarrassed about literally every encounter I’ve ever had now.

There are so many videos about communications but only you speaking in a pace that I, a non-native speaker of English, can understand clearly. You really do what you taught.

Thank you for this Alex. I can absolutely use this at my work. Please make a video about giving constructive feedback and how to effectively talk with managers If you haven't done yet.

Even if you won't apply all this, whatching it allready prepares you for conversations. It generaly makes me feel better and gives me a sense of freedom when going somewhere, having the idea I'm 'prepared'.

I love and agree totally with your instructions. Perhaps this should be recommended for all public speakers. Thank you so much.

Wow! This is great! There is an internal aspect about communicating. So many things happen internally that cause people to talk the way they do. Excellent!

this lesson was actually concise and to the point. very rare for me to complete such tutorials but i just did. thanks.

I really like Mr Lyon's video. I saw it on AARP SCSEP Senior remote training while waiting for a PT assisgment with a non-profit. I have known for years I have some issues with this and know God has been helping me. Good thing about God He brings them back to me in another way when one way doesn't work. I know it's NOT about me and this hasn't been the problem. I am relizing I do not have to always be talking. I need to fill that nervousness or slientness with listening or thinking before I speak which God says in His word in Proverbs everywhere. He has been giving me His word and people like Mr Lyon to be open and Honest with me so I can communicate better with others, especially people in my church and around me from day to day. I know this is going to come in handy of how I repsent the Gospel as well. I really wish I could copy and paste these lessons as I can't write fast enough to get all he is saying so I will have to watch this over and over again. I thank God and I thank God for Mr Lyon and others who have been patient with me over the years and ask those who know me and may read this to forgive me as I never meant any harm. Blessings. Trust God No Matter What as He know what you need before you ask🥰

Dopamine RUSH feels really GOOD, INVIGORATING, THRILLING, ENJOYABLE, HAPPINESS, SHARING MY KNOWLEDGE & EXPERTISE!!! CONFIDENCE POWERS, STRENGTH TO SUCCEED. LONG WINDEDNESS JOY!!!

@@alexanderlyon California politicians and lobbyists really need you. In Calif, people think they have to repeat every statement three times, exactly the same way. They think listeners are ignorant. There is little depth, often, a lot of deception and manipulation and distortion in their messages.

This is excellent, Alex! Long-winded and disorganized thought tendencies are my weaker points. Keep up the good tip videos

Thank you, Alex. After watching this in one go (hooked), I realize why I suck at communication. I am guilty of most of the mistakes mentioned here. I am not a native speaker yet I possess extremely good vocabulary however I stumble when I do presentations, I'm long winded and I do fillers like mad. I think insecurity is one root cause for long windedness no doubt, also relevant is the fear of sounding impolite. It is a delicate balance being concise but not being disrespectful especially when presenting to senior management. In any case your point is very valid but needs lots and lots of practice. Also it would be nice if we had the takeaways listed somewhere too for easy reference. Also don't worry about some of the negative feedback out here, you're doing a great job. Cheers.

Really an excellent session. Very very useful. Thank you so much

The main reason people say Um and Ah is to stop others from interrupting them before they've finished. When I cut these words from my sentences and had my pauses at the ends of my sentences, people would butt in before I was ready. But there are people in my family whose pauses are only ever in the middle of a sentence and you can never get a word in. It's a tactic they use to dominate the conversation and turn it into a monologue.

Thank you so much for the video- these really helped!

Great presentation. Thank you! One point: smiling. "confident people smile" 41:50. I can think of a lot of very powerful leaders/speakers who don't smile, yet, convey very powerful messages. Not saying they particularly look "friendly," but they sure do sound confident when they speak, even though the last thing you'll see is them smiling.

@alexanderlyon

3 жыл бұрын

Good point, Rodrigo. I've seen that too. Looking powerful is not the same as looking confident, especially in a semi-social situation. Powerful, intimidating, etc., that's another thing. Plus, the research does show that (even though some people don't do it) smiling makes us look more confident, intelligent, etc. There are exceptions to the rule but I usually go with the research unless there's a great reason not to. But, your point is well taken.

Thank you so much for these helpful videos.

Thank you Alex. This video is really helpful. As a pre-service teacher, my mentor told me me that I need to speak more concisely. I’ve learnt a lot from this video.

Sometimes, I think it's about deciding beforehand to say it concisely and stop talking. Just put a period at the end and pause really clearly and just commit to ending our talking turn.

Excelente amigo! Saludos. Me servirán tus consejos para mis entrevistas y juntas de trabajo. Thank your for sharing it to all of us. Regards.

Absolutely true, coaches should be watching this

Great course! I just thought that a great way to cure the uptalk in Eglish-speakers would be learning a bit of Russian (which would be really brave in the circumstances)) But what I struggle the most being a speech couch for Russian speakers and actors is the "downtalk", i.e. dropping the tone very hard in the end of each chunk of the phrase, even before commas. It's just the core of our phonetics)

I am 37 and I was diagnosed with ADHD 3 years ago. I struggle with being concise. My doctor of 25 years said, "I've known that since you were a kid," but he never referred me to a specialist. This problem has ruined my career because of poor time management. I produce solid work but then I fail in other areas because there's no time left. If I can get past this stumbling block, it will change my life. See? Long post. 😭

Thank you so much! Just listened to your courses training: you are amazing :)

Effective communication is the key to success. Businesses need to train their employees, especially customer service agents, in effective communication skills and use advanced communication systems like VoIP. This video is very informative in this aspect.

I started working for a large, very "corporate" company not long ago. It was interesting to realize that most of the employees there have a communications degree (I studied science). I've noticed some of the techniques you mention. Your video will help me climb the ladder while I'm there haha.
