    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.

    @phoebexxlouise Год назад +2

    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.

    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🥰

    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.
