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.
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
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.
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!
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🥰
You are an Answered Prayer, I have been praying to find a video that can help me in these specific areas, I have struggled with these areas all my life. (47 yr) YOU'RE writing and your video was suggested on my feed. I AM BEYOND THANKFUL!!!! THANK YOU FOR TAKING PART OF YOUR TIME TO POST THESE VIDEOS...!! Thank you!!!!
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.
Hi, Zero Zuba. Thanks for offering details on your habits. I'm glad the videos are helpful. You're on the road now and you'll get better as you practice.
I think higher education might also be partially to blame. Having to write long winded dissertations with a minimum number of words conditioned me to fill up my talks with unnecessary words so I would meet the minimum word count requirement.
@@alexanderlyon Toastmasters is often used by non-native speakers who strive for excellence. Many Californians automatically repeat the same statement three times. They think they are adding depth but they are putting people to sleep.
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! Friends of mine always tell me I'm talkative and I have taken that as a compliment about my ability to "never let the conversation stop". Now I'm thinking twice about it.
I've never heard you personally, but it may be that they mean you talk more than necessary. If that is the case, I recommend you also work on listening. I have a few videos on that too.
Man this is gold. You are giving out such awesome content for free. I love your presentation and the clear concise message. Preach what you practice. Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
I like this course very much! Thank you for presenting it. I've noticed that people use the word "utilize" when they're trying to sound like an intellectual. Utilize means to use something in a way that it wasn't intended for.
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.
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!
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.
I discussed these with my mentor who is from the UK. She also pointed out that I had problem in my communication. Nervous as the task seems challenging
Hi, You could actually talk about anything under the sun. You walk the talk so coherently that I could implement your advice immediately. Thank you so much. Have a great Easter.
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.
It's an amazing videos about effective communication.. I will try to adopt all the steps in order to become a good communicator but the problem I face mostly during presentation is that I become nervous so I'm trying to deal with it first. Moreover if anyone know how to avoid it so you may share your opinions and experiences.
Pauses- when introducing yourself to a new acquaintance- State your first name (pause) state your last name. The pause causes the listeners brain to engage the “listening” mode
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your videos have given me valuable tips and tricks to build my communication skills. I am truly grateful.
1:45 i'm over-talkative when drunk, i can communicate a lot better too. when sober i can over-talk but it not be as organised. i do think its more to do with being excited to chat, feeling good in the moment, wanting to share info i know to benefit the other for sure. then when im sober i guess im more sceptical of people and less willing to give knowledge away as freely. its a strange one. ego and confidence defo play a part. if someone isnt responding to what im saying i'll keep talking and add more layers for people to respond to. with some people this works, with others they just consume and don't give anything back and only respond when asked.
It makes perfect sense that you’re a Comedians In Cars fan. Every episode is a master class in concise, engaging communication. (Of course, the editors probably have a little to do with it…)
Yes, I love that show. I've been of fan of Seinfeld's since before he had his original hit show. I used to watch him on comedy specials in the mid-80s.
Hi Alex, sometimes I am long winded because of all the information I get asked to provide to my clients in my professional setting, so i guess I have to be creative to shorten that information & still able to convey the message
I'm long-winded and I talk too much because I fear not explaining things clearly enough or not properly. I tend to give background info to make things more clear, and my boyfriend tells me I often repeat things in a different way. I have ADHD and I think that is a primary cause. I also LOVE to learn why and how. If someone tells me not to do something, my first response is to ask why and what reasoning generated their opinion or determination. So when I tell someone something like that, I give a reason. I'm learning now that sometimes people simply don't care what the reason or mechanics are that backs the opinion. "Don't shift into drive while the car is still rolling backwards." That's all some people care about. They just say "Oh, ok!" I will likely go on to say "Some parts of the transmission are meant to only move one way or do one things, and when you shift to the opposite direction while moving you physically force the parts to go the other way and it damages them. A sprag and drum band are good examples. And always use your parking brake because the weight of the car falling and resting on the parking pawl stresses it out a lot and you may break it off one day. In a crash with a parked car, the pawl will break and the car will roll away. If the pawl is supported by the parking brake, it won't roll away into other cars or houses." I guess I should just give the statement and only continue to explain if asked. 😔
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.
never leave comments yet need to give this and your other videos credit for my improvement; work in progress. Follow Alex's advice: "view these over and over"; helps learning. thank you!! (how was that? lol )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Even though I am a palpable singer and a spiritual lead/ rhythm goth guitarist, I find myself in this spot at home. I am looking at an Asperger's diagnosis and I am not surprised, although it in of itself lends to long windedness as I have strong speaking skills and use comedy to make memories in people's minds. I get SUPER excited about setting up a timer, to hut of lights on said time and it is linked to 4+ extensions cords as the lights go on at a very "engineered" timings to satisfy "ocd like" impulses. I would run inside marveling over it and exhaust my wife's ear on all the sciences behind it. ~~~~~~~~~~ She accepts my rolling verbiage, but I would like to show more class. So, thank you for this education. I love solid data and this could be a stepping stone to better mental health.
So I am incredible and almost theatric in my talk as people like my long talk, BUT it reads as insolence to strangers. My issues are huge miscommunication issues and I have trouble reading people's conversational body language. Great video!

Whenever I communicate it's very unorganized. I can tell by the look on their face. In my search for help, I found this video. Thank you!

Yes, agreed. Thanks for your comment.
What if you have a learning disability? Define "a social situation."
Yes I agree
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'.

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

I too relate how to overcome from that

Alex' advice about written and oral communication is invaluable. I use his videos frequently in my speech communication and public speaking classes.
I watched this video and today it's still a masterpiece, I learned a lot from this video.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. It's a bit of an older video but the ideas don't change much.
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.

for some reason when im talking in my mind im concise clear and confident, however, when the words flow from my mouth im long winded
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.
Thank you for opening my eyes and ears more and more on what i see hear and feel,............God Bless you and your work too !!
Absolutely true, coaches should be watching this
Alex, everytime I watch your videos I always learn something. This is an exceptional topic.. Thank you and I really appreciate your sharing.
