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.

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🥰

@phoebexxlouise Год назад

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.

@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64 2 года назад

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.

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. 😭

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.

@WizardOfCheese Год назад

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.

@Charity-vm4bt Год назад

@@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.

@RD-wn1us 3 года назад

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.

@alexanderlyon 3 года назад

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.

@LilyAmongThorns Год назад

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.

@Charity-vm4bt Год назад

@@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.

@noli-timere-crede-tantum 3 года назад

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 года назад

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.

@Mrs.Yates0417 3 года назад

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

@alexanderlyon 3 года назад

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.

@tatyanarebrova 2 года назад

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)
