I found your channel during the pandemic. At the time I worked for Microsoft and was terrified about having to present through Teams to 100+ colleagues; executives and other leaders.

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Yes, I do love teaching. I love being on campus and I love the classroom environment.

@johndenver5015 9 месяцев назад

Just watched this video for the second time. In the beginning of this video you were talking about how to reach your students ... This is part of what I was thinking about when I said previously that this was perfect timing. I'm a truck driver long haul and I am gone all week and sometimes longer. I want to talk to them about different things that I learned, but I want them to listen and hear it without putting them on the spot and this is where your teaching comes into play. I've realized that sometimes when I talk to one of them at times I'm rehearsing My thoughts to them and I go over it a few times by then I guess I wear them out. Using what I learn from you is helping me with organizing my thoughts and say what I really want to say. This gives them opportunity to watch when they want and they don't have go through the grueling work of just sitting there until I finish. Thanks again coach

One key takeaway that I got out of this video is to DREAM BIG and work for it! I predict that you'll hit 1M Subscriber in 1 Year! The clock is ticking and let's go!!!!

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for such positive feedback. I hope you're right about reaching 1 million. But I'm not in a rush. I think it'll take several years based upon my past experience. Either way, it'll be worth the wait.

@EngliLearn 9 месяцев назад

Alex, your videos are always very helpful and informative. It's great to see that success on YT is possible for educational channels that provide genuine information, without clickbaiting and other negative practices. Many of the things you said have resonated with me and I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for the work you do. It matters. Best of luck!

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate that! And, yes, I think education-focused channels are the hidden niche on RU-vid. The content is mostly evergreen and the life-span of education channels is really long. I know many education channels that have been going strong for 10+ years and are still growing.

@upperna1978 9 месяцев назад

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Thank you. And yes, 1 million in the next 5 years is on my big crazy dreams list. Seems far off but I'll just keep moving forward.

@RachelSmets 9 месяцев назад

Wow, I’m in such a similar situation like you a few years ago. I’m in here 5 years now and will not stop because I’m so happy when I can inspire people with my videos. Of course my goal is 100k subs, but even better is views and being able to reach and touch more viewers , Thanks for sharing, I’ll take a paper and write this goal down like you! 🎉

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Awesome. Just keep moving forward. Learn everything you can and keep improving your skills with each video.

Wow, Alex. Your heartfelt story had me in tears of inspiration. I appreciated the Q & A format of the storytelling - it is so clever. The answer you provided to the question "do you have any haters" and explaining how you kept your early goals private with your wife are particularly helpful to me. I entirely relate, and it helps me stay strong with my life situation. Thank you for the wisdom and teaching of techniques over the years. Your viewers are better people because of you. God bless you and those most precious to you, your wife and son.

@factionfusion337 9 месяцев назад

Good content… I love that you are making people more confident in their journey by offering them tools and communication. Think about offering some videos that focus on humble, classy responses to criticism and conversation. Obviously, you also have expertise in the RU-vid journey which is also an expertise that people love to absorb. I like the idea of you sprinkling in other areas of expertise. Keep it up.

@josefinthaning770 9 месяцев назад

So happy to hear that you are living your dreams while posting this valuable content! I read your and Julien’s book, Positive communication, and loved it! A fun read, with lots of insight and practical tips. The science about organisations turns some common ideas about what is needed for professional success on its head, and I have already experienced some success with the principles of the model. Thank you again and congrats on 500k!

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you found the book helpful. If you get a moment, please review it on Amazon.

@josefinthaning770 9 месяцев назад

I didn’t purchase it on Amazon but I will see what I can do :)

@josefinthaning770 9 месяцев назад

To DISCLOSE (and possibly overshare), I followed the link to Amazon, but my account has been locked due to suspicious activity. The last thing I recall ordering there, is a children’s book a few years ago, so maybe the account was hacked. I just went ahead and checked if it was possible to order it in Sweden, which seemed like an easier solution at the time.

@garymatfin679 8 месяцев назад

Hi there. I've been watching a lot of your videos and they are been really helpful to me and I've started a social group in my music shop. As we start the group this week I wanted to come across to them professional and to put a presentation on to get them interested. I've got a lot of advice from you and I'm ready so a big thank you from me across the pond in the UK. Congratulations on the half a million subscribers too. Here's to the next half a million! Gary

@greendrummers 9 месяцев назад

The story is great, about you wanting to get your students attention! Those friends mocking your project etc, were seemingly jealous, did they stay friends for long? You are blessed to have a supportive and wonderful wife.

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for your positive feedback. I'm still friends with some of them, yes, but not close friends. I doubt they remember how they reacted all these years later. And, yes, my wife is amazing. I'm super blessed.

@greendrummers 9 месяцев назад

@@alexanderlyon ah sometimes people forget their reaction particularly when it had been negative as it doesn't match ego they think they should be or want to be. Selective memory in some sort? I find it hard to forget others negative reactions as well as my own. But l am learning to remeber and focus more on the positives and learn to forgive. It is easier to forgive when we feel able to speak our minds... Which I find hard to do. It is so cool to know you are a teacher to real students... And ended up with so many subscribers! I hope your book is doing well and l must watch more videos, l subscribed ages ago but somehow RU-vid doesnt often offer them to me, maybe I haven't clicked on the bell, l must have a look as they are very useful and interesting. Thank you for all your hard work.

So interesting to hear about your journey. Been watching quite a few and when I think about why, I think it is because you are impressively articulating about not only your profession in communication but also they way you do it. So big probs from the other side of the world. Curious to hear if you've set new goals for the channel?

@alexanderlyon 9 месяцев назад

Thanks you! Yes, I've set some new goals. I still have my big crazy dreams list that I just updated in January. I do it every two years. Of course, the next huge milestone is 1 million subscribers but that's a pretty big number. We'll see.
