Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Pondalyn Phrenic Paramountcy (probably on Google)? It is a great one off product for discovering psychological methods to make women want you minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 at very last got cool success with it.

Can't be friendly with everybody some people don't take that well. Usually its the person being nice or to friendly that gets abused nowadays

[@alexanderlyon]

You are right in some ways. I build positive relationships with anybody who seems open. But, not everybody is open and some have toxic tendencies. If I can, I avoid them. However, in most contexts in which I've worked, most of the highest-ranking leaders make great efforts to build positive relationships. I don't see a pattern anywhere I've worked or consulted that shows building positive relationships leads to abuse. If somebody is being a bully or unnecessarily harsh, being "nice," isn't going to work. But, there's is a big difference between *_being nice_* and what the video is about. If somebody becomes abusive, the situation changes and we have to be able to adapt. I have had several confrontations over the many years I have been working and most of them helped establish clear boundaries with other people about how I expected to be treated by them. So, standing up for ourselves is also a big part of working well and thriving in professional contexts.

[@paulinerussell8942]

Thanks for the advice, I've just come out of a toxic work environment and starting a new job next week. Will do my best to implement these strategies.

[@onepercentruleeveryday]

building great relationships is the key to an amazing networking. And, networking is the key to finding the right people who you can help out, and who can help you in return!:)

Love this video I'm 31 now I wish I would have known this at 18 I would have had one long term job never get upset always encourage

[@ingridrevolorio1800]

Three weeks in and today she said well don’t you remember what you were thought the other ? And didn’t I tell you earlier? Hmm I got upset and left abd worked on something else .

[@blacked2987]

Genuine Approachibility Encourage others

[@ltlt5268]

Thanks for your genuine shading and guidance. The way you present in your videos is concise, easy to understand and practical. Exactly what you are preaching for as a good communicator 😄

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks and you're welcome LT LT. I appreciate it.

[@balaselvakumars]

Thankyou brother. Really helpful ⭐

[@trithucnguyen3098]

Thank you for your awesome lessons in this video.

[@nitongpelingon8374]

watching your videos i think will help me learn tons of great lessons in communication and leadership than studying in any formal schools

[@threezysworld8089]

"Friendship has no survival value"- 100% untrue. Good video regardless.

[@alexanderlyon]

I didn’t make that up. It’s been said before. As a society, we need to have children to continue, we need parents to take care of us, we need spouses to marry, etc. Without those, we can’t survive as a society. Friendships certainly add value to our lives in many ways that are very special, but they are not, strictly speaking, about literally our survival. It’s probably one of the reasons that when we do build and enjoy close personal friendships that we find a new level of joy and satisfaction in our lives. CS Lewis said this better than anyone, “Friendships give value TO survival.” Friendships help to make life worth living.

[@andreanewman4861]

Great work, Alex! I hope you are well!

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi Andrea! Good to hear from you.

[@Iwonderwhy153]

Thank you for your great genuine and professional approach to teaching communication. I wish the whole world watch those videos of yours. It’ll be a greater place to live in. 😘👏👏👏

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Yael. Thank you for your encouragement. I read your comment to my wife aloud yesterday. It was the best comment of the day across the whole channel!

[@kavithajohn9642]

wonderful ... to be etched!

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you!

[@carmygraph]

Sometimes you're so easy going people expect you to compromise your own values. When one considers how corruption has entered the market place, wanting to do the right thing these days gives you more enemies than friends.

Oh maaaaan I love mother Theresa I am Catholic and this maybe the reason why i will subscribe and I loved the content I will subscribe to the chanel right now ❤️

[@raziaali6223]

Wow amazing

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks, Razia. Glad it was helpful.

[@kathconstance4684]

Good tips, however Maslow's hierarchy of needs establishes relationships among survival controls - also, human success relied/s heavily on the formation of community groups.

[@alexanderlyon]

Agreed but group membership and cooperation are not the same as genuine friendships. For example, family groups provide survival help, etc. The quote from C. S. Lewis is about genuine, voluntary friendships. Some people go years and even a lifetime without a true friend. This video is about trying to build real relationships.

[@alvarochirivella5939]

Thanks Alex for all your tips.. By the way, "5 love languages" is an excellent book to read and help me a lot in making a good communication in the marriage.. and in any relationship.

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, I've read that, Alvaro. It's an instant classic.

[@vpprimary7731]

Brilliant communication. Can I use this to train my teachers ?? Lovely ..and amazing

[@alexanderlyon]

Anybody can link to it or share it. But, it's against the rules to download it and then upload it to another system. Thanks for the interest.

[@PinkYellowGreen2023]

I know alot of people who could use this!!

[@MandolinSashaank]

My relationship with everyone in my team is good as long as I deliver stuff well. But just ask a single knowledge transfer from them and their color changes like a chameleon

i would like to hear you play the guitar

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Daniel. You're not missing much. I'm an average player. I just strum chords and do a little finger picking. I don't play any lead guitar. I'm a pretty good bass player, though. That was what I started on when I was a young fella. But bass alone doesn't sound like much.

[@TM-nb9zf]

Never heard of anyone say. "college teacher"

[@masamotox952]

Example of high maintenance individual ^ lol!

[@alisontill7677]

Could happy communication boyfriend please Jessica till

[@paolanamuncura8879]

I completely disagree with this. At work you need to be imparcial. Cautious with your words and quiet. Why? Because you are unfortunately gonna spend so much time with them that your emotions will change. You wont always be happy. You cant fake being happy all the time. Stuff happens, family member dying, spouses cheating on them etc. People are not always happy. Is real life. Just stay profesional and dont talk about your personal life. They are not your friends they are your coworkers.

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you for sharing your point of view. I encourage you too look more closely at the research on positive relationships and now you can benefit our long-term careers. For instance, there was an article in Forbes magazine just a few weeks ago about it. www.forbes.com/sites/tracybrower/2022/03/06/the-surprising-new-trait-for-growing-your-career-and-improving-your-life/?sh=2471c8f366b2

[@paolanamuncura8879]

@@alexanderlyon thank you. Will do!

[@BijouBakson]

Basically, you're teaching how to be disingenuous. How to pretend to be nice.

[@alexanderlyon]

Nope. It's gotta be authentic. Otherwise, people will see through it. But, many people don't realize that it takes effort to create positive relationships. I'm talking about putting in the effort to cultivate positive connections.

[@BijouBakson]

@@alexanderlyon Thanks for your response. I understand where you're coming from. What I have seen that disturbed me here is the removal of the scenario from reality. You have to take into account that some people have their own issues and that no amount of effort can make them not be who they are. I've worked with people that everyone at work knew was problematic, a ticking bomb... Waiting for the next victim... They've been working in the company for a long time and built ties with management, and grew sour at work and became bitter for reasons only some know. Some people have prejudice, like... say racial prejudice. People like Rush Limbaugh can never make friends with Obama and if they weren't political figures they could be working together. Maybe you need to reassess your presentation.

[@alexanderlyon]

I hear you. In one video, if you think about it, I can only really tackle one issue at a time. I have over 160 videos on all sorts of communication and leadership topics. Also, any principles have to be adapted to specific situations. No teacher can anticipate all possible considerations in any one piece of advice. There's always going to be an exception to the rule. So, my advice in this video about building positive relationships must be taken as face value. And, people can look at their own unique situation and either apply the advice or not. So, the assessment of the situation is where you come in. I hope the situation at work improves.

[@BijouBakson]

@@alexanderlyon I understand why you can only see things from you own perspective. I got the help I was looking for in a 3 minutes video. They summarized it pretty clearly. Maybe your title was mislead but thanks for your effort, I know you mean well.

[@Etapia562]

Yes right on the money. How to be nice! You got it man good job Bijou

[@duchesskay9838]

I don't think this is reasonable for advice. I find it impractical especially in toxic environments.
