How to Get to the Point when Speaking

[@chrisfenningcommunication]

It was great to have such a practical conversation and I hope it helps people get the first minute right! Thanks for inviting me on the show Alex.

Thanks for coming on the channel, Chris. It was a true honor to make this video with you.

I've been following this channel for about 3 years, In the beginning, I just intended to learn English by watching those videos. You always use English elegantly and professionally, with very useful expressions. Over time, I realized that what I’ve learned is more than just the English language itself. I appreciate and benefit from the in-depth communication skills that you’ve shared with us. I am also inspired by the encouraging and empowering messages from your videos, such as Dolly Parton’s interview and Ronald Reagan’s speech. Thank you so much Alex for bringing so much insight to the world!

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you for sharing your feedback with me. I'm thrilled to play a small part in your journey.

[@stellaguo9225]

Thank you Alex for your efforts and epic videos!

[@alexanderlyon]

And also, wow, thank you so much for your gift. That is very generous and I am very grateful.

This is a great video for verbal processors (such as myself!) Lately I've been trying to work on these values: - Seek to understand before seeking to be understood. - Giving advice or coaching in clear, concise language. I'll be adding "setting the agenda" to that ever-growing list. Thanks gentlemen!

I think people are long winded is simply because nobody talks to each other anymore. Everyone is looking at a screen and typing or texting. We have lost the art of conversing for the fun of connecting with each other and passing the time. So these days, when we get a chance to talk to someone, we go overboard. It is hard to make friends in person anymore , so we are starved for human contact and connection and relating and finding common ground which validates us and makes us feel worth something.

[@nancyzehr3679]

[@theschoolofbodylanguage]

The best

[@alexanderlyon]

Aw, thank you, Roxi. Chris did a great job in this video.

[@theetravelhippie]

my issue is I think I provide too much context

[@kelvinwilson548]

Same lol

[@thesilverladylifts2708]

My bestie is like this and I’m the complete opposite. It’s tough to communicate and I tend to avoid asking questions because I don’t want to get stuck hearing about the history geography and biography of it all. Most times about people I don’t know and when I don’t know who they are, I don’t care.

[@RumanGogoi-cj3]

WHERE ARE YOU FROM 🇬🇧🇬🇧. I'M 17 NOW I WANNA LEARN LEADERSHIP.

[@bricesmith1060]

Took one minute to ask first simple question. Answers question with long winded reply

[@bricesmith1060]

The preamble kills your premise. You didn’t get to the point

[@TheChurchOfPhakeKnewz]

The two links that you posted are not to subscribe to his KZbin channel. It’s just sign up for his course or to buy his book. You lied you are a liar. You lied your promoting a book. It’s too bad I used to subscribe to your channel, I found value in it, but now I found out you know more than a Trump or a liar.

[@alexanderlyon]

You are correct that I posted a link to his book, like I said I would. I also posted a link to his KZbin channel and his LinkedIn profile. You may want to double check what you clicked on. Sounds like you may have clicked on a link to my website. That link is under every single video I post. My name is Alex. My guest’s name is Chris.
