English is not my first language, so i am often nervous talking in group settings. This video helped me.

[@Knowledge_Nuggies]

Valuable advice! I think this summary of the "when to speak up and how to deal with hecklers"-part might be helpful for/worth sharing with other viewers: It's all about smart timing: 1. Anticipate current speaker's pause (hint: they wind down) 2. Meanwhile as they wind down: Signal you'll speak next: Lean in, visibly breathe in via mouth, and slightly raise index finger 3. As they hit their pause, you just start speaking 4. If you get interrupted make friendly eye contact with interruptor 5. Unless urgent, let them courteously go first (if they don't offer to let you go first) and keep signaling you go next (see 2)

[@alejandromarquez5565]

All the 7 seven tips are important to know and as you say self confidence is highly important , eye contact , don’t look down , do not ask for permission , lean in , thank for sharing !

[@alexanderlyon]

I'm glad they are helpful to you, Alejandro.

[@florissesonia9594]

Thanks so much. You are the best communication coach on YT. I have learned a lot from your videos and can concretely see progress in my oral communication and my confidence. You are clear, concrete and to the point. Great work!

[@alexanderlyon]

I'm so encouraged by your comment, Florisse. Thank you!

[@youu2luvv]

Yes! Wow, definitely must double or triple this on point such gr8 comment of yours, the best from the rest 👍 content creator/speaker/you tuber/communicator & last not least SUCH AN ARTIST IN HIS TRUEST BLEND,( AS A EYE-OPENING EDUCATOR! ) Such a lovely comment and YES I HAVE to AGREE! ... the best I've found to date, too. (⁰ú⁰)

[@eightkindsofblue]

Thank you for this video! I am naturally shy and have always found meetings so difficult. Like SO difficult because of all the things you mentioned. I wait and wait and wait because I never know the right place to speak up, and when I do, I’ve rehearsed the thing so much that I feel like it explodes out of me. Truly appreciate your clear articulation of the problems and the clear solutions. I’m going to implement these immediately. Thank you!

[@Ramadmurthy]

Sir, I am perplexed with the art public of speaking. It is quite natural as rain comes from heavens. By going through such stuff it makes me worried. What is to be focused and what not to be focused. The human beings are blessed with power of speech. It is the greatest gift and this makes us most intelligent. Why do we make simple things complicated by giving lables such as verbal, nonverbal, kinesthetic, auditory, visual, the more we give priority to these things the core will be missing. How does he speaks whether he is leaning, standing towards 45° or 60°. It is the listener's choice what he wants to listen ,he listens to it. He also understands what is not being spoken. It is the absolute choice of speaker/ listener. Do we learn typewriting by reading the mannual? Do we learn swimming by reading a book? Did we listened to our parents after completing the certificate courses? It is just natural. In this vast world, everything is ready except man. It is not intended to hurt or criticise anyone's sentiments. I just thought of write something. When we understand the history, we can come to know the natural and latent abilities of the greatest speakers the world such as Swami Vivekananda, Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Hitler, etc., Did they possess any master degrees from reputed universities? No, the need is the drive. It makes all the difference. I once again thank you very much everyone who pays their valuable time to read. Thank you. D. Rama Murthy Telangana India I thank you very much for your videos.

[@tpriestess]

WoW just what I need to work on. Many of us are out of social practice! Your work is helping me in my communication. I often wait too long and I burst!

[@ZoneTwelveOnline]

In my role I am required to give presentations daily in a high stakes sales environment. I constantly look to improve not just how to communicate more effectively but also efficiently. Everything you have suggested is dead on, my only additional suggestion is to incorporate these tips with a STRONG VOICE.

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, add it to the list. Thank you.

[@gscardenas6856]

Thank you. This is very helpful

[@deeg9897]

I found all these useful, thank you very much. I am an introvert so when I have to speak up in a meeting, all I can think of at that moment is that everybody's eyes are on me and then I turn red in the face. I need to work on my confidence and tell myself that what I have to say is important and of value.

[@willieward7419]

I love the way you coach. Tip #5 is my favorite.

[@seventhtenth]

you have helped me very much! I always wait for an audible pause but waiting for the wind down and audibly breathing in (giving a cue) also gives the other speaker an opportunity to give a cue as to whether they are done or not (yes or no right after I cue) works flawlessly with the finger if you need to cut them there to respond

[@librarystudyntour]

Thanks for the concrete suggestions!

[@pouncecat3726]

Some great tips you shared here. Valuable suggestion and I just need to implement these tips in my virtual meeting and in person meeting. I am glad I found your channel.

[@moseskim3942]

Wow, this is really refreshing and actually helpful. You don’t waste words or time. I hate to overuse the word “crisp” but your videos capture this perfectly.

[@alexanderlyon]

I'm glad you think so, Moki. My personal rule when speaking is to make sure each sentence adds value. I do my best not to simply repeat what I've already said. I'm glad you noticed!

[@dorothykasonde5053]

Great advice I like the point where you say STAY LOOKING AT THE NEXT SPEAKER ...ie hold your own.I usually squirm and put my head down back to shyness being glad its over but leaving a defeated impression. Thanks 😊

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks for sharing, Dorothy. I hear you. I've seen many communicators look down like that after they speak. It's a challenge and takes practice like anything else.

Can you do another video on communication tips over Zoom or video conference?

[@alexanderlyon]

It's a good idea and a lot of people have asked but I probably won't do videos about Zoom. There are so many out there on that from other channels right now and I don't have an anything special to say about it at this point. If I come up with something a little unique to say, I might reconsider.
