In a way, communication is like baseball.\nIf you merely look at the sport, it seems fairly simple and easy - throwing, catching, and hitting a ball.\xa0 But knowing how to play the sport and actually doing it are two very different things.\nIt\u2019s the same with effective communication. Many leaders know what needs to be done, yet fail when it comes to the execution part.\xa0 In today\u2019s episode, Dr. Lyon speaks on 6 key behaviors for leaders to develop, which are also at the heart of his soon to be released book\xa0Positive\xa0Communication for Leaders.\xa0 By themselves, they aren\u2019t anything extraordinary.\xa0 But cumulatively, they lead to extraordinary results.\nAlex Lyon (Ph.D.) is professor of communication at the State University of New York, Brockport, and a professional speaker and consultant. He has published original research in several peer-reviewed journals including Communication Monographs and Management Communication Quarterly, and has worked directly with highly respected organizations such as Nike, Google, and Visa.\nHe hosts the 480,000+ subscriber YouTube channel, Communication Coach Alex Lyon that has accumulated over 25 million views, and is the founder of Communication Coach Academy, an online program to help emerging leaders hone their communication skills.\nIn addition to those 6 key behaviors, we also talk about how to manage people that don't want to change and how to create connections even when there's conflict.\xa0 More specifically, we dive into:\nHis leadership roadblock & how he overcame it (17:50)\n6 key behaviors to create more positive relationships as a leader (43:40)\nHow to be clear & direct in your leadership communication (1:05:50)\nWhere to start if you want to become a better communicator (1:15:10)\nLearn more from Dr. Lyon:\nWebsite: positivecommunicationforleaders.com\nYoutube: Communication Coach\nSocial Media: LinkedIn\nThe Art of Coaching Apprenticeship Workshop: Making an impact as an introvert is only one of the overwhelming number of constraints we may face as we navigate the messy realities of leadership.\xa0 If this is a skill you\u2019d like to develop, or if you know someone who struggles with this, The Apprenticeship is the place to go.
