Welcome! I made this channel to help professionals and emerging leaders increase their impact and lead their teams with excellence through better communication skills.

I've done workshops, presentations, and consulting for organizations for 20+ years. I'm a fulltime tenured full Professor at a public college in New York. I publish original research and two books. I earned a Ph.D. in Communication (2003) from CU Boulder.

I'm the founder of a Communication Coach Academy (CCA) that equips emerging leaders: https://www.alexanderlyon.com/

With your help, I currently sponsor 10 children through Compassion International with proceeds from the channel.
