OF COMMUNICATION.

Professionally certified speaker, Dr. Johnny Miller shares what he does. What he does best is communicate both on the platform with business leaders and their employees.

Background: Interpersonal failures of communication are the gritty grinding frictions that make workplace communication unhealthy, unhappy and dysfunctional. The fundamental element to effective interpersonal communication is not smooth talk, aggressive, and arrogant know-how. Rather effective interpersonal working relationships reside in the traits we admire in a moral and ethical person-confidence, determination, bravery, and willingness to take a stand for what is right. When these traits are expressed by a hateful heart and mind, they twist into bullying and demeaning communication. Interpersonal communication skills, therefore, must focus on behaviors that start and escalate conflict such as verbal abuse, egocentric mindedness, false-rumors, difficult coworkers, bosses who ignore problem-subordinates, and subordinates who see bosses as adversaries. Interpersonal communication is the can't-do-without lubricant of efficient and effective corporate life.
