When there is more than one person, everything begins and ends with communication. Conflicts, misinformation, cultural division, and even wars start with a failure to communicate. Communication was immortalized in the Paul Newman movie Cool Hand Luke, where the chain gang boss said, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." It is a leading problem underpinning poor organizational effectiveness and is cited in employee surveys as one of the top three issues with leaders. Most people are not educated on how to communicate and take communication for granted. They don't recognize the barriers that impact communications. This is a Basic Model of Communication. When these principles break down, communication fails leadership, organizations, and even whole cultures. That is the power associated with interpersonal communication.

Do you feel old? Do you think you are old? What is aging anyway? Many heads of state don't die until they are in their nineties, including George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Queen Elizabeth. One thing they have going for them is they have people preserving their health, fitness, and mental well-being. They plan their aging. The average person doesn't have that luxury. But that doesn't prevent them from Building A Strategy To Age.

There are a lot of communication elements in creating a persuasive speech. In this podcast, we learn some communication theory that helps promote a persuasive speech. We will review communication theory and apply that theory to evaluate Jon Stewart's speech. Jon gave a speech criticizing the GOP for failing to pass the Veterans healthcare bill. The GOP first voted to approve the bill, but after a minor revision that didn't impact the bill, a procedure revision, the GOP voted against the bill. Jon Stewart spoke passionately about the GOP's failure to pass the bill. His speech went viral and aroused Americans from all political perspectives. The Veteran's health passed on the third vote. Many attribute the passing of the bill to Jon Stewart's speech.
