Lynn Winstead-Mabe

Profile

My academic passions are communication; all types. I teach Interpersonal Communication which is at the root of all individuals, couples, families and organizations. We are only as good and strong as our poorest communicators. I enjoy working with law enforcement personnel and organizations because there are some special considerations and factors in that environment. I enjoy teaching college students because of the tremendous diversity on our campus, but also because it is such a time of excitement, change, learning and growth. I like being a small part of the process. I consider communication the potential root of all evil or the seed everything that blooms and is beautiful. It all begins with communication.

Research Interests

My research and teaching interests include areas of interpersonal communication, crisis communication and strategies, business and employee communications, workplace mediation, employee satisfaction and integration into corporate cultures, and diversity and intercultural communication.
