Ron McMillan Speaking Topics

  • Crucial Confrontations: Tools for Resolving Broken Promises, Violated Expectations, and Bad Behavior.

    Results Depend on Accountability: Be Prepared. A crucial confrontation is a face-to-face interaction in which we hold another person accountable for a broken promise, a violated expectation, or bad behavior. Accountability issues such as lagging performance, quality, and low morale can keep you from getting the results you need. Crucial Confrontations presents a straightforward step-by-step process for identifying and resolving performance gaps, strengthening accountability, eliminating inconsistency, and reducing resentment.

  • Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking when Stakes are High.

    Crucial Conversations Drive the Results that Matter Most. Crucial conversations (conversations where stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong) happen every day and impact all of our results, yet few people invest in the skills for holding them well. Studies show that the inability to discuss a problem can be more destructive than the problem itself. Issues like poor productivity, declining quality, lack of teamwork, or strained relationships are often the effects of crucial conversations that aren't being held or aren't being held well. Learn to step up to high stakes conversations skillfully and respectfully and begin to resolve the problems by:

    Surfacing the best ideas
    Making important decisions
    Act on decisions with unity and commitment
