Dr. Kurt Southam in Action
Comments from Session Attendees
“Crucial Conversations is the most timely subject we have ever dealt with and we have had some heavy weight speakers address us (Stephen Covey, Senator Jake Garn, John Huntsman) to name a few! The comments from participants indicated that this is breakthrough material. They were very enthusiastic about being able to surface and address concerns with other doctors and staff where in the past they have avoided such conversations hoping they would somehow get better on their own…which they won’t. Others talk around the core issue, but Kurt Southam identified it, named it and has given us tools to address it!”
Pimmie Lopez, President, Utah Medical Group Management Association
“Wow!!! What a presentation by Dr. Southam, he is a master at his craft. The presentation had it all rolled into one: captivating, interesting, useful, insightful and entertaining. I would highly recommend him to any business, government or educational organization for any level from local, national or international audiences. He is at the top of his profession.”

It was quite clear that your message resonated with our members in both their professional and personal lives. I received multiple comments on how much participants learned from and enjoyed your presentation. Several also inquired about using your services at other events so I think you can expect to be hearing from PASBO.”

“I would like to extend my appreciation to you for playing a prominent role at our recent annual conference. Reviews indicate Crucial Conversations was a big hit! Your presentation clearly exceeded our expectations!”
Pamela Patzke, President, Association of Corporate Counsel of America, Wisconsin Chapter
“We were so pleased to have you speak at our conference and the reviews have been terrific! We had vendors at the conference leaving their tables to come hear your presentation! We want to book you for next year!” The only negative feedback on the evaluations was that we needed more time for your presentation."
Mary Pat Fenton, Executive Director, Association of Corporate Counsel of America, Wisconsin Chapter
“You helped transform our business and more importantly, the lives which drive it.”
John Quinn, CEO Excel Polymers
“Kurt was able to engage a diverse group in rich learning. He focused the learning on our needs, not his agenda. He shared best practices that were relevant and real-world. Because of his background and experience he was able to think on his feet and field difficult questions and provide real time solutions that work. We learned skills that impact results.”
R.E. Suggs, Senior Director, Harley-Davidson Motor Co.
“For me, what I learned in Crucial Conversations was like an awakening. I attended to explore leadership skills training for my company, but these skills impact every aspect of life on and off the job. This training is all about results and skills, not just theory!”
