Defensiveness is pervasive! And it's too expensive — for individuals, families, professional organizations, corporations, and society.

  • For thousands of years people have used the "rules of war" as the
    basis for how we talk to each other.

  • We often get defensive quickly when we want to protect ourselves.

  • Traditional communication methods literally create and accelerate conflict.

Sharon Ellison has devoted her life to creating a new model for
communication that can eliminate defensiveness and power struggle.

  • Using it we can gain the skills we need to be open, honest, and authentic.

  • These non-defensive skills are freeing, disarming, and contagious.

  • We can genuinely resolve conflict and build respectful, reciprocal relationships.
