Sharon Ellison's book is terrific and so are her workshops. I hope she reaches a critical mass, so we can all improve our lives personally and globally. —Vivienne Verdon-Roe Academy Award winner, Women for America, for the World From the time I first read this book in manuscript form, I knew that Sharon was onto something extraordinary. We're used to thinking that learning to communicate more effectively has to be a struggle. With this model, profound changes can happen so quickly. —Caroline Pincus, manuscript consultant and former senior editor, Harper Collins |
Sharon Ellison's book appeals to a wide range
of audiences. A typical bookstore presentation
lasts about 45 minutes and can be shortened
or extended as desired.
An award winning speaker, Sharon likes to combine
reading excerpts from her book with a dynamic
presentation comparing the traditional "war
model" for communicating with the new,
Powerful Non-Defensive Communication
model she has created.
People learn non-defensive communication techniques immediately applicable
in their own lives. Sharon is happy to take examples, do short role-plays,
and answer questions. Audience members become immediately engaged and
enthusiastic. It is common for people to comment on how focused Sharon
is on each person whose book she is signing.

We have never had so many people call us to get a book simply after hearing a radio interview as we have since your interview was aired on our local NPR radio station. —Victoria Donner, The Mendocino Book Company I see your book becoming a best seller, and your message spreading out across the nation. —Rob Merlo, Engineer |
Comments from Bookstore Personnel:
Gateways customers clearly perceived this topic as timely and important which accounted for the excellent turn out, and even better, the presentation won over the hearts of those who were there so completely that the percentage of book sales to attendees was far above average. Sharon Ellison walks her talk with warmth, kindness, humor, and compassion. This method of thinking and communicating will be how humanity will survive and be happy to boot.— David Garbacz, Gateways Books and Gifts, Manager and Buyer, Santa Cruz, CA
Your booksigning was outstanding! It is always refreshing to work with
an author who clearly understands the difference between a booksigning
and a workshop. Your style of storytelling presented the audience with
a great introduction to your powerful message. With your keen sense of
the bookselling business, you continued to reference other topics that
were in the book and read specific stories to further enhance the points
you made in your presentation. This technique gave the audience a sense
of your clear and concise writing style so they could see the value of
your book as a resource well suited for all age groups facing everyday
communication challenges.
The information you presented was perfectly suited for our standing room
only audience. You touched everyone personally and people went away with
some actual communication skills. Your sincerity, warmth, tone and pace
showed that you walk your talk. Because of that, people were not able
to walk away without buying the book. We sold every copy of your book
we had in the store, and placed personal orders for more that evening.
Way to go! Keep up the good work and I look forward to working with you
again in the future. Schuyler Morgan, Community Relations Manager,
Berkeley Barnes & Noble

I believe this is the most powerful structure I've learned in my training as a Marriage and Family Counseling therapist. It has tremendous implications for most human interactions. —Bette Acuff, Ph.D., M.A., San Francisco, CA What you have discovered is so outrageous. Actually, it's so simple, it's beyond belief that we haven't been here before. I think when the world finds out about you, Sharon, it's just going to be an explosion of marvelous things. —Carol Blumenfeld, Owner of Carol's Cow Hollow Inn San Francisco, CA |
