Sharon Ellison provides a unique and articulate analysis of communication patterns among people. One of her specialties entails analyzing the impact of defensiveness and power struggle on individuals and/or groups in conflict. She can describe which defensive maneuvers a person is using in any interaction and show how to alter the outcome by using specific non-defensive techniques.

Sharon can analyze dialogue on any level about virtually any issue. Some examples:

• Politics: Political campaigns, ethical issues involving politicians, court rulings, national policy, conflicts in the legislature and congress, positions taken by government leaders, conflicts in global organizations (UN)
  
  
• The Workplace: employee-management, diversity, teamwork, conflict resolution, rudeness, anger, violence, discrimination, harassment, productivity, change-management
  
  
• The Community: violence in schools, gangs, violence toward women and children, environmental issues, conflicts among diverse special-interest groups, community development, law enforcement, community service
  
  
• The Family: intimate relationships, gender issues, parent-child relationships, elder care, addiction
