Wherever there are people, there are differences. Most often, when expectations aren't met or a perceived wrong is done by one person to another, heated and emotional words are exchanged and communication stops. In twenty years of professionally mediating thousands of disputes, it has become crystal clear that people hate conflict, even though conflict is a part of daily life.
Many people choose to remain in conflict because they are afraid or don't know how to constructively address it. To some, addressing a difficult issue means more fighting and more anger. To others, it means having to give in on their position. It seems easier to stay angry and resentful than to risk the possibility of losing the argument. It is not long before hostility replaces clear thinking and reasonable action. Emotions escalate, memories of the event are exaggerated, and positions become entrenched. The once manageable disagreement often escalates to costly, lengthy, and emotionally taxing legal maneuvers.
The Elledge Group specializes in helping individuals communicate in ways that will best help the OTHER receive the message. By understanding, respecting, and working with the OTHER'S natural forces -- needs, interests, concerns, and fears -- a true connection can be made. People learn how to use and move through conflict to mutually create new, more productive ways of interacting and working with one another. Differences and ill will are replaced with new understanding, new action and new resolve.
