Shadows with flash

Just a quick question. I have the 430 EX II with my 450D. When I use the flash to take pictures of people I always get a shadow behind the person.

How can I minimize the shadow? Even when the background is 10 to 20 feet behind the person there will still be a shadow on the background. Not just a soft faded shadow but a nice sharp outline.

Just curious if there is something I need to do different.

Thanks a bunch.
