In late 2007, Meryl realized that her Speak Strong communication principles could be applied to the divisive political dialogue occuring in our country, particularly to our personal political dialogues. With www.uniteandconcur.com, she hopes to do her part to begin to heal these harsh divides engulfing our democratic process. In her words: "Of all the problems our country faces, the reactive nature of our political dialog is the most fundamental. That is worth repeating. Of all the problems our country faces, the reactive nature of our political dialog is the most fundamental. Why? Because if we can’t talk to each other, we can’t solve our problems..."

To this end, Meryl sat down and wrote an eBook: Unite and Concur - How to stop arguing and start communicating about politics. Check out the Unite and Concur Mission Statement, its Principles, and the Unite and Concur Blog, dedicated not to politics itself, but to how politics are discussed in the public arena.
