Why We Created Uniting Perspectives
We created Uniting Perspectives out of a growing frustration with how polarized our world has become—especially in politics. Somewhere along the way, it became expected that if you identify as a Democrat or a Republican, you have to agree with everything your party says. But the truth is, no political party has all the answers. Their platforms shift over time, their priorities change, and sometimes, they contradict the very values they once stood for.
That’s why we believe in something deeper than party lines: independent thought.
We believe critical thinking—asking questions, considering nuance, and being open to opposing views—is the real path forward. Uniting Perspectives exists to encourage thoughtful conversations, mutual respect, and the freedom to say, “I don’t agree with that,” no matter which side it comes from.
Because progress doesn’t come from loyalty to a label.
It comes from having the courage to think for yourself.
We’re not here to play by the system’s rules—we’re here to rewrite them. Join us in building something better.
Tired of being spun to extremes? Most of us just want to live in the middle. No more overcorrections—just common sense.
Hello, I’m Shawn. I’m not here to lead a side—I’m here to hold space for honest, open critical thinking.
Uniting Perspectives was founded by Shawn Lederman out of a deep concern for the growing polarization in today’s world. Over the years, Shawn observed how political, social, and financial divides were fracturing relationships and disrupting meaningful conversations. This disconnect wasn’t just a societal issue—it was personal, affecting interactions with family, friends, and colleagues.
Determined to make a difference, Shawn envisioned Uniting Perspectives as a platform to promote open dialogue, critical thinking, and unity—a space where independent thought is encouraged, and where people can engage without the pressure to conform to one side or another.
With a rich background in leadership, business, and fostering collaboration, Shawn has consistently demonstrated the transformative power of understanding diverse perspectives. Whether navigating complex decisions in the business world or bridging gaps in personal relationships, he brings a wealth of experience and a heartfelt commitment to connection and mutual respect.
Uniting Perspectives is a reflection of his belief that meaningful conversations can lead to real change—when they’re approached with empathy, curiosity, and the willingness to listen.
“Bridging divides doesn’t mean surrendering your beliefs – it means being open enough to understand someone else’s.”
—Shawn Lederman
Because true dialogue starts with listening, not winning.
