Americans are more likely to encounter religious diversity in their workplaces than in any other sphere of life. In an era defined by polarization, successful leaders recognize this diversity as both a challenge and an opportunity: acknowledging that team members hold fundamentally different worldviews while identifying the shared values that strengthen their team culture.
Join Interfaith America CEO Adam Phillips* and distinguished senior leaders from business and healthcare at Dare to Overcome, May 20-22, 2025, as they share powerful stories of interfaith leadership and proven strategies for transforming religious diversity into a competitive advantage through meaningful inclusion and cooperation.
