“I am just filled with joy knowing that there are people who truly value people in such a diverse array of workspaces. The convening was an experiential and educational space filled with probing questions about workplace culture, our duty to each other, and a call to action to imagine more! By being in the space, you could tell that everyone there was truly committed to doing the work of championing DEI.”

“If you are looking to strengthen capabilities, activate creativity, and build community, around developing high-performance organizational cultures that balances and bridges organizational objectives and social responsibility, the Culture Impact Lab is the place to do just that.”

“A fulfilling two-day experience at the Culture Impact Lab has left me feeling invigorated. It's a privilege to be a part of an organization that values culture and to play a leading role in our efforts to develop people and create space. The conference was a refreshing change of pace, offering a chance to engage with smart and passionate individuals from diverse industries and contexts who share a deep interest in culture.”

“The event was an enriching experience that left me feeling grounded, seen and heard, and energized to make a difference. The event highlighted the importance of fostering a positive organizational culture but as a marketing leader, it also underscored how integral keeping pace with the world is essential to effective branding.”

“The 2-day Culture Impact Lab was full of insights from a variety of perspectives, coupled with real time conversations that led to impactful reframes on people-first culture in modern society. I personally left inspired, motivated, and armed with tools and learning that has enabled me to not only enhance the culture of my organization, but also in every conversation I have with my clients on the subject. It has also given me a new community of like-minded people to continually connect and learn from.”

"The Culture Impact Lab offers a rare and vital opportunity for leaders to come together, not only to reflect on their values but to see those values in action through a community of peers. In this space, leaders learn what it means to prioritize people while balancing the demands of thriving ecosystems. The Lab is a beacon for those who may feel alone in making brave, values-driven decisions—offering the camaraderie and inspiration necessary to stand strong and lead boldly."

“The inaugural Call for Culture conference (Culture Impact Lab) never actually ended for me. The humans who came together into the very intentional space are people I collaborate with, seek guidance from and get inspired by still almost a year later. The conversations, lessons and connections were powerful and the ripple effect will continue for me well into the future! This isn’t a conference, it’s a movement, and I’m honoured to have been a part of it!”

“The Culture Impact Lab was transformative in ways I didn't expect. Beyond the valuable professional frameworks and insights, what struck me most was the genuine human connection fostered throughout the event. I left with not just new professional contacts but real friendships. The organizers created a beautifully balanced space that honored both intellectual growth and emotional depth, all while ensuring participants never felt overwhelmed. In a professional world that often prioritizes metrics over meaning, this gathering stood out as a true refuge for leaders seeking to reimagine work's role in creating societal change. The beautiful venue served as a perfect backdrop for the deep connections and conversations that emerged.”

“Work makes up such a large part of our lives. Shaping that daily experience to be as meaningful and worthwhile as possible is something all leaders should be striving for. That’s exactly what the Culture Impact Lab is about — bringing together thought leaders, changemakers and community advocates to create tangible impact at work. Through live poetry, workshops, creative exercises and so much more — we were pushed to rethink what work can be if we weave in themes like social impact, equality and human-centered thinking. Everyone in the room came with something valuable, like compassion, creativity or drive to do better. The experience was so intentional — from the neurodivergent trinkets on each table to the local organizations featured. I left with a renewed sense of excitement for what I do, great connections and amazing ideas.”

“What makes the Culture Impact Lab worth anyone's investment is the depth of conversation and relationships, and a chance to do real work together. This conference isn't just about listening to brilliant folks, it's about taking that learning in real time and applying it to your organization, your challenges, your opportunities. It's a rare opportunity to be have access to those brilliant minds supporting you, in an atmosphere without pretense.”

“The true force behind Culture Impact Lab are the minds of human-centric leaders who come together for a greater purpose--to create equitable workplaces that empower people to grow. Being part of this community opens the door for direct access to data, research and applicable solutions that are critical for how we engage in real culture change. The intentionality of this space curates leaders who are creatively thinking about how we can make a difference with tangible, real, and community-based solutions.”

“Call for Culture’s Culture, Impact Lab was absolutely the most thought out, amazingly curated, action oriented and inspirational workshop/lab I've ever attended! If you are looking to be surrounded by and learn alongside immensely passionate people who are culture change champions and advocates + walk away with not only new relationships, a refreshed sense of hope, inspiration, motivation, but also an action plan – look no further, this IS the event you need to attend.”

"Participating in Call For Culture’s Culture Impact Lab last year was an incredible experience. What stood out to me most was how thoughtfully the community was curated—every attendee brought a unique perspective, yet we were all aligned in our shared passion for building better workplace cultures. The conversations were deep, real, and actionable. What truly set the Culture Impact Lab apart was that it wasn’t just about inspiration—it was about implementation. Everyone walked away with tangible action plans to bring back to our companies, ensuring that the insights gained translated into real change. I left feeling energized and equipped with new strategies to foster a more empathetic, human-centered workplace. If you care about workplace culture and want to be part of a community that is actively shaping the future of work, this is the place to be!"

“Angela and her team outdid themselves with the 2024 Culture Impact Lab—it was nothing short of phenomenal! The conference was packed with powerful speakers who didn’t just share their expertise but brought their stories to life in a way that truly resonated. What set this event apart was the hands-on experience—we didn’t just listen; we collaborated, problem-solved, and practiced real-world case studies alongside fellow participants. The interactive format, combined with open Q&A and shared reflections, made for an incredibly engaging and inspiring experience.

Most importantly, the lab left me empowered and ready to take action. I now have the confidence to step in and coach when missteps happen and a renewed commitment to amplifying employee voices and driving meaningful change. If you care about workplace culture, this is the event you can’t afford to miss!”

“If I’m honest, it’s where Rebel 75 was really born. I had just been laid off a few weeks prior. I was tired. And when you’ve been working for 30 years, crafting a career of pivots, non-traditional paths in traditional workspaces, you have to sort through the “what can I do” to get do the “what do I want to do” and then to the “what MUST I do.” That started to happen at Culture Impact Lab because there was a framework to listen, to talk, to wrestle, and to create - and then to be held accountable. If you are in the “people” space in a company (corporate, NFP, independent, etc) and want to be challenged, inspired and have the space to create intimate connections - come to Culture Impact Lab. If you’re not in the people space, but you realize that incredible organizations are only possible if your people are healthy, your culture is intentionally cultivated, and your leadership is deeply human centered - then come. Be ready to roll up your sleeves and do some work. The content is incredible. The design is purposeful. And the people are magic.”

“The 2025 Culture Impact Lab was a profound inflection point in my career and general livelihood. Prior to attending, I believed I was alone. After arriving, I realized this was merely isolation. And once it was over, I celebrated being a part of something transformative. Angela Howard and the Call for Culture team make a truly remarkable space. A space where vulnerability is contagious and empowering, where ideas collide into insight, and anyone can say “I don’t know…yet” with wonder in place of shame. The Culture Impact Lab provided the necessary mix of intentionality, curiosity, structure, humor, food, art, and people to align a hall full of “strangers” toward a common goal: finding a new way to work, together. In a time where it feels like everything is falling apart, the Lab does something extraordinary. It doesn’t try to “fix” anything. Instead, it gives the invaluable opportunity to see things differently. I already can’t wait for next year!”
