Culture Impact Lab | A Call for Culture Experience

Chicago, IL | Spring 2025

REGISTER

Call for Culture is convening a diverse and interdisciplinary community of conscious leaders and culture champions nationwide to intentionally blur the lines (and the conversation) between workplace culture and culture in the world at large.

Our call to action? To do workplace culture differently.

OUR SOCIAL IMPACT BENEFICIARIES

5% of registration fees will go to causes, All of which local to the Chicago-land area, run by women, and in support of historically marginalized communities in the Chicagoland area.

You can expect everything typical cultural conferences aren't

Human-first Details

Tech-supported Logistics

Individualized Support

Thoughtful Facilitation

The traditional culture conference model has come to accept the status quo. We’re changing that.

Lack of diversity in topics and speakers

Mindsharing opportunities across disciplines to gain wider and deeper perspective.

Forced networking

Revitalization sessions and design centered on humans — not presentations — so you can stay alert and energized for the entire experience and organically connect.

Stale ballroom sessions

Community centered venue that offers an inspiring immersion far from your typical hotel or conference center.

Listening to lectures

Diverse and varied in-person and digital interactive touch points that begin the minute you sign up. Join a community and do the work that will change the world, with support from leading experts who will guide your lab sessions.

TRANSFORM YOUR WORKPLACE

and positively impact your community

The Culture Impact Lab is designed around the Call for Culture Method™. Each step is a building block that will equip you with a CULTURE VISION AND BLUEPRINT TO BEGIN IMPLEMENTING right away.

You’ll start taking stock and learning your organization’s story, history, values, needs and internal culture BEFORE convening. This allows for a shared experience that’s personalized and brings a strong sense of intention, belonging, and connection around the work and how you’ll use your time in The Lab. We’ll invite you to view your role and the role workplace culture has in the social impact conversation.
You’ll build a draft 6 month communications plan. Inclusive and conscious communications sets the tone for change. You’ll learn how to articulate your vision, invite diverse voices into the conversation, encourage engagement. You’ll hear from experts on concepts that blur the lines between how we process the world around us and how that shows up when it comes to change within our organizations.
You’ll begin creating an identified and aligned culture ethos ready to socialize with your team and “bake” into the most sustainable parts of your operating model. You’ll hear from experts on concepts that center on the power of purpose, the science behind collective behavior change, and an anthropological approach to norms, rituals, social learning, and leadership.
Internal data such as past survey responses, departmental strategies, decision-making protocols, and org charts are important to assess and honor legacy and history while shaping the future. Learn about the latest innovation in data science that can help you shape a fit-for-purpose listening strategy to begin determining the future state of culture at your organization. Learn about broader contextual data and systemic trends that will impact how you directionally begin to develop your plan.
Depending on the track you choose, you’ll walk away with either a Blueprint or a Business Case to take back and begin to rally everyone in your organization, at all levels.
Our time together won’t end in The Lab. You’ll leave with a newly found community and a Call for Culture coach (up to 2 free sessions in 2024) to help you through the first 3 months of your implementation plan. Together, we’ll identify next steps for your organization. You’ll report on progress via a scorecard focused on culture discovery, change and sustainability and utilize your new community on conscious leaders.

Re-imagine the role of organizations in social change.
