Conversations that move people somewhere.
Joshua Rodgers brings together culture, leadership, bridge-building, community engagement, and social impact to create learning experiences that challenge how people think while equipping them to lead and engage differently.
From conference stages and leadership retreats to workshops and facilitated conversations, each experience is shaped around the people in the room and the questions they are navigating.
Whether your organization is developing leaders, navigating change, beginning its bridge-building journey, or looking to deepen existing efforts, participants leave with new ways of thinking and practical strategies they can apply within their teams, organizations, and communities.

Conference Sessions & Virtual Learning
Focused learning experiences designed for conferences, associations, professional development programs, webinars, and organizational learning.

“The goal is not simply to deliver information. It is to create the kind of experience that stays with people after the session ends and changes something about how they see, lead, relate, or act.”

The conversation continues.
The Culture Liberation Lab is also a space for ideas.
Through essays, commentary, cultural analysis, and thought leadership, Joshua explores the questions shaping how we lead, work, build community, understand culture, and navigate a changing world.
The Culture Liberation Lab Substack extends these conversations beyond the stage and learning room, creating space to wrestle with ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore what liberation, connection, leadership, and meaningful change can look like in practice.
Let's Find a Way to Work Together.
Not every meaningful opportunity fits neatly into a standard format, fee, or engagement model.
The investments listed on this page provide a starting point for many of our speaking and learning experiences, but we do not want budget alone to prevent an aligned organization or community from starting a conversation. Organizations operate with different resources and realities, and we are open to exploring adjustments in scope, format, partnerships, and other creative approaches that can make the right engagement possible while honoring the expertise and preparation required to do this work well.
We are also open to unique engagement and collaboration opportunities that may fall outside our traditional services, including conferences, convenings, panels, podcasts, guest lectures, collaborative learning experiences, community conversations, media opportunities, and other spaces where the Lab's perspective can contribute something meaningful.
If there is alignment, bring us the opportunity. We are always willing to explore what might be possible.
