Ten years ago, Rhodes founded Rhodes Perry Consulting with the commitment to upend the “epidemic of loneliness.” He wanted to help visionary leaders imagine and build belonging on a global scale, starting with the workplace. (After all, the average U.S. adult spends 90,000 hours at work in their lifetime!)

Since then, Rhodes has supported over 1,000 clients, delivered leadership programs and workshops to over 50,000 people leaders and managers, and has built a loyal following of over 10,000 people through the Belonging Membership Community and his company’s quarterly Belonging Circle gatherings.

Rhodes isn’t just an advocate for belonging at work; he’s a maverick in the truest sense. With two bestselling books, Belonging at Work, and Imagine Belonging, he has become a guiding light for organizational leaders, DEI practitioners, and visionaries committed to building cultures where safety, trust, and belonging are paramount.

Beyond his consulting and coaching work, Rhodes is at the forefront of workplace culture building and particularly belonging discourse as an international keynote speaker and host of two popular podcasts, Imagine Belonging at Work and The Out Entrepreneur.

His journey spans roles at the White House, the Department of Justice, NYC’s Administration for Children’s Services, and PFLAG National. His insights have graced the pages of Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and other notable publications. His company partners with industry giants, government agencies, and large nonprofits to foster workplace cultures that prioritize psychological safety and trust.
