On a Mission to Redefine the Faces of Leadership.

Through speaking, consulting or writing, my mission is to expand the stories, experiences and qualities of what type of leadership and by whom is necessary to create meaningful and transformational change.

What People Are Saying

  • Dr. Gillian Balfour, Provost & Vice-President, Academic, Thompson Rivers University

    “

    Thompson Rivers University (TRU) was honoured to have Rohene Bouajram co-lead our Women in Leadership series, alongside Nicole Kaniki and Evelyn Asiedu. Rohene's skillful approach to storytelling and honest conversation with community and senior leadership teams have created a much needed roadmap for our anti-racism work. I look forward to bringing Rohene's relational approach to our leadership development at TRU.

  • Dr. Punita Lumb, Co-Chair, The Critical Internationalization Studies Network

    “

    Rohene is a dynamic speaker who is able to address the nuances and complexities behind systems change and DEI in higher education. I had the pleasure of inviting Rohene to the Critical Internationalization Studies Network to address race and racism and its intersections with internationalization. I appreciated the wealth of experience Rohene brought to the discussion along with the ability to relate to various audience members including researchers, faculty and staff. Rohene is able to inspire and motivate - I'm looking forward to her future speaking engagements!

  • Dan Stefanson, Vice-President, Consumer Protection BC

    “

    Rohene facilitated a Microaggressions workshop specific to the needs of Consumer Protection BC. The workshop materials were well prepared and presented making them easy to understand. Most importantly, the session offered practical advice about how to identify and address microaggressions in the workplace.

  • Bree Carney, Canadian Immigration and International Education Professional

    “

    Rohene is without a doubt one of the most empowering and intelligent individuals I have ever had the opportunity to work alongside. Every time we collaborate, whether it be as co-instructors, presenters, or program creators, I leave the experience with new perspectives and the genuine delight that comes with being professionally and personally challenged. Rohene has this unique ability to harness the best attributes of each and every one of her team members, and empowers everyone to push themselves further to better understand the complexities in front of us, and how we can best navigate them that’ll both enrich the programming, and those participating in it. On a personal note, every time Rohene presents, I wish she would record an audio book. The way she eloquently and clearly discusses and defines complex subject matter needs to be a class in and of itself.
