ROHEI started quite by chance.
It all began in December 2005 when, feeling that she would like to devote more time to the young, Rachel left her role as Vice President after 11 years of consulting. She turned away lucrative job offers, gave away suits and decided to focus on Trybe, a not-for-profit youth development organization she helped start in 2001.
Over the next 2 years, with the youth work successfully expanding overseas, having established Trybe in Thailand, she was happy in her new position and would have been contented to retire in youth work EXCEPT that she was constantly nudged by some of her friends to start something so that they could do something together.
Just a quick clarification: 'Doing something together' didn't really mean anything in specific at that point. It could have been running an ice-cream parlor, pet detective agency or a car workshop and it wouldn't really have mattered. The emphasis being on the 'together' part of the idea.
After continued persuasion (from her friends) and some wise counsel from respected advisors (not the same friends), Rachel decided, albeit a bit reluctantly, to start ROHEI Corporation in 2007.
Work officially started on the 1st April 2007. With the focused resolve of mountain climbers navigating the majestic expanse of the unchartered wilderness (minus the panic of impending death from running out of food and other essential supplies), the group of friends gathered to explore what they could meaningfully put together in terms of real value as a business.
Looking into the proverbial bag of career skills and experiences, the common thread amongst them was business consultancy. And so the work started in earnest.
Over the next 4 years, the team explored an eclectic mix of work from starting a plumbing school for a leading SME in Singapore, residential leadership programs for tertiary level students to Business Process Reengineering and Strategic Planning for MNCs and Government Agencies.
While all the work could be considered as successful given the steady stream of referrals that came in, the most accolades were consistently given for the impactful experiences in the training programs that we ran.
Today, ROHEI exists to Create Inspired Learning Experiences.
The team has expanded steadily and the focus is now very clear: our biggest contribution to any organization is our ability to craft learning experiences that leave a lasting impact. We aim to equip and upskill, to challenge limiting mindsets, to restore hope and build courage and, God-willing,
change lives.
It's this pragmatic idealism that continues to place people at the core of our business, whether it's the staff or the clients that we get to work with. It's not just about work, it's about our lives as a whole. We've found that if our people grow, so too will the business they engage in.
