I can say without reservation that she is a woman that is motivated to continually improve herself and the communities in which she lives and works, has a high degree of integrity and ethics, and genuinely loves helping others achieve success.

"Dr. Tojan Rahhal recently customized and presented a professional development opportunity for the UM Finance Division. She eloquently and clearly identified the many facets of diversity, and how core values and backgrounds shape an individual’s perspective. Her presentation included relevant examples of how to create a more inclusive workplace and environment. We very much appreciate the time Dr. Rahhal took to customize the presentation and make it relevant to our division."

"Dr. Rahhal presented to a group of Central Bank of Boone County employees on the topic of Understanding the Leader in You: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome. She customized her information to meet the needs of our group. She takes a challenging and difficult topic and makes it easy to understand and discuss. Dr. Rahhal is warm and welcoming which encourages everyone to participate. She’s knowledgeable and an expert in her field. I hope to work with her again in the future!"
"Dr. Rahhal’s webinar on implicit bias, stereotype threat and impostor syndrome was an excellent addition to our class. In addition to leveraging her strong social science research in her presentation, she organized her content around specific workplace situations which drew the class into a much richer deeper conversation."
"Dr. Tojan Rahhal did a great job of familiarizing the group on implicit bias, stereotype threat, and imposter syndrome. She was clearly very knowledgeable on the topics and did a good job of presenting the material. Imposter Syndrome has been very tough for me to shake, and felt like Dr.Rahhal’s suggestions were thoughtful and straightforward."
"We’ve had Dr. Tojan Rahhal present several workshops for the Missouri Women’s Business Center and she always does a great job. Her presentation style is approachable and engaging. She is clearly very knowledgeable in the material she presents. We always get great feedback from our participants that they leave feeling that they’ve not only learned more about the topic presented, but also about themselves."
"Dr. Tojan Rahhal spoke to my class in February, and I can’t recommend her more. She spoke to a classroom of seniors, preparing to network and present their portfolios in the hopes of winning job opportunities. She was insightful, clear and concise. She gave actionable advice, that the students were able to use immediately. I would highly recommend Dr. Rahhal and Alliance Professional Development to anyone looking to learn and grow in today’s fast changing environment."

"Dr. Rahhal’s talent for inspiring and advising graduate students is unsurpassed. Her combination of skillsets ranging from technical expertise to leadership are a potent combination for professional development coaching. As a graduate student, I applied to numerous funding opportunities (including the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) and the Environmental Protection Agency Science to Achieve Results (EPA STAR) program) in hopes of securing a funding source for my doctoral program. Due in large part to Dr. Rahhal’s instrumental advice and guidance, I received an honorable mention from NSF and, the following year, was selected for the EPA STAR program. Moreover, Dr. Rahhal introduced me to the UNC-CH Leadership Development Scholars Program; this program, hosted by the graduate school, encourages graduate students to plan and organize a professional development workshop to address an outstanding need in the graduate population. Dr. Rahhal has a passion and unique ability for nurturing talent in individuals; Dr. Rahhal’s input has been a great asset over the past four years and I sincerely look forward to working with her in the future."

"Tojan and her team at Alliance Professional Development have done a thorough analysis of complicated issues facing today’s academic student and young professional. Their workshops draw from personal experience and an up-to date incorporation of current literature to not only draw attention to these problems in the academic workplace but provide tangible and tried-and-true methods to address them. I walked away from this workshop with approaches to tackle my own issues with things such as impostor syndrome, as well as approaches to create my own open and successful environment moving forward. Tojan and her team were well prepared, spoke clearly and were incredibly informative in the workshop environment. Even better, the team was extremely approachable after the fact and has proven a valuable and continued resource for me. A tremendous connection – thank you so much!"
