PERSONAL BIO

A Brave Thought is the definition of my name in Farsi: Andisheh Shojaee. But I’m known as Sheh.

I was inspired very young to have a voice and “be the change” I wished to see in the world, so I embarked on a journey to elevate myself first and strategically navigated my career for growth and impact.

My goal of becoming a transformative leader came from a deep-rooted understanding of the importance of representation. I feel privileged to use my voice as an instrument for good by advocating for others at boardroom tables and on real and virtual stages. I’m a fierce champion for heart-centered inclusive leadership, gender parity, protecting people and the planet and de-stigmatizing mental health.

If you’ve been in my orbit, you know my goal is to leave people and places better than I find them. I’m a passionate volunteer and advisor in my community for causes close to my heart and a boost to as many people as possible. I give however I can because I remember what it’s like to not have much, including hope.

Truth is, I’ve achieved more than I thought I would, quicker than I thought I could, and I’m determined to pay all my blessings forward and build a legacy that makes ME incredibly proud.

A proud 2nd generation Canadian-Persian and Francophone, I was born in Montreal and grew up in Vancouver. My love for the stage started young as a music, dance and theatre fanatic and my confidence grew in speech competitions as a teen. I love traveling the globe but I’m fortunate to call beautiful British Columbia, Canada my home. I’m grateful every day for the life I get to live surrounded by nature and the ocean with my wonderful husband.
