Yasmeen Sehbai

Yasmeen Sehbai serves as the CEO of The Global Schoolhouse Initiative. Holding a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Calgary, she has been an active member of the Canadian Counseling and Psychotherapy Association since 2009.

Yasmeen’s professional path has taken her across regions, notably Dubai and Canada, where she has rendered invaluable counseling services. Her significant contribution in restructuring the Dubai program for special needs children stands as a testament to her dedication in the field.

As an entrepreneur, Yasmeen successfully founded and spearheaded a registered Canadian charity. This initiative rapidly grew its presence to three global locations, and she now holds two pending patents for her innovative approaches. Her multifaceted role spanned from ideation and legal compliance to deployment and financial management.

Growing up in a bi-racial home in small-town Canada and experiencing life in a remote Pakistani village provided Yasmeen with a unique outlook on life. This diverse background has firmly grounded her in a life driven by purpose. Building on this foundation, she launched a charity focused on delivering free resilience education to underserved children globally. Her program’s emphasis extends beyond mere knowledge dissemination, aiming to genuinely transform the lives of future generations.

Yasmeen Sehbai embodies our founding principles. So it is with great anticipation and honor that we welcome such a distinguished speaker to the 2023 World Changers Power Women’s Summit.
