about
The Company
The relationships we develop with clients is crucial to unearthing the potential and influence we collectively mine in our work with you. Experiencing trust, acceptance and respect for what we each bring to the collaboration, that dynamic emergence of what is possible between two or more minds and hearts is where transformation lies. Trusting what we cannot know, we leave room for what we cannot anticipate or plan for, what we do not yet understand. Transformation can be small or large. It is the magic, the extra-ordinary brought about by the relational dynamic and the process we embark upon with you.
We build the bridge together as we walk on it; designing, collaborating and risk-taking, finding openness to what we will learn and respond to along the way.
Founder
Helen Antebi
My background in Occupational Therapy and cognitive rehabilitation informs my coaching and mediation work. Prior to founding Helen Antebi Consulting, I owned a successful Occupational Therapy Practice in Ontario working with clients with acquired brain injury. I trained extensively, learning how the brain works and what it needs to heal, learn and adapt. Mental health and recovery were also a strong focus, supporting clients holistically through their transition to productive and meaningful lives post-injury and trauma.
In 2005 I transitioned my career with an initial qualification in executive coaching, complimenting my skillsets with certifications in psychometrics, transformative mediation and third party neutral facilitation, change management and virtual facilitation.
Emigrating from Glasgow, Scotland and blending cultural backgrounds has been challenging at times and offered me insight into roots, identity and belonging. This fine country of Canada embraced me with open coat of arms in 1987 (there is a wee British flag in the top left corner) 3 years to the date of my application. It has taken me many years to come to appreciate dual identities. While my Glaswegian roots remain strong in my heart and at times in my accent my instinct was to grow towards a light that attracted me. Life and work in Canada have been that light.
