Meet Balbir Pabila, Entrepreneur of LegalSheild

My life began in India, then as a child we moved to a little town in England, UK, where I learnt values that are still with me today. That’s where I got the love for sewing, cooking, gardening and I still do it today! My IT career started accidentally (I thought I wanted to be an accountant!). I found myself spending more and more time in the computer laboratory, and yes, that’s where we had to go to access any computing power before personal computers became a household item. My first job working in a software house, a male-dominated industry back then, was a bit scary. I was the first woman in that company’s software department and those early years were my foundation to logic, quality, integrity, teamwork and doing the right thing.

Fast forward a few years, and I arrived in Ontario with a husband and 2 small children. After a few years, I started working in IT again when my youngest started asking too many “why” questions and I enrolled her in Montessori school. I needed help from the experts for this one!!

Now my kids have graduated from different universities, and I get to do the things that I love to do.

My personal development journey is ongoing, being a good parent and role model to be a decent human being are very important to me as well as being a coach and mentor to others.

I volunteered at the food bank for a number of years, and for VON (Victorian Order of Nurses) I used to visit an elderly couple at their home. They thought I was doing them a favour but I was really doing it for me! I missed my grandmother terribly (who had passed away long time ago), so any grandmother was a treasure.

Now my life has taken me down a path to help as many individuals and families from a world that is sometimes unfair.

This has lead me to where I am today.
