I have immensely enjoyed the Crossing Thresholds course. The design of the course was very well thought out with excellent opportunities to work with our peer groups. I found this as useful as the input days.

Jacqueline Reed, Managing Consultant, Department for Work and Pensions

Crossing Thresholds has been very successful in achieving significant increases in the number of women advancing their careers at DFID.

Minouche Shafik, Ex-Permanent Secretary, DFID

Thank you so much for your support over the last year. Crossing Thresholds has truly been an amazing experience. It has provided me with a strong network, which has proven very knowledgeable and supportive. I am extremely grateful to the programme and would highly recommend it to others!

Elizabeth Moriba, Policy/Programme Manager, DFID

It was really helpful to have one on one time to flesh out what I wanted. It's the first time I've ever had any guidance from someone who has no vested interest in my decision and the probing and questioning was essential to help me remember and refresh what it is I actually want in my career.

Harjit Athwal, Head of European Criminal Justice and Rights, Ministry of Justice

I just wanted to thank Fiona and Lindsay for an amazing Crossing Thresholds session yesterday. It was brilliant and certainly has made me hold a mirror to myself and become more self aware, as well as providing me with techniques. What I think was also so impressive was the way such a positive environment was nurtured for all participants. I personally felt that this has allowed me to focus on the way and potential I have to improve rather than on the negatives!

Georgina Aplin, Commercial Delivery Manager, Cabinet Office

The career development workshop that Thresholds ran for our staff received the most positive feedback that we have ever had for a development course.

Colin Adams, Department for Education

Crossing Thresholds has a winning formula - simple techniques, speakers and space for participants to focus on their strengths.

Jennifer Cole, Team Leader, Counter Terrorism Department, FCO

[Threshold Programme for Leaders] makes a real connection with what our jobs are about. It’s not about gloss or theory, but what I’m trying to achieve and ways to be more effective in doing that.

Carys Evans, Deputy Director, Welsh Assembly Government

Thresholds has been great, absolutely invaluable. I am feeling much more empowered about my future plans. And I have also really valued the fellowship and friendship with the other group members along the way, as well as the literature and handouts.

Esme Gaussen, Researcher, National Audit Office

I can't recommend Crossing Thresholds enough! I found it really useful for my career development and actually thinking about where I want to be in 3 or 5 years time. It's the best course I have ever been on.

Jas Mayer, Strategic Communications Manager, DFID

The whole [Communicate With Impact] course was jam-packed with useful activities and information. Not a moment was wasted or an activity not useful. Best training I have ever been on (and I've done a few!).

Rebecca Calder, Senior Social Development Advisor, DFID

An excellent programme [Crossing Thresholds] which provided really good opportunities to see myself differently and to think more broadly about my future. Fantastic input from a wide range of senior civil servants. Great peer group support across government departments.

Rebecca Baumgartner, Deputy Director, UK Border Agency

Being part of the TPFL programme has been a fantastic experience. I developed a much better understanding of what is important to me in my working life, what I want to achieve and how best I might do that.

Emma Boggis, Deputy Head of Mission, British Embassy Spain

The [TPFL] course has given me invaluable insights into being an effective leader in public service.

Helen Judge, Director of Sentencing and Rehabilitation, Ministry of Justice

The best thing about Crossing Thresholds was meeting all of these intelligent, honest, fun, genuine, hard working and giving women across the civil service - it was so uplifting to know and learn from this amazing group of women.
