As I stepped into the airport terminal in Abidjan, I had a strange sense of familiarity and confusion. It was an interesting start- yellow fever guards, some enforced passport displacement, navigating around sim card salesman to find the correct minibus to the hotel on behalf of the surprisingly non-french speaking group of hotel guests. It was March 2016 and I feel this way every time I go to a different part of Africa. Somehow comforted by similarities but also aware of the completely particular environment I’m experiencing.

We've had an amazing day, running simultaneous sessions on 'Authentic Personal Branding' at IWD events in London, Bristol and Cardiff. In spite of the time constraints, people really engaged with the challenge of coming up with three "I" sentences which differentiated them from others.

We are delighted to be launching our new website! This has been a team effort, working with the fantastic designers at Inventive Design, Dom Gaskell at Motive Films, the whole team here at Thresholds and of course our wonderful participants and mentors.
