Sheida Ghadakchian

Sheida's journey into becoming a Thresholds facilitator began during her own participation on the Crossing Thresholds programme. Given her passion for developing herself and others, Sheida was instantly attracted to the prospect of being able to pass on the amazing lessons learned throughout the programme. Sheida has worked across the Civil Service in several countries for the past decade, and has benefited from the opportunity of working in diverse environments and appreciate the importance of fostering opportunities for women from all walks of life.    "What I really love about Thresholds is how it gives you the courage to go for what you actually want in your career and life. I love seeing that spark in our participant's eyes as they say out loud the goals and dreams they really have and want to achieve."  As well as being a Thresholds facilitator, Sheida is a Civil Servant working on issues surrounding domestic abuse and violence against women and girls. When not at work, she can be found either watching or participating in musical theatre.
