Effective writing coaching and courses
Will my effective writing skills really benefit from writing coaching, courses or advice?
Let’s be honest. A simple search on the internet will provide you with umpteen tips, expert blogs and podcasts on how to do almost anything. And AI tools like ChatGPT will even do writing for you, although it will rarely capture your unique voice or message. Plus, we all know how it feels to participate in a promising course only to wonder afterwards: what did I actually learn, and can I really use it? But don’t worry. The Golden Thread’s personalized writing coaching, courses and advice deliver lasting results you can apply immediately.
Our effective writing coaching and courses help you develop proven best practices
You probably know far more about writing than you think. Our expert coaching and courses help you transform that implicit knowledge into practical skills through guided self-reflection. We challenge your assumptions about what makes a text compelling and why. Together, we’ll examine your writing through your readers’ eyes: how can your content and tone truly engage them? We provide you with tested building blocks and stepping stones to enhance both your texts and writing process. Through this journey, you’ll develop your own sustainable best practices.
What do we offer?
Our focused writing courses deliver maximum impact in minimal time. Join our in-person workshops (6 to 10 participants) of 2.5 hours with a one-to-one follow-up coaching session online for individual feedback on your current writing project.
Prefer individual attention? Then you can book a one-on-one online session for tailored writing advice without participating in a workshop. Use this time to receive specific guidance on your text or discuss broader writing and communication challenges you face. For teams seeking deeper insights, we’ll gladly facilitate an on-site reflective session at your workplace.

Testimonial
Great advice on professionalising our communication

Dave is an awesome sparring partner
Jerry van den Broeke
Senior Communication Strategist, Top Sector ChemistryNL
“I have worked with Dave many times in the last couple of years and with great pleasure. He is the person who immediately pops up in my mind when I want to translate complex issues like technical innovations or abstract challenges such as the circular economy into multilingual concepts, storylines, formats, visuals, animations, headings, etc. Then Dave is an awesome sparring partner. He is always open to improvements and has a high level of respect for the input and ideas of others. If you add to this his warm personality and great smile (even visible on a small Teams screen) then Dave is the man to have on board to give your communication a heart and soul and turn complex ideas into clear stories.”
Very happy with the coaching we received

“We are very happy with the coaching that we received while writing our policy document. Dave Thomas from The Golden Thread coached us really well, from defining a clear problem statement through to formulating concrete policy recommendations. As a result of this, we could confidently set to work and we wrote a well-substantiated policy document.
Dave was able to fluently translate our ideas into clear and effective texts. In addition, he helped us to structure the policy document and give it a logical composition. That created a well-organised and easy to read policy document.
Dave focuses not just on the content, but also on the writing style and use of language. Dave provided valuable feedback and tips to improve the texts so that the message was conveyed clearly and powerfully. Thanks to his great coaching we learned a lot, and we are proud of the policy document we finally produced.”
