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.”
