GUAA Thought Leadership Sprint Fall 2026
Have you spent your career building expertise in international affairs or internal medicine? Do you know a ton about gardening, or have you ever watched a new TV show and said to yourself, “I could write a whole think piece about that!”?
Consistent thought leadership writing can demonstrate not just that you know how to do something well, but that you understand the broader trends shaping the field. It can turn a job or personal interest into consulting work, volunteer opportunities, speaking engagements, or a whole new career. Writing helps you organize your own thoughts and join a larger conversation.
If you want to finally start writing about what you know, or you already write sometimes but need help moving past procrastination, join us this Fall.
Writing and Editing for Communicators
When you approach a new writing task, do you know what will make your final product “good” and exactly how to make that happen? Or, have you learned your professional writing skills through trial and error, hoping for the best, or getting heavy edits from others? Maybe you like the idea of improving the “flow” or “tone” of your writing, or reducing your “wordiness” and being “engaging”—but what do those things really look like in action? Where can you actually find them in a draft?
In this course, you will learn to use a three-part framework for better edits that Bold Type LLC instructors have taught to thousands of professionals in our training programs.
