Welcome to the Communicate Influence podcast! I’m your host Sheelagh Caygill, and I’m a journalist, writer, and comms professional based in Toronto, Canada. Why a new communications, marketing, and writing podcast? Well, I’ve been writing and blogging for years now. My current side project, communicateinfluence.com, is an excellent resource of question-and-answer interviews with industry leaders and creative thinkers.

Shifting to podcasting seemed to be a natural evolution. But not simply for the sake of podcasting. In our area of work, success, and creativity arise from a range of factors – in particular, continuous learning in the broadest sense of the phrase. Equally, success comes from many areas beyond our immediate focus. These areas include identifying trends, understanding the psychology behind motivation, and finding new ways to inspire and maintain creativity. So as much as this podcast will explore some of the essential aspects of communications and marketing, it’ll also dig into important influences that can shape your work and creativity for the better.

Anyone who wants to achieve a higher level of success in life, work, or creative ventures can join me here at the Communicate Influence podcast. Just like my website, communicateinfluence.com, I’ll feature an impressive lineup of guests from diverse work and creative and artistic backgrounds. I will give listeners solutions to common problems and actionable tips. The format will reflect the website: questions and answers. I’ll produce a minimum of one new episode a month, sometimes more.

Not least, what’s a podcast without listeners? I want to hear from you. What questions do you have, and what subjects do you want to explore? Who would you like to see interviewed?
