We’re celebrating 80 episodes of The SIXCOMMS Podcast!

A huge thank-you to all my incredible guests and to you, our listeners from around the world. Your curiosity and support is very much appreciated.

It’s amazing to think it all began with me, a complete novice, walking around my local reservoir, inspired by other podcasters and deciding to just hit record!

From those first 10 episodes with close friends (including my dad!) to co-hosting a season with the brilliant Melanie Staunton, spotlighting inspiring voices from Singapore, and interviewing talented authors and seasoned speakers, it’s been an incredible learning journey.

One thing has stayed constant: my curiosity about the Six Cs of Effective Communication and how they can help us all become better communicators.

In this milestone episode, I share six key lessons from podcasting, viewed through the lens of the Six Cs, along with practical tips to help you start, grow, or strengthen your own podcast with authenticity and impact.

Tune in, celebrate with me, and let me know which episode or guest has inspired you most!
