Unleashing Your Sparkle: Personal Branding with Carole, Queen of Sparkle - Episode 96

Guest Spotlight: Carole – Queen of Sparkle This week, I’m beyond excited to welcome a truly extraordinary guest — Carole, also known as the Queen of Sparkle! Carole’s story is as captivating as it is inspiring. With only five years of conscious memory, she has an incredible perspective on life, purpose, and personal branding. As CEO of Words that Deliver, Carole is on a mission to help people craft powerful personal brands that speak for them before they even say a word. Her philosophy? Your brand isn’t just what you say; it’s how you show up. It’s the energy, presence, and story you tell before you even open your mouth. And it all begins with the story you tell yourself.
 
Carole believes in meeting people at their "point of possibility" — the point where self-doubt meets potential. By blending everyday life’s flavors with her lived experience and hard-earned wisdom, Carole helps others see themselves as winners. Her approach is not just uplifting, it’s transformational. ________________________________________
✨ What is a Sparkle Injection?
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or like you’re hiding in the shadows, this is where Carole’s concept of the “Sparkle Injection” comes in. But what exactly is a Sparkle Injection? Carole explains it as a mindset shift — an infusion of confidence, authenticity, and self-belief that transforms how you see yourself and how the world sees you. It's not just about looking confident; it’s about being confident. Here’s what we talked about:
🔥 How does only five years of conscious memory shape her approach to personal branding?
Imagine waking up one day with only five years of your life stored in your memory. How would you see yourself? What stories would you tell yourself about who you are? This experience has given Carole a unique perspective on "living in the now" and the stories we carry with us. It’s a fresh way of approaching personal branding, not as something we “build” but as something we reveal.
✨ How do you tell a story before you say a word?
Carole’s belief is that your personal brand is evident from the moment you walk into a room. It’s in your body language, your energy, and your presence. People make split-second judgments, so how you show up matters. She asks, "What’s the story you’re telling the world without even speaking?" Are you hiding behind doubt, fear, or uncertainty? Or are you stepping forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose?
💫 How can you rewrite your inner narrative to show up more authentically?
The most important branding conversation is the one you have with yourself. If your internal story is filled with doubt, fear, or negative self-talk, that’s the version of you the world sees. Carole encourages us to take control of our narrative, reframe our inner dialogue, and step into our power. Your personal brand isn’t just how others see you — it’s how you see yourself.
🎉 Why "sparkle" isn’t just for Christmas!
If you think sparkle is reserved for the festive season, think again. Carole says, "Sparkle isn’t seasonal; it’s for life." It’s the unique fingerprint you leave on people’s hearts and minds. It’s the emotional footprint you leave behind after every encounter. Every handshake, every smile, every conversation is a chance to leave a lasting impression.
Carole’s mission is to help people own their sparkle, embrace their uniqueness, and create a personal brand that is unforgettable. Because when you own your sparkle, you become unstoppable.

From Banker to Visionary: How Gary Cooper Turned Creativity into a National Service Powerhouse - Episode 95

🌟 Meet Gary Cooper: A Trailblazer in Story-Driven Marketing It’s always a treat to welcome exceptional guests to the show, and today is no different. Joining me is the extraordinary Gary Cooper, the Creative Director of Create The Image Productions. Gary’s professional journey is a testament to the power of reinvention and the courage to follow your passion.
Before stepping into the world of creative marketing, Gary spent over 14 years excelling as a Retail Manager and Bank Manager. But his entrepreneurial spirit called him to something greater—a way to combine his knack for relationship-building with a flair for storytelling through photography and videography.
Over the last 8 years, Gary has cultivated a national network of photographers, videographers, and creatives, ensuring his clients have access to a powerhouse team of marketing experts. Together, they specialize in creating Dynamic, Engaging, and Story-Led Visual Content that doesn’t just tell stories—it moves audiences and drives results.
🎥 The Secret Sauce to Successful Brand Content During our conversation, Gary opened up about the transformative power of high-quality content. Here’s a sneak peek into what he shared:
Video is king. Video marketing, particularly when enhanced with drone footage, is no longer optional—it’s essential. It’s the ultimate tool for showing off your brand’s personality and standing out in crowded markets.
Consistency matters. Your audience craves relevance, and a Marketing Content Library filled with vibrant, story-driven images and videos ensures you’re always ready to captivate their attention.
Know your ideal client. Tailored visuals that resonate with your target audience can be the difference between a sale and being ignored.
And here’s the cherry on top: Gary revealed an amazing Black Friday offer—a whopping 50% OFF his creative packages. So, if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your marketing game, this is your sign!
💌 Special Birthday Shoutouts and Global Love 🎂 A big happy birthday to everyone celebrating today! To those who might be facing tough times, our hearts go out to you. Sending you virtual hugs and reminding you that brighter days are ahead.

Questions from Our Listeners
Thank you to all the listeners who sent in these fantastic questions! Here are just a few:
• Jane from Orpington: “How do I know if I’m perimenopausal or menopausal? The terms are confusing.”
• Kate from Maidstone: “I asked my doctor about HRT, but they asked me which type I wanted. Isn’t it their job to know?”
• Candi from Trowbridge: “Menopause sounds scary. What can I do to prepare?”
• Sarah from Torquay: “I’ve tried HRT and exercise, but I still have symptoms.
What else can I do?” In reply to G Gitana …. - Fiona how your interest in women's health began?
What inspired her to focus on this area?”
My interest in holistic health and well-being comes from my longstanding interest in Human Biology. I'm 57 now, so that would be nearly 40 years!
When I completed my diploma in Applied Biology in Surrey, rather than stay on and do more study I decided to enter into the world of employment but couldn't find anything that suited me. I then decided to re-train as a Beauty therapist, with a special interest in massage therapy, and also took post-graduate studies in reflexology and aromatherapy. Shortly after I trained as a lecturer and gained my post-16 cert ed qualification. Since then I have taught all kinds of holistic therapy classes and also A-level biology in Spain to international students. I kept my hand in on the holistic side of things and took my massage couch to Spain with me. Having worked hands-on with women for 30 years when I recognized perimenopause in myself, I realized I had never learned about it, never taught menstrual health and also realised there was no one you could just book in with and say, 'bugger me this perimenopause is a bit tough, can you give me hand as I can't see the wood for the trees'.
Menstrual health is not covered under any clinical specialty. You don't ring your GP up and say I started my period, or I have really bad period pain. You are expected to manage on your own.
The same happens with perimenopause. So I have made it my mission to create as many touch points in the lives of menstruators where they can learn about and obtain safe, sensible and supportive advice about menstrual health across life stages.
Since then I have trained over 200 people to be menstrual health informed, including doctors and nurses, plus NHS health coaches and social prescribers.
I don't see it as women's health care. I see it as educating all people about their own biology, so they can make informed choices. Using the phrase women's health care is very outdated. It excludes and alienates people of all genders, when we should be focusing on intersectionality. I prefer menstruator and co-menstruator.
These are questions many women are navigating, and we’re here to provide real answers and support. A big thank you to Fiona, Ailsa, and Gitana, our incredible guests, and all of you who tuned in. See you next week, same time, with special guest Sheena King of the new group - 1230 TWC Amersham & Chesham. Until then, stay informed, stay connected, and remember, we’re here for you every step of the way! Take care…, same time, same place
