WHEN I TAKE THE MIC, PEOPLE LEAN IN
IDENTITY * INNER NARRATIVE * PRESENCE
Creating experiences – not just events – that shift how people show up, connect, and lead.
Not just another speaker – An experience
When Carole takes the mic, people lean in. Her Sparkle shows up before her voice does.
Carole Pyke is a keynote speaker, MC, facilitator, and storyteller who speaks about identity, the inner narrative, and presence and what changes when those three come into alignment.
She helps people reconnect with who they are beneath the noise, understand the value they bring, and show up in the world with intention and impact.
A Perspective That Changes the Room
Carole arrives at the mic with a rare and powerful lens.
Following a second stroke in 2019, she lives with retrograde amnesia and only five years of conscious memory. This reality has reshaped how she experiences the world – offering a fresh, present-moment way of seeing that cuts through habit, assumption, and performance.
While her memory was affected, her insight, creativity, and wisdom remain fully intact.
This fresh-eyes perspective is not something she performs, it is how she lives and audiences feel it.
What Carole Speaks About
At the heart of Carole’s work is one central idea:
The most influential story in your life is the one you tell yourself.
That inner narrative quietly shapes how you see yourself, how you show up, how you lead, and how others experience you. It becomes the compass that guides decisions, direction, and impact often without conscious awareness.
Carole explores how identity, inner narrative, and presence are deeply connected, and how alignment between them changes the way individuals live, lead, and connect.
Sparkle in Action
When people know who they are and understand the value they bring, individuals become more grounded, teams more cohesive, leadership more intentional, and cultures more human, connected, and effective.
This is where identity becomes influence, value becomes your currency of connection, and presence becomes impact.
This is Sparkle in action.
