Do you have a story or just a history?

Posted By Sally Inkster, Brand Specialist, 17 February 2023

That is a question I asked recently and the feedback was amazing. I also said that showing your vulnerability to others is a way of, not looking for sympathy, but a way of people being able to connect with you and feel they know who you are.

One of the lines I say to my clients is...

What if I told you that no-one knows who you are until you’ve found, written and told your brand story

A look of panic crosses their faces!

So here I thought I would share a bit of my story - not because it's as traumatic as many others, (that's not the point) but to put a frame of reference as to why and how I  came to be where I am. It that has nothing to do with wanting sympathy, judgement or anything else, it is just a look at all the events that made me, me. It also gives the reader the chance to see a connection with me maybe based on one of my experiences.

I am an ex-nurse who wanted more time and flexible working life

During my twenties I worked as a ward sister on a cancer ward for many years, including end of life nursing. Working so closely to patients and getting to know them was such a privilege. I saw first-hand what losing your health means to the individual and the ripple effect it has on friends and family. Since this role, which I loved dearly, I’m now very aware that I have more yesterdays than tomorrows.

I then discovered a way to bring all of my experiences together

As a Ward Sister and Nurse Specialist on an oncology unit, my passion for psychology was always part of my career and bringing up 3 girls just added to that.

Tapping into my creativity allowed me (with children) to have an amazing career as a stylist which spanned 14 years.
My past history and experience have enabled me to grow my Personal Brand Business to help lots of people like you, become more aware, secure and happy with their own personal brand and how to use it in developing their business growth.

I have a passion for Training and passing on my knowledge, and I have many free resources and mini-courses that you can take part in.

I also love networking and speaking at events where I am very at home on the stage. With various members of the family being
singers/actors I’ve always had a passion for working with an audience!

 

Now, you have a little insight into my story, do you understand a little more about me and what I do? And why!

 

I’d love to hear your story! Let’s chat, you can grab me for a coffee by booking in here https://calendly.com/sallyinkster/20-min-getting-to-know-you
