We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Melissa Watkins. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Melissa below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Melissa with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
I come from a family of hardworking women. My family is all about helping our communities and making other feel comfortable.
I take those fundamentals with me everywhere I go. I call myself the stylish storyteller because helping clients tell their stories via social media platforms helps us connect and build better communities.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Simply, I help people tell their stories and showcase their services via various social media platforms.
I specialize in helping small businesses, entrepreneurs, content creators, and nonprofit organizations.
Individuals who operate in these industries often have a hard time finding consistency developing a posting strategy and helping audience understand what they do.
I simply the social media world by helping people create strategies that benefit their audience and allow them to engage authentically.
I host group development sessions, individual meetings, and source social media tips for the casual listener.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Being observant, learning how to read analytics, and listening to leaders in my industry.
As the saying goes, never aim to be the smartest in the room – that helps one to observant.
Learn from your competitors- that’s how one understands their industry better.
And, research the parts of your industry that others find boring – that’s what helps you become a leader.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
Being someone who is constantly online – I can become overwhelmed easily. Having a schedule that I stick to helps me immensely. I schedule everything! If it’s not on my calendar it’s not happening. Sticking to my calendar helps me to find rest.
I try my best not to work on Saturdays; taking the day to rest and enjoy things offline.
