We recently connected with Marchele Kimbrough and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Marchele, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
I developed my confidence and self-esteem by first understanding that loving me was a journey that would require a process and I had to be committed to it no matter how long it would take. I then had to understand that being kind to myself was the foundation of this development. How can you love something your’re not kind to? In being kind to myself, I had to forgive myself for mistakes I held onto from the past and vow to move forward acknowledging my progress and celebrating my victories in growth. Next, I had to acknowledge my positive qualities and attributes. I had to take into account beautiful inside and out and it is totally ok if others don’t see it or my value. It only matters that I see myself as all of the beautiful things I was created for.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am a professional makeup artist who specializes in looks which enhances the natural beauty. I take pride in providing professional artistry that displays the unique characteristics of each one of my clients. It is my heart’s desire to create a memorable and everlasting experience for each one of my clients. Life throws us many challenges and can make us feel inadequate, less attractive and can cause our self-esteem and view of ourselves to plummet. I’ve made it my goal to let each one of my clients know how beautiful they are naturally and I’m just enhancing a beautiful canvas. I’m absolutely nothing without their faces!
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?
Three qualities that I have held on to during this journey are:
*Professionalism. This is a must in any industry you put yourself into.
*Willingness to continue to learn. Industries change and you should posture yourself to always be ready to move along the course.
*Be relatable. Always be relatable as this will open the door to having long standing and consistent clients/guests due to them being comfortable in your presence.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
My family. I am so blessed to have the most supportive family members EVER. I know the question asks for anyone but there’s more than one lol. They have encouraged me with their heart-felt conversations and prayers throughout this journey. I’m a firm believer that this journey can’t be done solely. You need someone/people to help push you along the way. No matter how big or small your business is, you absolutely need encouragement.
