Meet Nicol Cunningham

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nicol Cunningham. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Nicol, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.

I keep my creativity alive by getting inspiration from others online, getting outside in nature, and from ideas in my mind. I find that there are so many amazing creatives online that the ideas to foster creativity are endless. To get energized to get creative I like to get outside in the warm sunshine for a few minutes. The ideas that come to my own mind are ones that have come from my own experiences with fashion, life, and health.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I am a content creator, social media manager, and teacher. The most exciting and special thing about the work that I do is that I get to make other excited and inspired about their vision. I help them to feel empowered and successful. The most exciting thing about content creating is getting to work with small emerging brands and supporting them on their new adventure. The most special thing about teaching is getting to empower small children, helping them to feel confident in their abilities. The most exciting thing about being a social media manager is helping brands bring their vision to life, supporting them as they grow and become big. Recently my husband and I started our own digital marketing company called Greenline Digital, we help brands with their branding, website, social media, etc. We currently have five clients and are excited for the opportunity to work with more.

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 were most impactful in my journey have been, humility, patience and joy, without these the paths I’ve chosen would have never been possible. The three skills that have been most impactful in my journey are organization, self-discipline, and not being afraid to learn something new. The areas of knowledge that have been most impactful in my journey are social media, management, and target audience. My advice to those just staring their journey and how they can best develop or improve on these things would be to not be afraid to make mistakes, take advantage of those who believe in you, look for opportunities to work with others who can’t fully hire you, and always find something in your work that brings you joy.

What would you advise – going all in on your strengths or investing on areas where you aren’t as strong to be more well-rounded?

I think that it’s good to be balanced, if you go all in with your strengths you’re going to missing parts of yourself that may be needed if your circumstances change. I would always suggest investing effort into improving and becoming well rounded in many things so you can be useful no matter what or where you are in your life. Life changes and circumstances change so you have to be prepared, if you only focus on your strengths you’ll miss out on opportunities that only work for people who are well-rounded. I’ll share my own story, I’ve had many different jobs and my circumstances in life have changed a few times. I’ve taught violin, cleaned houses, worked in project management, content creation, school teacher, and social media manager. If I never took these opportunities of work then my skill set would be very limited but because I’ve been open to many types of work I’ve become well-rounded and developed many different qualities that can be used across a variety of work.
