What topics would you be happy to work with for the next five years?
When it comes to building an audience, you need to keep your information relatively consistent.
This means that you will be talking about the same – or similar – topics for a while.
When you think about all the different things you’re personally interested in, which ones do you feel like you could talk about for the next two to five years? (Joe Sanok)
To remain positive about your work, make sure that you actually enjoy what it is that you are doing and discussing.
How Anna wants to help new clinicians
1 – Confidence boost: a lot of new clinicians struggle with finding the confidence to begin counseling after finishing their studies.
[I want to remind] clinicians that they have the education and the will to make [therapy] feel good for their clients in a way that is valuable, even if they haven’t been practicing for 10 years. (Anna Saviano)
2 – Case conceptualization: Anna wants to help new clinicians learn how to view their clients holistically and address childhood, and any previous life stressors, when working with them in adulthood.
3 – Storytelling: what is the story that clients are coming in with? What is the narrative that they use to explain themselves and make sense of their situation?
4 – Help clinicians to build networks: clinicians often work alone, but it is important for their wellbeing as well as the success of their practice to work together.
I think a consultation group is [hugely beneficial] whether for supervision or just [to work] with other therapists who are doing similar work. To be connected to people doing that is [highly] important. (Anna Saviano)
5 – Education: helping clinicians to broaden their skills and feel empowered to use their clinical skills.
Solving your audience’s problems
Provide both free educational materials for your audience as well as the products and services that you sell.
Divide these up into different platforms and products such as in courses, podcasts, live streams, programs, email courses, PDFs, consultations, etc.
Identify the lack, the struggle, and the pain that your ideal audience experiences and exactly how you will help them to solve it.
