In this bonus segment, featuring Lance and Sky, who watched the most recent webinar where marketing consultant Sharvette Mitchell introduces her Visibility Framework - The Platform Builder® , a strategic model designed to help mental health professionals and therapists grow their personal brands.

This is their audio overview without spilling any of the beans!

The webinar presentation outlines several key "layers" for building a professional platform, beginning with defining specific products and services and establishing a consistent visual brand.

Sharvette Mitchell emphasizes the importance of content marketing through social media, email, and video to establish a brand voice that builds trust with potential clients.

She also encourages practitioners to pursue public speaking, media appearances, and book publishing to solidify their authority and expand their reach. Throughout the session, Mitchell addresses common barriers like introversion and lack of confidence, urging attendees to prioritize their mission over their fears.

The sources ultimately serve as a guide for clinicians to transition from quiet practitioners to recognized industry experts.
