ENCORE: Creating a Sound Social Media Policy While Navigating the Intersection of Personal and Professional Life as Clinicians
Selling the Couch
Social Media
i've started using my business name, in the doctor k holmes name, in a lot of places that i had interest in. Just as a way to let my clients know it's me. I think one of the downsides of what i did with the separ nof the identities, in some ways, was not flagging to folks who i am. It raises the possibility for my pseudonym and appliance pseudonym to get entangled in something without our, either of us being aware.
As a clinician, do you have a social media policy? Is it something you’ve ever considered? If not, then this show may open your eyes to this topic. How can we as clinicians create a sound social media policy while navigating the intersection of our personal and professional lives?
Dr. Keely Kolmes is a psychologist, speaker, consultant, writer, researcher, and innovator in San Francisco and Oakland, CA. Dr. Keely’s work covers many areas, but the development of a social media policy is one specific area of expertise. Let’s hear more about this interesting topic from Dr. Keely!

WHO'S THIS GUY?
Hi. I'm Melvin. I'm a psychologist (PhD), entrepreneur, and online creator living in Philadelphia, PA.
In 2014, I began to think about how to use the therapy skills we learn in grad school, and in our clinical work into different realms (e.g., podcasting, consulting, online course creation, etc).
This allows us to serve others on larger scales while diversifying our income beyond 1 to 1 work.
I make podcasts and videos about business, tech, productivity, and lessons I'm learning from becoming the CEO of a lean, mean 5 person 100% remote team (we're not really mean..it just rhymed =P).
