120 | 🌐Virtual Leadership When Life Is Happening: Pivoting Into AI Coaching

🩷Thank you for being a loyal listener! In this 10-Minute Mastery episode, I share what virtual leadership looks like when life is happening, why pivoting matters, and how I am stepping into new AI coaching with tools like Base44, Freepik, Descript, and HeyGen. In this short episode of the Virtual Presentation Skills podcast, I am talking about virtual leadership in real life. I recorded this episode outside in beautiful Sunriver, Oregon while spending time with my family and my grandbaby. It was casual, windy, imperfect, and exactly the right setting for this conversation because leadership is not about waiting for the perfect moment. It is about showing up, adapting, and knowing how to pivot. I also share why I am excited about my new AI coaching programs and the tools I am currently using to build apps, create content, automate business systems, and train AI agents.

119 |🙋‍♀️Virtual Leadership Lessons for Women in Business starring Candace Cox

In this Week One Rotation episode of the Virtual Presentation Skills Podcast, Kimberli Gilbert interviews Candace Cox about virtual leadership, women in business, mentorship, entrepreneurship, adapting to technology, and the human connection leaders still need in an AI-driven world. In this episode of the Virtual Presentation Skills Podcast, I’m kicking off our Week One Rotation focused on virtual leadership with a very special guest, Candace Cox. Candace is a retired business owner, professional development expert, mentor, and true barrier breaker. She built and led UniVentures for more than 40 years, at a time when it was far less common for women to own businesses, lead companies, or carve their own path in the professional world. Her story takes us from business school in the 1970s, to pharmaceutical sales in Nebraska, to corporate marketing research, to launching and growing a global professional development company. Along the way, Candace shares what it took to keep going, how curiosity became one of her greatest leadership assets, and why mentorship matters so much for women and emerging leaders. We also talk about virtual leadership, early remote work, satellite-based learning, webinars, AI, and the mindset leaders need when technology changes faster than we feel ready for. This conversation is about courage, curiosity, grit, reinvention, and the human connection that still matters in a virtual world. 🎙️ In This Episode * Why Candace’s story matters for women, leaders, and entrepreneurs * What it was like to be one of very few women in business school in the 1970s * How Candace moved from corporate roles into entrepreneurship * The mindset that helped her build and sustain UniVentures for 40+ years * Why curiosity is a leadership skill * How early remote work, fax machines, satellite broadcasts, and virtual learning shaped her business * Why mentorship can change the trajectory of someone’s career * What leaders should remember as AI becomes part of everyday work * Why humans still need human connection, even in a technology-driven world Key Takeaways 1. Leadership often starts with belief. Candace credits much of her confidence to parents who raised her to believe she could do anything she wanted to do. 2. Curiosity creates opportunity. Candace built much of her business by searching, asking questions, finding the right experts, and connecting the right people. 3. Mentorship matters. One of the strongest themes in this episode is the importance of paying mentorship forward, especially for women moving through uncomfortable professional growth zones. 4. Virtual leadership is not new. Before Zoom, webinars, and AI, leaders were already adapting through fax machines, satellite broadcasts, teleconferences, and early remote work. 5. AI is another transition, not the end of human value. As Candace and I discuss, technology changes the tools we use, but it does not eliminate the need for human insight, judgment, connection, and communication. www.virtualofficeaudit.com [http://www.virtualofficeausit.com]

118 | 😘 Our First Episode: Where It All Began

Thank you for being a loyal listener🩷 In my very first episode of the Virtual Presentation Skills Podcast, you'll hear from Kathy for a nostalgic conversation about where it all began, why virtual presentation skills matter, and how showing up with confidence, credibility, and presence in the 2D world can impact your career, communication, and income. I’m joined by Kathy Gadinas for a nostalgic and meaningful conversation about the real impact of virtual presentation skills training. Kathy shares how she used what she learned from my training before she officially became part of the organization, and how those skills helped her thrive in the insurance industry. This episode is especially meaningful because it marks the beginning of this podcast journey. I also share why virtual presentation skills are not limited to one industry. Whether you work in insurance, tech, aviation, healthcare, landscaping, coaching, sales, leadership, or any other field, the way you show up online matters. I’ve spent more than 20 years developing presentation training programs based on hands-on experience, brain science, and neuro-linguistic principles. After training more than 8,500 people in over 33 countries, I’ve seen firsthand how learning to communicate well in the 2D world can change confidence, credibility, client relationships, career opportunities, and income potential. This podcast is here to help you look, sound, and communicate with more confidence online. In future episodes, I’ll be sharing full-length conversations, short mini-casts, practical virtual communication tips, free resources, real-world coaching strategies, and honest conversations about the online presentation mistakes most people don’t even realize they are making. This is where the story begins, and I’m so grateful you’re here for it. In This Episode, I Talk About * Why this very first episode feels nostalgic and meaningful * Kathy’s real-time testimonial about the impact of my training * How virtual presentation skills apply across every industry * Why I developed these programs over more than 20 years * How brain science and neuro-linguistic principles shaped the way I teach * Why your voice, presence, camera setup, and visual environment matter online * What you can expect from future full-length episodes and mini-casts * How showing up well in the 2D world can impact confidence, credibility, and income * Why virtual communication skills are essential for meetings, sales, leadership, and client relationships Key Takeaways Virtual presentation skills are no longer optional. If you meet, sell, teach, lead, coach, interview, or communicate online, the way you show up in the virtual world affects how people experience your credibility and professionalism. Small changes can create major results. Your voice, lighting, camera position, background, facial expression, energy, and delivery all influence how people receive your message. The 2D world has real financial impact. When you look and sound more confident online, you create more trust. More trust can lead to better meetings, stronger client relationships, more sales, and greater income opportunities. This podcast is designed to be practical and fun. I’ll be sharing simple strategies, embarrassing tech lessons, virtual meeting tips, presentation coaching insights, and tools you can use right away.
