1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,300
Hey, fellow humans.
2
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:04,350
Welcome to the Virtual Presentation Skills podcast.
3
00:00:04,790 --> 00:00:11,170
I'm Kimberli, your host, and today we are focused on virtual leadership.
4
00:00:11,170 --> 00:00:16,190
This is one of our shorter episodes, which is a 10-minute mastery.
5
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:20,400
Now you notice the wind is blowing, or maybe you can't hear it.
6
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,220
The wind is blowing, it's blowin' my hair all over the place.
7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:33,750
I am wearing just a cute little sweatshirt, and I'm sitting outside, which you hardly ever see me in an environment like this.
8
00:00:34,79.999 --> 00:00:49,160
But this speaks to virtual leadership, and how many of us in a leadership position struggle with taking the time for ourselves or to hang out with our families.
9
00:00:49,220 --> 00:01:04,49.999
And today I'm in beautiful Sun River, Oregon, and having so much fun with my daughter, my son-in-law, and the best part, the grandbaby.
10
00:01:05,549.999 --> 00:01:09,210
If you don't already have one, I highly recommend you get yourself one.
11
00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:10,960
I don't know what that looks like for you.
12
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:36,120
But anyway, oh gosh, I'm just so in love with that, that little chicklet, and I realized being here that I don't take enough time to just go out of town, relax, hang out with the family, have time to spend with the grandbaby during the day, not just on Tuesdays.
13
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Tuesdays are my glama day, which I'm very excited for.
14
00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:41,170
Yes, I do glama, not grandma.
15
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:41,620
Mm-mm.
16
00:01:41,629.999 --> 00:01:42,899.999
Grandma's not a me thing.
17
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Anyway, getting back...
18
00:01:45,549.999 --> 00:01:47,559.999
I always get distracted when I start talking about her.
19
00:01:48,120 --> 00:02:08,090
Getting back to virtual leadership, it is so important to take time to just get away and hang out and have fun, and I decided to record the podcast today, again, you know, sitting outside in a very casual setting, just because it felt right.
20
00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:15,740
We're in a beautiful home, and there are plenty of places for me to stage a recording, but this felt right for me.
21
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:32,160
We guarantee to deliver value in this show in less than 10 minutes, and this is the show where we mix professional wisdom, a dash of humor, course, you know me, right, and a lot of really cool brain science.
22
00:02:32,190 --> 00:02:42,780
I'm a neuro linguistics coach practitioner, so I get to have an opinion about the brain science and how it's married to virtual presentation skills.
23
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,830
That's always been my niche.
24
00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:50,406.04686289
It's always fascinated me, the language of the brain, there's so many different variables.
25
00:02:50,406.04686289 --> 00:02:53,56.04586289
There's so many different characteristics.
26
00:02:53,56.04686289 --> 00:02:56,406.04686289
I mean, we're human, and we are very self-enchanted.
27
00:02:56,436.04686289 --> 00:02:58,746.04686289
We are made that way as humans.
28
00:02:59,56.04686289 --> 00:03:12,736.04586289
That's part of the reason we are so focused in the virtual office audits at Get Screen Ready on all of the elements to help make you successful in the virtual world.
29
00:03:12,906.04586289 --> 00:03:22,776.04686289
You may notice I am at the proper angle for my eyes because I stole a cooking pot out of the kitchen.
30
00:03:23,46.04686289 --> 00:03:24,396.04686289
So I am...
31
00:03:24,406.04586289 --> 00:03:27,266.04586289
I guess I could re-angle this camera just a little bit.
32
00:03:27,536.04686289 --> 00:03:27,946.04686289
There we go.
33
00:03:27,946.04686289 --> 00:03:29,16.04686289
That's probably a little bit better.
34
00:03:29,666.04686289 --> 00:03:34,396.04686289
Anyway, I didn't bring a riser with me, so I just make do.
35
00:03:34,566.04686289 --> 00:03:42,566.04586289
A cooking pot, a box, maybe a stack of baking trays or a little baking rack, whatever you have available to you.
36
00:03:42,566.04586289 --> 00:03:52,456.04686289
I think this is extremely important, and you can see I did bring my uber fancy Shure MV7 microphone, which I love.
37
00:03:52,616.04586289 --> 00:03:57,176.04586289
That's what I'm using to, to record today is Descript.
38
00:03:58,566.04586289 --> 00:03:59,336.04586289
Leadership.
39
00:03:59,536.04586289 --> 00:04:02,786.04586289
I know I digress, right? Leadership, back to leadership.
40
00:04:03,86.04586289 --> 00:04:10,366.04486289
Leadership is also about pivoting, and especially pivoting when you feel uncomfortable.
41
00:04:10,796.04586289 --> 00:04:17,396.04586289
That's the only way I know how to grow, is to immerse myself in a situation where I'm not an expert.
42
00:04:17,646.04586289 --> 00:04:26,106.04586289
I'm a student, and I learn like everybody else does, which is why I want to announce my new coaching programs.
43
00:04:26,466.04486289 --> 00:04:32,106.04486289
And obviously I've been a coach and a trainer for years, so this is nothing new to me, but the program is new.
44
00:04:32,726.04486289 --> 00:04:39,76.04586289
I am really good at Base44, and that's an app builder.
45
00:04:39,296.04586289 --> 00:04:48,216.04586289
If you want an app to run your business, you might wanna consider it, even if it makes you feel a tiny, tiny bit uncomfortable.
46
00:04:48,456.04586289 --> 00:04:51,996.04586289
It makes a lot of people really, really uncomfortable.
47
00:04:52,16.04586289 --> 00:04:56,576.04586289
I have folks that are in VIP Circle One, and that's already closed.
48
00:04:56,586.04586289 --> 00:05:06,716.04486289
VIP Circle Two and Circle Three will be built out and ready for new clients in the next, I would say, week.
49
00:05:07,396.04586289 --> 00:05:12,916.04586289
I have my first super AI agent really well trained.
50
00:05:12,926.04586289 --> 00:05:22,366.04586289
It's not perfect yet, but all of the automations that run my business, all of the backend integrations, Base44 does that really well.
51
00:05:22,596.04586289 --> 00:05:25,376.04586289
Now, it's not without frustrations.
52
00:05:25,756.04586289 --> 00:05:30,986.04586289
Obviously, as you're training a new super AI agent, you need to train it.
53
00:05:30,996.04586289 --> 00:05:35,86.04586289
You've got to be patient with it and use command prompts.
54
00:05:35,116.04586289 --> 00:05:42,526.04586289
I just sent out an email training to VIP Circle One that was a full command prompt email training.
55
00:05:42,806.04586289 --> 00:05:54,686.04586289
Anyway, that coaching is for s- these specific services, Base44, FreePik, Descript, which we're using today, and HeyGen.
56
00:05:54,696.04586289 --> 00:05:56,826.04586289
I'm s- I'm incorporating HeyGen as well.
57
00:05:56,826.04586289 --> 00:05:59,836.04586289
Those are services I've tested, I love.
58
00:05:59,836.04586289 --> 00:06:07,406.04486289
I've been working with them for a few months now, and just, it just landed in the right place in my brain.
59
00:06:07,956.04586289 --> 00:06:08,806.04586289
That's how I explain it.
60
00:06:09,946.04586289 --> 00:06:12,396.04586289
But I've always worked in the tech world.
61
00:06:12,896.04586289 --> 00:06:18,106.04586289
I think most of you know I was with Webex before Webex became Cisco.
62
00:06:18,106.04586289 --> 00:06:22,536.04586289
I went through that IPO, and that's really what pushed me into leadership.
63
00:06:22,546.04586289 --> 00:06:30,986.04486289
It wasn't very comfortable to go through that process, I prayed and prayed to be able to start my own business.
64
00:06:31,276.04486289 --> 00:06:36,766.04486289
And because of the IPO, it just catapulted me into this whole new world.
65
00:06:37,96.04486289 --> 00:06:41,46.04486289
And I've been working in the tech industry for 22 years.
66
00:06:41,316.04486289 --> 00:06:46,476.04486289
Some services you know, some you don't, but always incredibly exciting.
67
00:06:46,766.04486289 --> 00:07:10,284.04386289
Some of them have been really frustrating to learn, but once I get over that hurdle Being in a leadership role, you get to introduce new things to your teams, maybe your CEO, your CFO, and it's so incredible to create something that runs your business easier.
68
00:07:11,784.04486289 --> 00:07:18,454.04486289
I honestly don't need an admin anymore except for an admin that will run the super AI agents.
69
00:07:19,214.04486289 --> 00:07:22,894.04486289
Like Tony Robbins says, you're not going to be replaced by AI.
70
00:07:22,954.04486289 --> 00:07:23,494.04486289
You're not.
71
00:07:23,874.04486289 --> 00:07:26,814.04486289
You're going to be replaced by somebody that knows how to use AI.
72
00:07:28,374.04486289 --> 00:07:38,134.04486289
So I've been through times in my career where I have had to upskill, learn a new skill, apply that new skill to my job.
73
00:07:38,134.04486289 --> 00:07:41,274.04486289
So this really isn't anything different in my opinion.
74
00:07:41,304.04486289 --> 00:07:42,684.04486289
It's exciting.
75
00:07:43,534.04486289 --> 00:07:52,684.04386289
I have so many automations that run in the background and I'm continuing to build them every day and offer training on exactly what I'm doing.
76
00:07:52,954.04486289 --> 00:07:58,974.04486289
I built my first app from scratch, and it was pretty much in the middle of the night.
77
00:07:59,74.04486289 --> 00:08:04,214.04486289
I searched for 10 years to find somebody to create an app.
78
00:08:04,224.04486289 --> 00:08:14,454.04486289
I have all these fantastic products sitting on my hard drive collecting digital dust, and I just kept thinking, "There's no way.
79
00:08:14,474.04386289 --> 00:08:18,444.04486289
There's no way I'm paying 10 grand for somebody to create an app."
80
00:08:18,664.04486289 --> 00:08:24,714.04486289
Well, I found Base44 and Vibe Coding in the middle of the night.
81
00:08:24,904.04386289 --> 00:08:33,124.04486289
It takes a sentence that you feed into the app builder and it writes the code based upon your sentence.
82
00:08:33,174.04486289 --> 00:08:34,304.04386289
It's incredible.
83
00:08:34,624.04386289 --> 00:08:35,514.04486289
I am so excited.
84
00:08:35,704.04486289 --> 00:08:44,24.04486289
And now some people might be at a higher level than what I'm at, but I'm not interested in becoming a coder per se.
85
00:08:44,274.04486289 --> 00:08:51,4.04486289
I did take Python training at one point in time, but I was so bored with it I just gave up.
86
00:08:51,484.04386289 --> 00:09:03,84.04386289
If you want to reach out and learn more about AI, and particularly Base44 is the one I'm most excited about, and Freepik as well, just reach out.
87
00:09:03,264.04286289 --> 00:09:10,524.04386289
You never know when I'm going to open another coaching program or a training program based upon the demand.
88
00:09:10,844.04386289 --> 00:09:14,804.04386289
So don't forget to like the show, follow the show, share the show.
89
00:09:15,724.04386289 --> 00:09:17,24.04386289
Listen to the show.
90
00:09:17,284.04386289 --> 00:09:19,574.04286289
Maybe go back and listen to previous episodes.
91
00:09:19,574.04386289 --> 00:09:26,224.04386289
The last episode was with Candace Cox, and talk about a female trailblazer.
92
00:09:26,434.04386289 --> 00:09:32,134.04386289
She ran her business for 40 years, Candace Cox in the previous episode.
93
00:09:32,154.04386289 --> 00:09:33,384.04386289
Talk about leadership.
94
00:09:33,684.04386289 --> 00:09:37,974.04386289
She shared some skills with me that I was very grateful to receive.
95
00:09:38,174.04386289 --> 00:09:44,64.04386289
I look forward to meeting you in the next episode where we go live from the waist up
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,300
Hey, fellow humans.
2
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:04,350
Welcome to the Virtual Presentation Skills podcast.
3
00:00:04,790 --> 00:00:11,170
I'm Kimberli, your host, and today we are focused on virtual leadership.

This is one of our shorter episodes, which is a 10-minute mastery.
5
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:20,400
Now you notice the wind is blowing, or maybe you can't hear it.
6
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,220
The wind is blowing, it's blowin' my hair all over the place.
7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:33,750
I am wearing just a cute little sweatshirt, and I'm sitting outside, which you hardly ever see me in an environment like this.
8
00:00:34,79.999 --> 00:00:49,160
But this speaks to virtual leadership, and how many of us in a leadership position struggle with taking the time for ourselves or to hang out with our families.
9
00:00:49,220 --> 00:01:04,49.999
And today I'm in beautiful Sun River, Oregon, and having so much fun with my daughter, my son-in-law, and the best part, the grandbaby.
10
00:01:05,549.999 --> 00:01:09,210
If you don't already have one, I highly recommend you get yourself one.
11
00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:10,960
I don't know what that looks like for you.
12
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:36,120
But anyway, oh gosh, I'm just so in love with that, that little chicklet, and I realized being here that I don't take enough time to just go out of town, relax, hang out with the family, have time to spend with the grandbaby during the day, not just on Tuesdays.
13
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Tuesdays are my glama day, which I'm very excited for.
14
00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:41,170
Yes, I do glama, not grandma.
15
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:41,620
Mm-mm.
16
00:01:41,629.999 --> 00:01:42,899.999
Grandma's not a me thing.
17
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Anyway, getting back...
18
00:01:45,549.999 --> 00:01:47,559.999
I always get distracted when I start talking about her.
19
00:01:48,120 --> 00:02:08,090
Getting back to virtual leadership, it is so important to take time to just get away and hang out and have fun, and I decided to record the podcast today, again, you know, sitting outside in a very casual setting, just because it felt right.
20
00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:15,740
We're in a beautiful home, and there are plenty of places for me to stage a recording, but this felt right for me.
21
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:32,160
We guarantee to deliver value in this show in less than 10 minutes, and this is the show where we mix professional wisdom, a dash of humor, course, you know me, right, and a lot of really cool brain science.
22
00:02:32,190 --> 00:02:42,780
I'm a neuro linguistics coach practitioner, so I get to have an opinion about the brain science and how it's married to virtual presentation skills.
23
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,830
That's always been my niche.
24
00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:50,406.04686289
It's always fascinated me, the language of the brain, there's so many different variables.
25
00:02:50,406.04686289 --> 00:02:53,56.04586289
There's so many different characteristics.
26
00:02:53,56.04686289 --> 00:02:56,406.04686289
I mean, we're human, and we are very self-enchanted.
27
00:02:56,436.04686289 --> 00:02:58,746.04686289
We are made that way as humans.
28
00:02:59,56.04686289 --> 00:03:12,736.04586289
That's part of the reason we are so focused in the virtual office audits at Get Screen Ready on all of the elements to help make you successful in the virtual world.
29
00:03:12,906.04586289 --> 00:03:22,776.04686289
You may notice I am at the proper angle for my eyes because I stole a cooking pot out of the kitchen.
30
00:03:23,46.04686289 --> 00:03:24,396.04686289
So I am...
31
00:03:24,406.04586289 --> 00:03:27,266.04586289
I guess I could re-angle this camera just a little bit.
32
00:03:27,536.04686289 --> 00:03:27,946.04686289
There we go.
33
00:03:27,946.04686289 --> 00:03:29,16.04686289
That's probably a little bit better.
34
00:03:29,666.04686289 --> 00:03:34,396.04686289
Anyway, I didn't bring a riser with me, so I just make do.
35
00:03:34,566.04686289 --> 00:03:42,566.04586289
A cooking pot, a box, maybe a stack of baking trays or a little baking rack, whatever you have available to you.
36
00:03:42,566.04586289 --> 00:03:52,456.04686289
I think this is extremely important, and you can see I did bring my uber fancy Shure MV7 microphone, which I love.
37
00:03:52,616.04586289 --> 00:03:57,176.04586289
That's what I'm using to, to record today is Descript.
38
00:03:58,566.04586289 --> 00:03:59,336.04586289
Leadership.
39
00:03:59,536.04586289 --> 00:04:02,786.04586289
I know I digress, right? Leadership, back to leadership.
40
00:04:03,86.04586289 --> 00:04:10,366.04486289
Leadership is also about pivoting, and especially pivoting when you feel uncomfortable.
41
00:04:10,796.04586289 --> 00:04:17,396.04586289
That's the only way I know how to grow, is to immerse myself in a situation where I'm not an expert.
42
00:04:17,646.04586289 --> 00:04:26,106.04586289
I'm a student, and I learn like everybody else does, which is why I want to announce my new coaching programs.
43
00:04:26,466.04486289 --> 00:04:32,106.04486289
And obviously I've been a coach and a trainer for years, so this is nothing new to me, but the program is new.
44
00:04:32,726.04486289 --> 00:04:39,76.04586289
I am really good at Base44, and that's an app builder.
45
00:04:39,296.04586289 --> 00:04:48,216.04586289
If you want an app to run your business, you might wanna consider it, even if it makes you feel a tiny, tiny bit uncomfortable.
46
00:04:48,456.04586289 --> 00:04:51,996.04586289
It makes a lot of people really, really uncomfortable.
47
00:04:52,16.04586289 --> 00:04:56,576.04586289
I have folks that are in VIP Circle One, and that's already closed.
48
00:04:56,586.04586289 --> 00:05:06,716.04486289
VIP Circle Two and Circle Three will be built out and ready for new clients in the next, I would say, week.
49
00:05:07,396.04586289 --> 00:05:12,916.04586289
I have my first super AI agent really well trained.
50
00:05:12,926.04586289 --> 00:05:22,366.04586289
It's not perfect yet, but all of the automations that run my business, all of the backend integrations, Base44 does that really well.
51
00:05:22,596.04586289 --> 00:05:25,376.04586289
Now, it's not without frustrations.
52
00:05:25,756.04586289 --> 00:05:30,986.04586289
Obviously, as you're training a new super AI agent, you need to train it.
53
00:05:30,996.04586289 --> 00:05:35,86.04586289
You've got to be patient with it and use command prompts.
54
00:05:35,116.04586289 --> 00:05:42,526.04586289
I just sent out an email training to VIP Circle One that was a full command prompt email training.
55
00:05:42,806.04586289 --> 00:05:54,686.04586289
Anyway, that coaching is for s- these specific services, Base44, FreePik, Descript, which we're using today, and HeyGen.
56
00:05:54,696.04586289 --> 00:05:56,826.04586289
I'm s- I'm incorporating HeyGen as well.
57
00:05:56,826.04586289 --> 00:05:59,836.04586289
Those are services I've tested, I love.
58
00:05:59,836.04586289 --> 00:06:07,406.04486289
I've been working with them for a few months now, and just, it just landed in the right place in my brain.
59
00:06:07,956.04586289 --> 00:06:08,806.04586289
That's how I explain it.
60
00:06:09,946.04586289 --> 00:06:12,396.04586289
But I've always worked in the tech world.
61
00:06:12,896.04586289 --> 00:06:18,106.04586289
I think most of you know I was with Webex before Webex became Cisco.
62
00:06:18,106.04586289 --> 00:06:22,536.04586289
I went through that IPO, and that's really what pushed me into leadership.
63
00:06:22,546.04586289 --> 00:06:30,986.04486289
It wasn't very comfortable to go through that process, I prayed and prayed to be able to start my own business.
64
00:06:31,276.04486289 --> 00:06:36,766.04486289
And because of the IPO, it just catapulted me into this whole new world.
65
00:06:37,96.04486289 --> 00:06:41,46.04486289
And I've been working in the tech industry for 22 years.
66
00:06:41,316.04486289 --> 00:06:46,476.04486289
Some services you know, some you don't, but always incredibly exciting.
67
00:06:46,766.04486289 --> 00:07:10,284.04386289
Some of them have been really frustrating to learn, but once I get over that hurdle Being in a leadership role, you get to introduce new things to your teams, maybe your CEO, your CFO, and it's so incredible to create something that runs your business easier.
68
00:07:11,784.04486289 --> 00:07:18,454.04486289
I honestly don't need an admin anymore except for an admin that will run the super AI agents.
69
00:07:19,214.04486289 --> 00:07:22,894.04486289
Like Tony Robbins says, you're not going to be replaced by AI.
70
00:07:22,954.04486289 --> 00:07:23,494.04486289
You're not.
71
00:07:23,874.04486289 --> 00:07:26,814.04486289
You're going to be replaced by somebody that knows how to use AI.
72
00:07:28,374.04486289 --> 00:07:38,134.04486289
So I've been through times in my career where I have had to upskill, learn a new skill, apply that new skill to my job.
73
00:07:38,134.04486289 --> 00:07:41,274.04486289
So this really isn't anything different in my opinion.
74
00:07:41,304.04486289 --> 00:07:42,684.04486289
It's exciting.
75
00:07:43,534.04486289 --> 00:07:52,684.04386289
I have so many automations that run in the background and I'm continuing to build them every day and offer training on exactly what I'm doing.
76
00:07:52,954.04486289 --> 00:07:58,974.04486289
I built my first app from scratch, and it was pretty much in the middle of the night.
77
00:07:59,74.04486289 --> 00:08:04,214.04486289
I searched for 10 years to find somebody to create an app.
78
00:08:04,224.04486289 --> 00:08:14,454.04486289
I have all these fantastic products sitting on my hard drive collecting digital dust, and I just kept thinking, "There's no way.
79
00:08:14,474.04386289 --> 00:08:18,444.04486289
There's no way I'm paying 10 grand for somebody to create an app."
80
00:08:18,664.04486289 --> 00:08:24,714.04486289
Well, I found Base44 and Vibe Coding in the middle of the night.
81
00:08:24,904.04386289 --> 00:08:33,124.04486289
It takes a sentence that you feed into the app builder and it writes the code based upon your sentence.
82
00:08:33,174.04486289 --> 00:08:34,304.04386289
It's incredible.
83
00:08:34,624.04386289 --> 00:08:35,514.04486289
I am so excited.
84
00:08:35,704.04486289 --> 00:08:44,24.04486289
And now some people might be at a higher level than what I'm at, but I'm not interested in becoming a coder per se.
85
00:08:44,274.04486289 --> 00:08:51,4.04486289
I did take Python training at one point in time, but I was so bored with it I just gave up.
86
00:08:51,484.04386289 --> 00:09:03,84.04386289
If you want to reach out and learn more about AI, and particularly Base44 is the one I'm most excited about, and Freepik as well, just reach out.
87
00:09:03,264.04286289 --> 00:09:10,524.04386289
You never know when I'm going to open another coaching program or a training program based upon the demand.
88
00:09:10,844.04386289 --> 00:09:14,804.04386289
So don't forget to like the show, follow the show, share the show.
89
00:09:15,724.04386289 --> 00:09:17,24.04386289
Listen to the show.
90
00:09:17,284.04386289 --> 00:09:19,574.04286289
Maybe go back and listen to previous episodes.
91
00:09:19,574.04386289 --> 00:09:26,224.04386289
The last episode was with Candace Cox, and talk about a female trailblazer.
92
00:09:26,434.04386289 --> 00:09:32,134.04386289
She ran her business for 40 years, Candace Cox in the previous episode.
93
00:09:32,154.04386289 --> 00:09:33,384.04386289
Talk about leadership.
94
00:09:33,684.04386289 --> 00:09:37,974.04386289
She shared some skills with me that I was very grateful to receive.
95
00:09:38,174.04386289 --> 00:09:44,64.04386289
I look forward to meeting you in the next episode where we go live from the waist up
