| 117. Virtual Stage Presence: How to Command Attention When Speaking Online | 28 Jan 2026 | 00:18:05 | |
REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar In this episode, Kimberly tackles the reality that most professionals aren't prepared for: virtual speaking is now the norm, not the exception. With 86% of job interviews conducted virtually and 90% of hiring managers expecting remote presentations to continue, your ability to command attention through a screen is just as important as your ability to command a room. But here's the problem: most people treat virtual speaking like it's easier than in-person speaking. They assume they can wing it because they're in their own space with notes in front of them. The truth? Virtual speaking is a completely different skill set—and if you're using in-person strategies in a virtual environment, you're setting yourself up to fail. In this episode, Kimberly breaks down exactly why virtual speaking feels harder (spoiler: you're not imagining it) and gives you five specific strategies to dramatically improve your virtual stage presence. What You'll Learn in this Episode:

But I found that may not be the case, it's more likely that you've outgrown your desire to be in that role." "From what I've learned, many times, we're not taught how to be strategic with our careers. We're taught to get a new job, do the job, and then figure out how to get another job. We've spent more time learning how to get a job than how to build strategy in the job that you have, and thinking about your career outside of that one job that you're holding."

QUOTABLES: "I described how people with learning disabilities or ADHD — when they are looking at their jobs, the job should be challenging, not hard." – Alexandra Gilbert
"Inattentive ADHD is someone who's a little spacey and looks like they're paying attention, but not mentally there. Someone who has hyperactive ADHD, in women, tends to be those who are very talkative, chatty, [or] social butterflies. And they're usually very high achieving women." – Alexandra Gilbert
"One of those things that makes it really hard for people with ADHD is they feel like they need to compare themselves to people who are neurotypical. They fundamentally think differently [and] work differently." – Alexandra Gilbert

| EP93: How to Give and Receive Constructive Feedback at Work (Without Anxiety or Conflict) | 26 Jul 2023 | 00:24:15 | |
Feedback is one of the most crucial things you need to be able to give and receive in the workplace, and yet it is one of the biggest things people are afraid to do in the workplace! Fear not, because in this episode, Kimberly will be talking about the basic steps of effective feedback, the different ways to communicate your feedback, and the things to be mindful of before you decide to offer someone your feedback in the workplace. Believe it or not, giving and receiving feedback can be an incredibly positive and pleasant experience! Tune in to this episode to find out how to master the art of feedback today.
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES: "Radical transparency helps bring everyone along the journey, even if the feedback you're sharing, if the new initiative that's happening, if there's some change in management – doesn't necessarily mean that everyone's reaction is going to be good, and that's okay. What's important is that people are in the know." "Sometimes, feedback needs to be communicated through several different channels. Not every piece of feedback has to be attributed to the person. It can be generalized feedback."
