    96 |📍Work From Anywhere: Ookla Internet Speed Test for Virtual Presentations
    Feb 21 2026

    Thank you for being a loyal listener🩷

    Before you go live on Zoom, Teams, or any webinar platform, run an internet speed test. In this Minicast Mastery episode, Kimberly Gilbert shares why testing upload and download speeds in every “work from anywhere” location helps protect audio/video quality, reduce lag, and improve the audience experience.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Test internet speeds before every virtual presentation, especially when traveling or working remotely.

    • Use Ookla (Speedtest) to check upload speed and download speed quickly and consistently across locations.

    • Your speed results can vary by device (phone, iPad, PC, Mac) and connection method, so test on the same device you’ll present with.

    • Audience members often assume buffering or glitches are the presenter’s fault, but many issues are on the attendee’s network.

    • Knowing your upload/download speeds helps you troubleshoot faster and set realistic expectations for live sessions.

    Mentioned:

    • Ookla Speed Test (O-O-K-L-A)

    • Episode 95: listen for a code word for a free Group Virtual Office Audit session

    95 |👎EPIC Online Leadership Fails That Kill Credibility (And How to Fix Them)
    Feb 18 2026
    Thank you for being a loyal listener! 🩷 When you’re leading on Zoom (or any platform), your presence is your message. In this week’s Work From Anywhere episode, Kimberli Gilbert goes full “rogue” (yes, including a granddaughter-approved ponytail) to call out the most common virtual meeting mistakes that quietly sabotage trust, authority, and engagement. If you’ve ever wondered why people seem distracted, disengaged, or less responsive in hybrid meetings—this episode breaks down what’s really happening and how to fix it fast. In This Episode: What Leaders Get Wrong Online Kimberli shares the recurring on-camera habits she sees in virtual meetings, trainings, and speaker sessions—often from highly accomplished professionals—plus quick fixes that instantly elevate executive presence. 1) The “Witness Protection Program” Look If your face is dark, shadowed, or backlit, your audience has to work harder to read you—and they will disengage. Leadership requires visibility, literally and psychologically. Quick fix: Put your light source behind your camera, not behind you. Natural window light works great when positioned correctly. 2) “Nostrils First” Camera Angles Laptop-on-desk camera angles create the classic low-angle view (ceiling + nostrils) that reduces authority and increases distraction. It’s not just unflattering—it signals low intention and low leadership presence. Quick fix: Raise the laptop to eye level (stack books, use a stand, or use a tripod setup). Aim for a straight-on camera line. 3) The Distracting Background Problem Busy, bright, or poorly placed background light pulls attention away from your message. Your audience shouldn’t be scanning your window glare, ceiling beams, or random backlighting—they should be tracking your ideas. Quick fix: Choose a clean, calm background and manage light direction. If you must work from anywhere, control what you can. 4) Glasses Glare + Micro-Distractions That Derail Trust Glare on glasses, constant screen reflections, and tiny visual disruptions create cognitive fatigue for viewers. Kimberly explains how seemingly “small” issues can make your audience tune out—even if your content is excellent. Quick fix: Adjust screen angle, lighting height, or use anti-glare strategies so your face (and eyes) stay visible and stable. 5) Cameras Off = Engagement Drops (And Everyone Notices) Turning off your camera in meetings impacts trust and participation. Leaders and presenters feel it immediately—talk tracks get scrambled, confidence appears shaky, and the room disconnects. Leadership takeaway: If you’re leading a hybrid room, you need a plan for camera-off participants and clear expectations that support engagement. Work From Anywhere Leadership Kit: What Kimberli Packs Working remotely doesn’t mean sacrificing professional quality. Kimberly shares a practical “portable studio” approach that supports credibility anywhere—hotel, home, office, or on the road. Gear mentioned in the episode: Ring light (or reliable window light setup) Microphone (audio is a credibility multiplier) Lav mic option for travel Tripod / stand Headphones (TOZO mentioned) JBL speaker Extra cords / power backup essentials Non-negotiables (Kimberli’s take): ✅ Microphone + ✅ Light If your audio is weak or your lighting is harsh/backlit, your leadership presence takes a hit immediately. The Brain Science Behind Why This Matters You may be saying the right words—but if your video setup forces the audience to “work” to see you (shadowy face), process you (glare/distraction), or tolerate fatigue (bad angles), they’ll disengage faster. Leadership on camera is about reducing friction so your message lands cleanly. Free Group Virtual Office Audit (Special Episode Offer) Kimberli shares a free code for a Group Virtual Office Audit—a fast, practical way to upgrade your work-from-anywhere setup and virtual presence.
