26 | 😃Minicast Mastery: Do You Ever Smile At Yourself? Genius Office Hack To Defeat Online Loneliness

Welcome back to Mini Cast Mastery, the show where we guarantee you’ll learn a new skill in under 10 minutes—and today’s skill might just change how you feel about virtual meetings forever.

In this episode, we dive into an often-ignored topic: loneliness and isolation in the virtual world. Whether you're tuning in from your virtual office, your car, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for anyone who's ever felt the strange quiet of being "on" but alone.

Kimberli shares a unique technique she developed called "Smile Back at You"—a practical mirror-based hack that helps combat virtual isolation, increase confidence, and reduce anxiety. This simple but powerful trick has 4 benefits for the virtual presenter.

You'll learn how mirror placement impacts eye contact and body language, how to use it effectively during calls or presentations, and the science behind why it works—including a little brain talk around dopamine and oxytocin.

💡 Key Takeaway:
Using a mirror during virtual presentations can help you feel more connected, energized, and present—and even smiling at your own reflection can boost your emotional state.

 

📆 Stay tuned—we are planning a live launch of the Smile Back at You program in August!
