Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

How much emotion is too much for a public or work setting?

Monday Oct 17, 2022
When I worked in the corporate world, I knew that as a woman I wasn’t allowed to get angry. That wasn’t a thing. In an attempt to control that anger, sometimes I would get so frustrated that I would end up in tears.
(Men, on the other hand, don’t seem to have this problem. They get angry at work and it seems to be OK).
I often think about how businesses can create a professional environment where people can express their emotions in a healthy way — where they don’t suppress their natural emotions, but also don’t use their emotions to poison the workplace, like the toxic manager screaming and banging his fist on the table to intimidate his employees.
I spoke with my guests Ed Samuel, Dr. Mohan Ananda and Karen Loomis about when emotional expression is appropriate in the workplace, the role gender dynamics play and whether it’s enough just to have good intentions.
“What’s the real intent? If the intent is to hurt, I’m not a fan. If the intent is to show boat, I’m not a fan. But if the intent is true and it’s in the right place and the right time, I’m okay with it.” Ed Samuel, career coach at Sam Nova.
“If someone shows a positive attitude, I think that will encourage others to work together…if you show stress or fear, that will inhibit not only your work, but the team’s work.” Dr. Mohan Ananda, entrepreneur and author
“I don’t think it’s ever acceptable to lost control, lose your composure and to be excessive.” Karen Loomis, founder of No Moss Brands, professor.
Where do you think the line is between not bottling up and too much at work?
