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 do you empathize with someone when you don’t have anything in common?

Dr Cole Galloway started us off by pointing out that we have more in common with each other than we don’t have. Humans at the DNA level are all but identical. (I heard somewhere that if aliens looked at us, they wouldn’t be able to tell us apart, much like all ants look the same to us.)
Then Kevin Wash took it in a direction I didn’t consider when I asked the question stating: “There are several types of indecent humans who I have nothing in common with and I would have literally no interest in showing empathy with them.”
He’s right. And you can still work with someone even if you don’t agree with them and that doesn’t mean you have to empathize with their position if you disagree with it.
Stewart Wiggins pointed out that he has worked with several people who didn’t like him and who came up with excuse why opportunities didn’t come his direction. Through all of it he had to decide if he would stay or go and figured out how to survive in the work environment.
At the very end Kevin asked two questions that we will have to address in future conversations: What does empathy actually mean? And what do you expect when someone empathizes with you?
