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.

In the conversation I had with this group and posted yesterday, we defined manipulation as “harmful influence,” of a particularly sinister kind, because we don’t always know when it’s being done to us.
We decided we needed another ten minutes to discuss ways that we can become aware of being manipulated.
When I look back, I can point to “gentle suggestions” that individually weren’t a big deal, but when strung together they were subtle coercion, intended to control or change me.
Having lived through a relationship with a narcissist, I am now very sensitive to manipulation and am quick to set boundaries or walk away.
After our last conversation, I knew this group would be a great place to me to ask how other people recognize when they are being manipulated and what they do about it.
Many thanks to my three guests for their thoughtfulness and for being so generous with their insight: Stewart Wiggins, fractional COO at Induna Advisors; Tim Hawkes, the managing director of Unlimited Potential; and Dr. Hannah Hartwell, an expert in learning and development.
How about you? How do you notice when you’re being manipulated and what do you do about it?
