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.

You weren’t “wrong” you just know more now.
We all know that feeling when we try to solve a problem and find ourselves repeatedly hitting the same wall. We circle around to different solutions, but the initial problem naggingly persists. How do we shake out of that cycle and find new, better solutions?
I spoke about this with three veteran problem solvers on this edition of Quick Hits.
“Inviting somebody else in is very powerful,” advised business coach Shellie Berry. “If you’re ruminating and you can’t see it with fresh eyes, you need a fresh perspective. It doesn’t mean that they’re right, just that they see it differently. That can help you set aside how you’re seeing it.”
Simon Coles, CEO of Amphora Research Systems, concurred, provided that they are “the right brains with the right attitude.” Many CEOs and entrepreneurs have a hard time finding quality people to brainstorm with because they do not have the right perspective and background to speak on a particular problem.
But whatever the background, we all agreed that the best approach to solve a problem is to not see it as a problem in the first place, but as an opportunity.
As Shannon Phillips, founder of Unbounded Thinking, told us: “When a scientist approaches a problem, they get excited about it. In business, we look at problems as a risk to our survival…Falling in love with a problem is the first step to having fresh eyes."
Listen in and let us know what tricks you use to look at something from a different perspective.
