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.

If you’ve been engaged in an endeavor long enough, odds are you’ve encountered that stale feeling when everything starts to slow down. The excitement you felt when you hit the ground running begins to feel more like walking through quick sand. Patterns begin to repeat themselves. You need to find new ways of thinking to shake things up.
On this edition of Quick Hits, I spoke with three experienced leaders about how they inspire their team to think creatively.
Dr. Kryn McClain, president of Paragon Behavioral Health Services, explained that a precondition to creative thinking is a healthy team. “A lot of people are experiencing mental illness right now in the workforce…If you want to inspire and motivate the team and get people really caring and connecting them with purpose, we need to first and foremost take a look at the whole person.”
Chris Jerjian, who has thirty years of experience in commercial real estate, added that you can always learn from other businesses, because they might have extensive experience addressing problems that are new to your organization. “The more you expose yourself to other industries, you can find a lot of answers…someone’s already done it for you.”
Michael Davis, founder of Speaking CPR, cautioned that “we have to be careful not to look for the complex answer. The answer is often simple.”
We had a wide-ranging conversation which I found insightful and fun.
How do you develop or encourage creative thinking?
