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.

Philip Tate kicked us off with a story of someone doing a terrible job of delivering the news that someone was being let go from their job. If nothing else awful people can serve as a bad example.
Camille Diaz added that she believes that giving someone bad news and then trying to comfort them by saying, “everything happens for a reason” is simply horrible. It takes away your power and is telling you not to feel however it is you feel or ask any questions. Just accept and deal.
Kevin Wash likes to consider how bad is the bad news, not from his perspective but from the perspective of the person he has to tell. It could be a bigger or (if you’re lucky) a smaller deal than you think. And then, be matter of fact. Don’t embellish or try to soften. Just say it like it is and then move on to the practical stage of what happens next.
Near the end Camille and I talked about how waiting to give bad news make it worse. Philp summarized it really well, “Tell it first. Tell it all. Tell it now.”
Have you ever had someone give you bad news in a really awful way or do you have any tips for delivering bad news well?
