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.

Telling a joke during a presentation can help the audience connect with you. Laughter releases neurochemicals that are good for doing business.
But when a joke falls flat, or worse is offensive, it is bad for you personally and for business.
Towards the end of this conversation I share a story about a flippant, "funny" comment I made that turned out to be hugely offensive. I was mortified but the damage was done.
Listen in as Helena Bouchez, James W Haile Jr, Gary Fredericks and I share how we have used humor successfully or not so successfully in different business settings.
How do you use humor in business and what steps do you take to make sure what you say actually comes across as funny rather than rude?
