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.

This is one of those topics that doesn’t get enough brain time. We get into projects and we either find ourselves really interesting and excited to be there. Or the passion dies and we either leave or trudge along not really caring about the outcome.
But what makes the difference?
Stewart Wiggins and Jim Tam have lots of experience doing projects under different types of leaders and with an assortment of outcomes so I thought they would provide some great insight into what caused them to be engaged… or not.
The summary we came up with was:
- To understand where the project is going (end goal to avoid scope creep)
- To be kept in the loop about what is happening
- A management team who listens and makes adjustments based on the feedback they hear
- For the project to be appropriately resourced (Right budget. Right people)
- There has to be appropriate personal gain
We shared some stories about projects we’ve been on or backed out of and why. I enjoyed the emergent nature of this conversation and it helped me better understand why some projects frustrate me more than others.
Listen in and then let us know, what do you need to feel engaged in a project? Did we miss any important points?
