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've agreed to do something and then realize that making it happen is either impossible or is going to create havoc in your life. Going back and saying "I can't do it after all" is awkward.
I asked Wayne Buckhanan, Brandon Mahoney and Alison Coe to help me unpack why it is hard and how to do it in the best way possible.
Listen in and then let us know how you handle situations when you over-committed and have to say no.

This conversation made it clear to me that men experience selling differently than women (at least me). A salesMAN being pushy is only annoying to the men on this panel. Whereas I have experienced pushy salesMEN as creepy.
Simon gave a great tip for stopping a salesperson in their tracks.
Take a listen and let us know what you think.

The saying, "If your dreams don't scare you they aren't big enough" is pretty common. But says who? Why do dreams HAVE to be scary? Who gets to decide that? And why the _____ do marketing people try to use that idea to scare people into working with them?
Markrete Krikorian, Clarissa Makhoul and Chris McLaughlin were kind enough to have this conversation and share their thoughts on what makes dreams "big enough."

This conversation was SO mind-bendy! The lack of making a choice is a choice to accept whatever happens. I.e. allowing life to happen TO you. Always planning leaves little room for serendipity. Is there an ideal middle ground?
I asked Kristin Bainger, Christina Kelley and Tim Hawkes to have a planned conversation. They learned it would be about spontaneity with less than 24-hours notice. The result was great fun. But do you think it was spontaneous?

This was a spontaneous conversation about self-sabotage recorded after we did a Quick Hit on a different topic.
Listen in as Kristin Bainger, Bridgette Mihalik, Sara Oblak Speicher, and I talk about what self-sabotage happens and how to catch it.
If you struggle with self-sabotage I highly recommend the book The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.

A few weeks ago I had this conversation with an all male panel (you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/CoR3cNyLAag). This time I asked the ladies. The conversations are strikingly different.
As someone who works in the space where the messiness of life, work, expectations, goals and desires collide, sometimes with great chaos and distress, these conversations carry a deeper meaning.
Thank you to Kristin Bainger, Sara Oblak Speicher, and Bridgette Mihalik for stepping into this conversation with me and sharing your experiences.
What is your experience of work being a part of your life?

A lot of advice is given about finding a mentor. But what are the benefits of BEING a mentor? (Other than the "feel good" of doing someone a favor.)
I asked Bill Lindquist, Brandon Mahoney and Stewart Wiggins their experience with having and being mentors. I'm not confident that we came up with a solid answer to the original question.
What do you think? Does being a mentor have benefits?

If you search "executive presence" you will get a lot about what to wear and how you look. But in talking to Amy Harrill, Michael Sicuranza and Christopher Jerjian we decided it is more about how you engage with people.
Take a listen and let me know what you think. Do the first seven seconds paint who you are forever?

This conversation got deep quickly as we talked about whether self-worth and self-esteem where driven by what we think others think or an internal mechanism.
Listen in as Atif Agha. Wayne Buckhanan, Cole Galloway and I talk through the continuum and how each of us can be in a different place along it at any given moment. (And ignore the fact that I could not get the words out of my mouth at the start. It took three tries and this was as good as it got. 🤔)
Let us know what you think. What is just enough but not too much in this case?
