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.

Being in a Groove vs Being in a Rut.
Thursday Nov 04, 2021
Thursday Nov 04, 2021
What is the difference between being in a grove and being in a rut? Can you move from one to the other?
It seems like a pretty straightforward answer. But when Stewart Wiggins, Karen Loomis and I got into it, we realized there was some nuisance there.
We decided a groove can turn into a rut but not the other way around.

How do you handle ambush conversations?
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
An ambush conversation is when someone “grabs” you to talk about something important when you are in the middle of something; between meetings (on the way to the bathroom is a favorite in the office) or when you aren’t ready to have the conversation.
An ambush conversation often results in saying “yes” when you should have and would have said “no” if your brain had had a chance to think.
Listen in as Abigail McCloskey, Bill Lindquist, Rick Alcantara, and I share how we deal with people who "grab" us for a "quick second" and admit that we are often the ones doing the ambushing.

Does having big goals steal today‘s happiness?
Tuesday Nov 02, 2021
Tuesday Nov 02, 2021
When focused on a really big outcome goal it is easy to forget to enjoy today. I posed this dilemma to Catherine Daley, Kristin Bainger and Simon Coles. They had very different takes on how to approach it, if they even thought it was an actual problem.

When over achievement becomes expected
Monday Nov 01, 2021
Monday Nov 01, 2021
It happens without you realizing it. You stay late to finish a project. You take an early morning meeting to accommodate someone in a different time zone. You pick up extra work when a coworker goes out sick. Suddenly you realize you are working ninety-hour weeks and are exhausted.
You try to talk to your boss but they aren't much help. As you try to get stuff off of your plate people start complaining that you aren't don't your job. You are no longer seen as an overachiever. Working yourself to death has become expected. Now what?
Listen in as Wayne Buckhanan, Karen Loomis, Simon Coles and I discuss this slippery slope and how you might get out of it.

The dark side of grit & resilience

Friday Oct 29, 2021
Knowing when to turn it off. Have you every stuck with something WAY longer than you should have? Relationships, jobs, businesses that aren't working. There is A LOT of content about how to build grit and resilience. There are even Quick Hits about it (https://youtu.be/MP4ksq7Q34Y, https://youtu.be/xVDs480ubmo).
But something that is rarely (basically never) talked about is the dark side, sticking with something too long, pounding your head against a wall rather than looking for a door.
Listen in as Steve Thomson, James H. Lee, Bill Lindquist and I talk about our experience (particularly me) with taking grit and resilience too far and how we catch ourselves doing it.
