Do
you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long
and boring conference calls? Monotone voices burbling on and on like a
creek for hours on end, forcing you to look for the nearest sharp
object or length of wire to end it all. Here's a way to change all of
that... Meeting
Bingo!
1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call,
prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5"x5" is a good size.
Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give
you 25 one-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
synergy
strategic fit
core competencies
best practice
bottom line
revisit
take that off-line
24/7
out of the loop
benchmark
value-added
proactive
win-win |
think outside the box
fast track
result-driven
empower
knowledge base
solution
touch base
mindset
client focus
paradigm
game plan
leverage
|
3. Check off
the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,
stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
