Do you keep falling asleep in meetings & seminars? What about those
\nlong & boring conference calls? Here’s a way to change all that:<\/p>\n
1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call,
\nprepare for the meeting by drawing a square — 5″X5″ is a good size.<\/p>\n
2. Divide the square into columns — five across and five down. That
\nwill give you 25 one-inch blocks.<\/p>\n
3. In each block, write one of the following words\/phrases:<\/p>\n
synergy
\nstrategic fit
\ncore competencies
\nbest practice
\nbottom line
\nrevisit
\ntake that off-line
\n24\/7
\nout of the loop
\nbenchmark
\nvalue added
\nproactive
\nwin-win
\nthink outside the box
\nfast track
\nresult-driven
\nempower(ment)
\nknowledge base
\nat the end of the day
\ntouch base
\nmindset
\nclient focus(ed)
\nballpark
\ngame plan
\nleverage<\/p>\n
4. Whenever you hear any one of those words\/phrases, check off the
\nappropriate block.<\/p>\n
5. When you get! five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,
\nstand up and shout “BULLSHIT!”<\/p>\n
