> Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long
> and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.
>
> 1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call,
> prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5x5" 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
> * expeditious
> * to tell you the truth (or "the truth is")
> * 24/7
> * out of the loop
> * benchmark
> * value-added
> * proactive
> * win-win
> * think outside the box
> * fast track
> * result-driven
> * empower (or empowerment)
> * knowledge base
> * at the end of the day
> * touch base
> * mindset
> * client focused)
> * 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,
> you must stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
