1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" 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 competences
- 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 focus(ed)
- paradigm
- game plan
- leverage
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSH*T!"
