Business meetings can get pretty boring and tedious, so here is a simple game to play to liven them up.   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-winthink 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!”

oh .... BS!!

Or..you need a long holiday.

I used to enjoy counting the number of times that one came up in production meetings
