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 your
"Bull---- Bingo" card 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, 1" blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/
phrases in each block:
* 24/7
* benchmark
* value-added
* proactive
* win-win
* think outside the box
* fast track
* result-driven
* empower (or empowerment)
* knowledge base
* out of the loop
* synergy
* strategic fit
* core competencies
* best practice
* bottom line
* revisit
* take that off-line
* at the end of the day
* touch base
* mindset
* client focus(ed)
* ballpark
* 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 "BULL----!"
