Boardroom Bingo

Do you keep falling asleep in business meetings and seminars?

And what about those long and boring conference calls?

There is now a way to change all of that.

It's called Bullshit(Boardroom) Bingo.

Here's how it works:

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your Bullshit Bingo card by drawing a square – 5 inches x 5 inches is a good size - and dividing it into columns and rows - five across and five down. This will give you 25 x one inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in EACH block, in any sequence you like:
synergy, strategic fit, core competencies, best practice, bottom line, revisit, take that offline, 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), ballpark, game plan, leverage, and paradigm.

3. Cross out the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout BULLSHIT!
