Corporate Bingo

Ever have trouble staying awake during meetings or seminars? Here’s a little game that will keep you busy.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. Most 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:
   • result-driven
   • at the end of the day
   • out of the loop
   • 24/7
   • infrastructure
   • core competencies
   • revisit
   • bottom line
   • best practice
   • strategic fit
   • fast track
   • think outside the box
   • win-win
   • proactive
   • value-added
   • benchmark
   • 110%
   • client focus(ed)
   • paradigm
   • game plan
   • leverage
   • moving forward
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!”
