Business Speak (PRWEB) November 7, 2003
Tired of endless meetings where you hear the same phrases over and over?
Want to improve your attention span, or perhaps just stay awake?
Finally, a way to find new meaning and purpose to your meeting experiences!! Its called BUSINESS SPEAK BINGO!! The bingo cards are filled with tedious words and phrases that we have all learned to hate!
Heres how it works:
1. Before your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, grab your Business Speak Bingo" game cards.
2. Pick a number of players to join you and provide each with a different game card before the meeting starts.
3. While at the meeting, carefully listen for over-used business phrases. When the speaker or participants use one, simply and mark out the box containing the identified word(s).
4. As soon as you mark five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BS Bingo!!!"
Or, if you fear for your reputation (or job); you can avoid disclosing your shenanigans to the speaker and/or other unwitting attendees by simply picking a secret code word or hand signal to alert your fellow players to your winning status.
5. For even more fun, charge each player a few bucks per card and let the first BS Bingo" winner collect the proceeds.
6. And you can request your own favorite words to be included when you order card sets!
Entertain your collegues at your next meeting! Or if your are a speaker, use it to engage your audience!
