Business Babble

Okay.

So, my daughter’s 

communicating with me 

now using ‘Corporate Jargon’.

Hmmmm…interesting, ‘eh?

It sounds like 

business babble to me.

For example:

If she needs a favor 

she postures herself 

like this:

“Mummuz, if you have the

‘Bandwidth’; could we ‘Zoom’, 

‘Get Our Ducks in a Row’, 

‘Drill Down’, ‘Align’,

‘Grab the Low Hanging Fruit’, 

‘Boil it in the Ocean’

and ‘Leverage it All’? 

This will ‘Move the Needle’

and be an actual ‘Deliverable’ 

so we don’t have to 

‘Go in a Different Direction’

with any more ‘Blue Sky Thinking’.

Say what?

Translation:

“Mummuz, are you 

free this weekend?

Bahahahahaha.

'Corporate Jargon' doesn’t 

translate well if you’re not 

actually a 'Corporate Gal'. 

BUT - I ‘Circled Back’ with :

“Sweetie, maybe we 

need more ‘Synergy’ .

Let’s ‘Take It Offline’,

‘Touch Base Again’ and

‘TableThis’ right now.”

If YOU need to

‘Circle Back’ to respond, 

feel no shame. I get it!

I value you + your views,

so let’s communicate!
