Do you keep falling asleep in staff meetings?
What about those long and boring conference calls?
Here's a way to ch-ch-change all of that:
1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by drawing a square --5" x 5" is a good size -- and dividing it into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 1-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
Synergy
Strategic fit
Core competencies
Out of the box
Bottom line
Revisit
Interface
Take that off-line
24/7
Out of the loop
Benchmark
Value-added
Proactive
Win-win
Think outside the box
Fast track
Take-Aways
Empower (or empowerment)
Knowledge base
At the end of the day
Touch base
Mindset
Centers of Excellence
Game plan
Leverage
Cascade
Circle back around
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!"
Testimonials from satisfied "Bullshit Bingo" players:
"I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won."
- Jack W., Boston
"My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically."
- David D., Florida
"What a gas! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first win."
- Bill R., New York City
“The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us waited for the fifth box."
- Ben G., Denver
"The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed "BULLSHIT!" for the third time in two hours."
- Harry A, Chantilly
"Thanks Bingo creator for thinking outside the box and proactively creating this value-added knowledgebase that is a strategic fit with my core competencies and current client focused mindset. I can leverage our existing process and exploit the inherent synergies to expand the knowledgebase to cater to our result driven folks who will work 24/7 to put it on a fast-track. This cascading game-plan is what I call a truly win-win situation."
