Buzzwords – do you use them?

In case you haven’t seen it – this is a wonderfully funny short video about business buzzwords.

I was surprised by how many I’ve heard used and slightly embarrassed about how many I use myself!

So why do we do it …

To impress? A shorthand to communicate something quickly? To be part of the in-crowd? To appear more confident? To emphasize? To be witty?

And is it wrong …

My view is no unless it’s trying to put someone down or purposefully confuse.

But let me ‘reach out to you’ and ask – what do you think?
