Hello dreadfuls circus owners!

Do you enjoy stretching the envelope or thinking outside the box? Are you deep diving and drilling down but also raising the bar? Do you circle back to add value, ensuring customer-centric snynergies are operationalised?

So let's open the kimono and get off the burning platform because at the end of the day it is what is is. We'll take it offline, reach out to stakeholders, grab any low hanging fruit we can, and utilise our thought leaders going forward in a more proactive, co-coupling way.

Above are some word-bads most of us might be unfortunate enough to have had placed in our ears by wrong people or, worse, prattled out ourselves because we're young and stupid or old and stupid or just acclimatised to the pervasive work talk we have to suffer, endure and regurgitate. The phrases themselves are at best obvious, at worst overly-wordy and redundant just like this post so what to do?

'Not my circus, not my monkeys.'

It is - as far as my research suggests, and believe me when I tell you I have not carried out any research at all - the only useful buzzword phrase to actually make people go away and, by extension, their leveraged reach outs also disappear.

Try it today! Share your group outcomes and take an action item to report back by close of play lunchtime tomorrow in the posts below.
 
Come on people, synergise, we need to take this to the next level..

Although it looks as though Magnolia already has. :p

This guy gets its even though it was long hanging fruit.

GD still has to reach pain point before they can start to ideate. We'll just have to wait for someone to move the needle.
