Answer 1

i like synergy. thats often overused in soooo many meetings. "let's create a synergy..."
paradigm shift is a good one too. if you use it be sure to note that 'digm' is pronounced as 'dime' so it sounds like 'para-dime'. the first time i read this word i got it wrong. good luck!

Answer 2

Speak in plain English and avoid catchy phrases: When people hear them they tend to tune you out because they are unoriginal and tacky.

Do not attempt "hip" office busines jargon that you think might be cool: it isn't.

You don't hear Trump talking like that or any other important business person.

Be concise, to the point. Short discourse only.

Look the manager in the eyes when you are talking and be pleasant. Open body language not scratching, pulling on your face or clothes and do not cross your arms.

Even tone to the voice but not monotonous

Be sure you have on proper business attire and are well groomed. Clean shoes are a must - and no sickening perfumes or colognes

The way up the corporate ladder is padded with common good sense, plain good English, being original, honestly being yourself and a lot of reliable hard work

We need to focus on actionable deliverables for the technology vertical and ensure that we utilize best practices when we architect the new release. Ted, go dialogue with Vikram and see if he has the bandwith for this project. At the end of the day and from the helicopter view of things, I can see us developing a scalable and robust value chain that will be a turnkey solution to the challenges of our industry. I am sure that if we incentivize our team to work quickly towards a world class solution we can roll this out by December for the quick win. Okay, team, what are our takeaways from this meeting? Does everyone know their deliverables?

Answer 4

Refer to people as "resources" and use the word "deck" as a verb, as in, "How many resources can we deck against this problem?"

Say "connect the dots" at least a couple of times, e.g. "Let's connect the dots." or "How do we connect the dots?" or "Let me connect the dots for you."

Ask whether others are "on board." "Is he on board yet?"

Lastly, make up some acronymns of three letters each and throw them in anywhere.

Have fun!
