Some great buzzwords & phrases heard in an executive speech:
- the word repurpose
- the word mythologize (which is real, but not really used)
- the phrase take-away used as a noun (e.g. “The take-away of this meeting is…”)
- the if I got hit by a bus today story about spreading information
- the phrase inflection point (which I quite like, actually)
- a short story about how the Chinese character for problem also means opportunity
It was short, though, and I actually got a very good impression of the guy giving the talk.
