Are we communicating or what, part 2
Well it looks like I was going to write this great, witty, piece about stupid business jargon for you for this week. But as sometimes happens, life and of course holidays got in the way.
I have a back up plan though. After I wrote part one of this series, I went to Linkedin and used their Q&A function. I asked the question about what silly jargon do you hate in the business world and got a lot of great answers.
Here is the link to the answers; may of which are wittier than this writer could ever be.

Now you’ll need to be a linkedin member in order to view the answers (I think). It’s free. And it’s an excellent networking site which is why I don’t mind giving it a strong thumbs up in my column.
Oh and while you’re there, link to me. My profile is: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimwgilbert
Next week, we’ll continue with the last in this series and I’ll tell you my secrets of how powerfully communicate with people every time.
