Pet Phrases...

Pet phrases I'd love to eliminate from the working world...
(listener thought process in brackets)

"Let me tell you a story..." (er... I'm over the age of 7)

"I wanted to reach out to you..." (no touching, please)

"Let me share with you now..." (how VERY generous of you)

"Sort of like..." (?!)

"Y'know..." (no, not really)

"Uhm... yeah, that's about it." (feeling weary?)

"It's probably a stupid idea but... (you're wasting my time)

"It's probably a rubbish idea but..." (you're still wasting my time)

"...or maybe that's a silly idea?" (yup, you wasted my time)

"Before I start..." (but you already did)

"Before we get started..." (and so have we)

"Without further ado..." (Shakespeare? I bet that's the only time you use the word 'ado')

What would you like to add to this list?

 Thank you for your incredible contribution to the Chivas Venture 2018 - from the initial inspiration during the Accelerator Programme in Oxford, all the way through to the Final Stage in Amsterdam. I was blown away by how the Top 5 Chivas Venture finalists stepped up in front of 2,500+ people, following their work with you. You tailored your advice to meet each entrepreneur's needs and your coaching made a real difference to this year's Final event..

 

Laurence Mainaud | Global Brand Manager, Chivas Venture
