June 1, 2009SpeakStrong in government and overcoming gobbledygook
I used to dismiss my husband’s (admittedly) dumb jokes, but I learned to love them because of the playfulness that inspires them.
We like people who laugh at our jokes – which is one reason why I so enjoyed my keynote with the federally employed women who are members of Denver Federal Executive Board (DFEB) last week. I knew I was funny, but I didn’t realize I was THAT funny. The last time I had such a responsive audience it was at a Women in Military conference. Hmm…is there a theme here? I found a surprising way into my husband’s heart, and DFEB found their way into mine.
My new DFEB readers and anyone who works with bureaucracy will appreciate my recent article about bureaucratic gobbledygook. It’s called From Gobbledygook to PowerPhrases
How to overcome Bureaucratic Buzzwords and Speak Strong, Smart and Sweet
The article includes a Buzzword generator and a PowerPhrases generator.
