Being in the small business world it is not yet an epidemic, but corporate jargon is unfortunately becoming more prolific. Like the late George Carlin in his 1972 monologue "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" here are 19 corporate jargon words you should never say anywhere.

• Outside the Box

• Low-hanging fruit

• Synergy

• Loop me in

• Best of Breed

• Incentivize

• Mission-critical

• Bring to the table

• Value-add

• Elevator pitch

• Actionable Items

• Proactive

• Circle back

• Bandwidth

• High Level

• Learnings

• Next Steps

• At the end of the day

• Push back

So let's think outside the box, incetivize and be proactive to push back on the use of corporate jargon, then we can circle back at the end of day.
