Buzzwords: Your Secret Weapon . . . or Your Fastest Way to Lose Credibility

Whether you love them, hate them, or use them without thinking, buzzwords shape the way business gets done. They can open doors—or close minds.

In this practical, engaging guide, former Fortune 100 executive and C-suite advisor S. Gary Snodgrass shows you how to

• decode fifty of today’s most-used corporate buzzwords and unpack what they mean, when they work, and when they don’t;

• spot and stop jargon misuse before it derails your message;

• adapt your language for different audiences so you’re heard, understood, and respected;

• avoid buzzword burnout with tools to keep your communication clear, fresh, and compelling.

With real-world case studies, interactive self-assessments, and even a few “Buzzwords with a Wink” to remind you that business language can be both sharp and fun, this is not a dictionary—it’s a survival guide. Whether you’re a leader, aspiring professional, educator, or just someone who wants to stop rolling your eyes in meetings, Demystifying Corporate Buzzwords will change the way you think about the words you work with.

Clear communication isn’t optional. It’s your competitive edge.
