What phrase do you use at work that you are trying to change?

For me it’s “I’m sorry…” like - I’m sorry I’m late, I’m sorry it’s worded that way…

I’m catching myself more and more to say - thanks for waiting, great catch, etc.

I've been spending so much time in inane Zooms that the corporate speak is starting to seep into my everyday vernacular. I almost "to your point"ed my 9-year-old the other day. That was a wakeup call.

funny

Tell us more about “the point”… that was worthy of biz speak. :)

I do say sorry a lot. That is probably a good one to change. I often find myself saying something like as I said. When I want to reiterate something or I didn’t think somebody heard me right. Probably say that phrase like 12 times a day.
