1. Talk like a thesaurus at a business conference. Leverage synergistic solutions to drive stakeholder value.
2. Keep everything vague and abstract. Replace "500 attendees from 50 companies" with "many industry professionals."
3. Start everything with "In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape..."
4. Use formula transitions: "It's not just about security, it's about transformation."
5. Write passively about abstract concepts. "Digital transformation was undertaken."
6. Ramble endlessly about obvious points. Use 100 words where 10 would do.
7. Start every section with "Additionally" and promise to "empower your journey."
8. Preview everything: "In this post, I'll explain 5 ways to optimize your strategy."
9. Load up on metaphors: "Navigate the stormy seas of digital disruption on your journey."
10. Title everything "From Chaos to Clarity: A Leader's Journey to Excellence"
That was fun!

3 周Jargon everywhere! Some writers using AI tools seem to think people won’t notice—but on this platform, it’s easy to spot, especially when content is just copied and pasted. Sure, use AI to polish grammar, spelling, and the like, but don’t let a robot create your content for you.
