We all have a set of phrases and words we naturally gravitate towards at work, depending on company culture and communication style. It’s just something you develop over time. Some teams have specific language they use that is beneficial to their productivity and morale. For instance, Nike are famous for their extremely competitive internal communication style, used to empower their employees. That’s all good and well but sometimes, no matter what, we end up using phrases that are actually detrimental to our communication and productivity.
Here are a handful of clichés that need to go and what to replace them with for more direct and productive communication with your team.
OakTree Staffing & Training proudly presents this guide for perfecting your elevator pitch in order to succeed in the job interview or at a networking event.

How to Use Affirmations Effectively for Internet MarketersFeroz Khan
Utilizing affirmations and some tools is a way to restrict criticism of yourself and other people. Affirmations help you in training your brain to be more about final results and to a lesser extent about quibbling. How we talk to ourselves really does regulate the type of energy we vibrate and what that draws into our life experiences. I share these ideas with everyone so that we can take more responsibility and power in making changes in our life, our bodies, our business and our families.

Autoresponder & Email Marketing To Get More CustomersDavid Jenyns
An autoresponder allows you to email your visitors on multiple occasions, building trust, establishing your expertise and, hopefully, creating a likeable persona that the recipients will associate with your website. When used correctly an autoresponder will lead a healthy proportion of your customers to the point where they become the person described in the opening paragraph on this page.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Communications Mining Series - Zero to Hero - Session 1DianaGray10
This session provides introduction to UiPath Communication Mining, importance and platform overview. You will acquire a good understand of the phases in Communication Mining as we go over the platform with you. Topics covered:
• Communication Mining Overview
• Why is it important?
• How can it help today’s business and the benefits
• Phases in Communication Mining
• Demo on Platform overview
• Q/A
2. 1. "I'm a Team-Player."
This is one of the most over-used clichés, so try to find a way you can show that
you are this team player. Did you collaborate with someone or with a department
to meet an objective? Put that on your resume instead of a vague, clichéd
expression. Be detailed about your achievement.
3. 2. "I Have Great Communication Skills."
Communication skills can mean so many things, which is why using this term on
your resume only makes you lose your recruiter's interest. What communication
skills did you use to contribute to your employer? Did you create a presentation, a
press release or lead a conference call? State your specific achievement.
4. 3. "I Have a Proven Track-Record."
So prove it! What did you do to give you this track record? Be specific, and try to
quantify your impact; "I brought in 10 new customers, adding $50k profit for
2009" sounds far more impressive than some vague statement, and will help you
stand out among the dozens of resumes.
5. 4. "I'm a Problem Solver."
Everybody loves a problem solver, which is why so many resumes state this skill
with pride. You can do better: tell your prospective company what problem you
solved. Did you optimize a troubling schedule, did you solve an employee dispute
or did you iron out a problem with a customer? Again, be specific to be
memorable.
6. 5. "I Assisted In X Task."
Maybe you weren't the lead on a particular project, but saying you "assisted" is
the kiss of death for your resume. What was it that you did? Did you write a sales
report or keep inventory? Write that on your resume with pride, and lose the
"assisted" - you're better than that.
7. 6. "I Have a Strong Work Ethic."
A strong work ethic - that sounds great, right? You're not the only one using this
cliché, so freshen up your resume by stating how you go that extra mile. Did you
take a class to improve your skills? Did you meet some really tough deadline? Show
the hiring official what makes you this person with a strong work ethic, instead of
using another cliché like your fellow applicants.
8. 7. "I'm Bottom-Line Focused."
Another hollow term that is overused and now means nothing - so show what you
did that added to the bottom-line of your company. It's very important to
quantify for this skill: list amounts of money, time, or resources you saved or
added to the business.
9. 8. "I'm Responsible For X."
We're all responsible for something when we go to work, whether a janitor or a
CEO. Drop this expression and just state what your job title is and what you
added to the company's success. Cutting these clutter words will make your
resume stronger and more to-the-point.
10. 9. "I'm Self-Motivated."
What you're really trying to say is that you're not that slacker who clocks out at
three every day, but this cliché is not going to help you get your point across. Find
a way to show that you're self-motivated: did you overhaul a broken inventory
system, or find a new way to expand your sales territory? Self-motivated
employees find innovative ways to improve on what they've been handed - put
what you actually did on your resume.
11. 10. "I'm Accustomed to a Fast-Paced
Environment."
What does this mean, exactly? Fast-paced work environments are the norm in
this recession, where most people do more work for less money. To be specific,
look at one of your busiest days in your (former) job. What did you accomplish,
and how did you adapt to the obstacles thrown your way? Put that achievement
on your resume to prove that you can adapt when challenged - a quality
employers look for.
