I create, produce and host the live stream and video content here at Buzz Bingo. For everyone who already knows me, BUZZONE to you! and to everyone else who has no idea what I mean… Hi!
I have worked in video content creation for many years and I can’t emphasise enough how much I love it. If I manage to entertain the people watching the content I create, I am a very happy man indeed.
I haven’t always worked in video content though, I have a very weird mix of previous experience. Here are just a few: I’m a trained gardener, cocktail maker and I spent 6 months in Professional Wrestling school… I know right, skinny little me! Outside of work, I am one of the BIGGEST geeks you will ever meet! Seriously, I think my other half is going to stage an intervention because of how much I talk about Star Wars. I, obviously, can’t write this and not mention my dog Alfie, who makes a regular appearance during the Buzz Bingo live streams. The best dog in the world and he keeps me highly entertained every minute of the day.

Fun Fact: The Origins of Bingo
A similar game was played as far back as 1530 in Italy.
The modern version was created by Hugh J. Ward in the early 1920s and was further popularized by Erwin Lowe. The name seems to be due to one of Lowe’s friends who yelled “Bingo!” when she won.
Playing buzzword bingo can be fun, but when you’re the one doing the presentation, you might want to avoid them (for the less funny situation when your colleagues decided to play the game without letting you know).
It’s not that you really want to use buzzwords instead of meaningful words, but sometimes you don’t know a good synonym for the buzzword.
We have started the list of buzzwords with our “pet peeves”: agile, proactive, and pivot. We will keep adding buzzwords to the list, so bookmark the article, you never know when you’ll find a “golden nugget”.

Proactive
Origin: relating to, caused by, or being interference between previous learning and the recall or performance of later learning (e.g. proactive inhibition of memory).
First use: 1933
Origin of the buzzword: Until recently, the word reactive (as in people who tend to react to a problem only when it’s gotten serious) didn’t have an antonym.
Proactive was coined to describe the opposite of a reactive person.
In this sense, it means a person who is always looking into the future and acting in anticipation of future problems, needs and changes.

Pivot
Origin:
1: a shaft or pin on which something turns
2: a person, thing, or factor having a major or central role, function, or effect; a key player or position
3: the action of pivoting; especially : the action in basketball of stepping with one foot while keeping the other foot at its point of contact with the floor
First use: 14th century
Origin of the buzzword: Pivot has been used in the buzzword form starting from 2008 when Eric Ries published his famous bestselling book The Lean Startup.
It means “structured course correction designed to test a new fundamental hypothesis about the product, strategy, and engine of growth“.
It implies not only a change of direction but more a sudden, rapid change of direction and focus. It implies that the company is essentially abandoning its previous efforts in order to make a concerted effort towards a new goal.
