People of PistonHeads, I need your help.

I'm trying to explain a few success stories, but I feel that "success story" just isn't buzzwordy enough, which upsets me greatly frown

I'm trying to find the most cringeworthy buzzword to use in it's place - can you help?

Why rely on buzz words? Just tell the story in an honest and clear way without relying on "management speak" or clichéd phrases.

Triumph of the Will?

Not quite buzz wordy but it should get a reaction from at least some...

It was a very effective phrase in its day.

Are you mental? How on Earth do you expect me to get ahead and reach the pinnacle of my potential if I don't open sky think and use some amazing buzzwords?

The mind boggles.

I'd go with:

Destiny Mesh - The confluence of dreams and potential.

Just came up with that and now i'm going to to create a PowerPoint with it as the title, the rest will write itself hehe

Absolute Brilliance.

Write a book too, I'm pretty sure with that title it will be lapped up!

OP, it's essential that you incorporate the word "journey" somehow.

This task is getting more difficult, rather than easier scratchchin

I'm starting to think that bringing you all onboard for this globally integrated market-driven innovation was the wrong thing to do.

When I'm required to produce a presentation for the SMT, I just go to thesaurus.com and swap the normal words for something off the list.

So 'Success Story' can be changed quite easily to:

Positive Narration

Victory Saga

Ascendancy Fable

Triumph Chronicle

Epic Elevation


or any combination of the above.
