    It entirely depends on the type of corpo speak. Some of it is a euphemism for things that humans want to avoid addressing, like firing people and potentially throwing their lives into chaos because it makes a business have a line that looks slightly better for a few months.

    Sometimes it’s a polite thought terminating cliche the end a conversation or say “I hear what you’re saying and we’re doing it my way”.

    Sometimes it’s just a shorthand for some of the things that corporations have adopted that can coincidentally be helpful in relationships.
    Setting aside a few minutes to check-in and hear how everyone feels things have been going is a ‘retro’.

    I can 100% assure you that there are positive relationship impacts to looking your partner in the eye and asking if they want to touch base. That you’ve got a high priority action item that you’re looking to circle back on, and some clearly defined success metrics.
