When speaking to diverse stakeholders I will not use acronyms, slang, colloquialism, or jargon because I want to be accessible.

"Stakeholder" is jargon.

Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

(Now just wait for that to pop into your head at the next work meeting)

Whenever I hear ‘stakeholder’ I assume someone is about to be stabbed through the heart. I've never been wrong.

It’s far more literal than others, re people having a stake in something.

Ok good to know

Jargon to another social circle doesn't help you or your audience.

there's that yes, also, but it's not what he wrote and it's not like it
