Every time someone says 'disrupt' my skill is at suppressing the desire to vomit a little.

Yes. A "disruptive skill?" How exactly is that different from "a skill that could be really useful?" Is this a skill that somehow lets you singlehandedly overturn a market, or are we just tossing around buzzwords?

Maybe we should discuss our disruptive value-adds for high-impact verticals.

I believe, in this case, it was "a skill that disrupts others' previously-established judgement of your worth to them."

I would like to have referred to you by name -- if you'd like me to -- please just ping me!

Anyway, thank you for your insight.

That's another fine example of why 'disrupt' should die. :P

That is spot on. Disruptive skills as applied to an individual game-change our career. Appreciate your weighing in.
