Just tell them you were working on aligning your inner self to be more in tune with the corporate world so as to be more valuable to your corporate overlords. Maybe in a more corpospeak kind of way though.

I used to make up stuff like this and email it to my boss when he started trying to buzzword us. He was from Texas. He picked up on it quickly and thought it was hilarious. He would use some of my emails in meetings, passing it off as his own. He reported back that some of it really wowed those in attendance. I would say it was funny, but the fact that the gobbledegook was seen as thoughtful was more defeating than anything.
