You are the only one who can make the step to advance your career. You get to decide if re-valuing your BRM career is worth it or not. Why not take the beginning of 2023 to detangle from last year’s stale ideas, unrealistic expectations, and stagnant growth and be different, daring, and innovating?
Unlock the Infinite: Triple Bottom Line
The triple bottom line shifts the focus from profits, a trailing indicator, and changes the focal point to people, purpose, and planet, a leading factor for organizations to perpetually thrive. The triple bottom line is about the never-ending future of the organization—not its recent past. It’s a much more inclusive way to participate in your organization, and it encourages a more meaningful work environment while inspiring a shared ownership mentality.

Why a Square Peg Never Fits Into a Round Hole
Change isn’t easy. Nobody worth their salt is going to tell you anything different. Change is uncomfortable, it’s un-nerving, and it can be downright scary. And for creatures of habit, as we are, it will throw us off our game. So, when something presents itself dressed up as change, we may find ourselves backing away until we are pressed against the wall and forced to come out swinging, or we sacrifice ourselves, because, well, change will inevitably catch up to us.
Give Together, Grow Together
On this Giving Tuesday, help us help others. When you donate to BRM Institute, your contribution will help fund hardship memberships, operating expenses, and events that bring BRMs together from communities around the world.
BRM Starts with YOU
You want to build a global community of BRMs? You have to work from the inside out. And no, not from the inside of the BRM community out, but from the inside of who you are as a BRM to the authority you show outwardly to the world. Too often, BRMs expend a lot of energy and time on proving their worth instead of embodying their value. BRMs always have to prove they add value to everyone in their organization. The downside of that is that the focal point of the BRM becomes proving their worth instead of exhibiting their value throughout the entire organization.
Jam Sessions: The Music of Collaboration
Musicians aren’t the only ones who can benefit from jam sessions. Teams can tap into collaboration and make the most of their productivity by channeling their energy toward a shared goal during these sessions. Participants get to build on one another’s perspectives, experiences, and ideas.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and BRM
Though business relationship management is a relatively new field, it comes at a time when its potential is amplified by a growing interest in human potential. In other words: as business relationship managers perfect their craft, they are poised to facilitate great improvements in employee engagement, the valuation of employees, and diversity and inclusion.

Capacity or Ability, Which is It?
Very rarely do people take a moment to consider if a person has the capacity to do what we want them to do. Capacity is different than ability. Even if someone can do something, it doesn’t mean they have the capacity to do it. When was the last time we gave someone the benefit of the doubt? How often have we given up a relationship, a position, a friendship, or a collaboration because the person wasn’t doing what we expected of them?
10 Signs of a Daring Leader
It doesn’t take much effort to recognize the overt qualities of a darling leader. Society tends to flock to people who exude confidence and garner credibility. We look to people who aren’t afraid to take the bull by the horns and lead us in the direction of progress. It is the strong, confident, intelligent, and compassionate leaders who rise to the surface through adversity and growth.
