Your BRM Superpower
Right out of the gate, day two of BRMConnect is looking just as promising as day one! Darrel Popowich, from Online Business Systems, broke down the power behind evaluating relationships in his general session titled “Your BRM Superpower.”
Collaboration as a Strategy
If attendees missed last year’s session, it didn’t sway them from attending this year’s session. Thankfully, she recapped Part 1 with the same vigor and passion as she seamlessly weaved Part 2 into the fabric of her charming storytelling ability.

One Team, One Dream
It’s only day one of BRMConnect in San Antonio, and we are teeming with the dynamic energy of Kip Fanta’s session, “One Team One Dream!” His session was spot on with a focus on mindsets, behaviors, and skills to help you evolve the culture of your team and the organization.
Demand Management: BRMs as Marketers
We discovered how marketing generates great ideas and drives opportunity where value is identified and retained. We also heard about the useful tools to hone your BRM skills as you move from development to launch. It was easy to take to heart that BRMs are the greatest influence over the relationship and, therefore, are responsible for the value that the relationship creates.
The 2022 World BRMConnect Conference: Stronger Together
Have we forgotten the power of being stronger together? I don’t think so. We just need that little nudge to be reminded that when we come together to build relationships, respect diversity, and connect with each other, we become stronger together!
The Art of Relationships
Good results come from good relationship management; when relationships in an organization are taken for granted, or undervalued, the organization will likely find itself faltering at crucial junctures, or perhaps splintering completely. Relationship management done right anticipates and reconciles these splinters; furthermore, it nourishes an organization’s relationships into powerful currents that push it toward its purpose.
Value: Redefined
We are a society that defines value by how much profit and gains an organization creates. Let’s call a spade a spade. For decades now, the more money a company makes, the better they look to owners, boards of directors, stockholders, and potential investors. Value isn’t defined only in the organization’s profits; value is also defined by the culture within the organization itself and how the people feel about where they work.

Is it Quiet Quitting or Just Setting Boundaries?
Quiet quitting is a hot topic these days. Young 20-somethings versed in social media have created a trend on TikTok with videos boasting about quietly quitting their jobs. The viral hashtag #quietqutting has over 3.5 million views. Some people in today’s workforce have decided to flip the switch from working to the point of burnout to actively choosing to quit the hustle culture.
Countdown to BRMConnect 2022
With less than four weeks to go before BRMConnect 2022, we thought we’d highlight some exciting events taking place.

BRMConnect 2022 is promising to be the premier BRM event of the year!
Team Dynamics—are REAL
Team dynamics is a subject matter most organizations are wrestling with as team leaders work to find the best and most efficient way to get their people set up to thrive in a creative and collaborative manner. Effective team leaders recognize that their members will have difference of opinions, various energies, and diverse personalities that could potentially rumble and create discourse within the organization.

Culture Crisis
If there is one thing the last couple of years has taught us, it’s how ill-equipped some organizations were in pivoting to survive a crisis. We saw so many companies, believed to be viable, get swallowed up and perish in the waves of change because of rigid business practices and finite thinking. It was a wake-up call for organizations to continuously evolve and innovate in a rapidly changing world.
Who Will Be the 10,000th BRMP®?
That’s right, over the past ten years, almost 10,000 BRMP®s have become credentialed and are driving change in organizations around the globe—and BRM Institute is waiting to see who will become the 10,000th BRMP®.
From Fear to Fearless
Fear can rule the workplace. No matter the organization or industry you work for, self-induced fear has the real possibility of controlling you. It doesn’t matter if you work for the most generous, creative, collaborative, innovative, diverse, and accepting organization, if you are riddled with fear, it can quite possibly rule your choices, control your actions, and taint your creative process. Fear has a unique power. It recounts the story you tell yourself and it creates the terrorizing dialogue you use in your head. When fear becomes the narrator of your stories, catastrophizing becomes your way to justify your anxiety-riddled thought process.
The Road to Becoming a High Performing BRM
The path to becoming a high-performing BRM begins with a firm grasp of BRM a role, discipline and a philosophy. This foundational knowledge is the springboard that empowers you to approach business challenges from a deeper understanding.
This knowledge allows you to build strategies, spearhead initiatives, and work collaboratively with other business functions. Here, the Road to Results knowledge pathway allows you to grow from basic relationship maturity of “order taker” to influence over business strategy, outcomes, and relationships as a trusted strategic advisor.
