BR+A Consulting Engineers’ Post

This repost is as much an endorsement of the Legal Marketing Association as it as a promotion of an upcoming presentation I'm giving to the LMA's Southwest Region local group. The presentation Erika shouts out below is yet another opportunity that wouldn't have been available to me had I not joined the organization. Susan Hunt, the mastermind behind the LMA Southwest Region's Business Development Boot Camp, is yet another wonderful human being I wouldn't have met had I not joined the organization. I foolishly joined LMA *five years* after first learning about it. If you're in legal marketing or business development, don't be foolish like this fool. Check out the organization. You might be surprised by how much you get out of it—especially when you contribute and/or volunteer.

Are You Ready to Stop Playing Small? Enter the Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards Let’s cut the fluff: If you’re not putting your business out there, you’re missing a massive opportunity. The Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards are more than just a chance to pick up a shiny trophy—they’re your chance to step up, prove your worth, and get some serious recognition for the work you’ve been putting in. I hear too many business owners moan about “not getting the attention they deserve.” Well, here’s your wake-up call—this is how you get it. By entering. By showing up. By competing. It’s not just about winning (though that doesn’t hurt, does it?); it’s about demonstrating to your customers, competitors, and even your team that you’re not content with staying in the shadows. Think about what it says when you put your business forward: 🏆 Visibility: You get eyes on your business that you’ve never had before. 🏆 Credibility: Just being a finalist can be a game-changer for how people perceive your brand. 🏆 Momentum: Win or lose, the PR, the buzz, the networking—it all counts towards growth. So, are you going to take action and showcase the real impact your business is making? Or are you going to sit on the sidelines while others claim the spotlight? And listen—if you’re thinking of not entering because “it’s just not your thing,” that’s your ego talking. Leave that nonsense behind. This is the perfect chance to push your business to the next level. You’ve got nothing to lose—just credibility, connections, and potential clients to gain. The deadline’s looming. Get your entry in and stop playing small. #WellingboroughChamberAwards #BusinessGrowth #Recognition #NoExcuses

Had the privilege of attending the Richmond Hill Board of Trade event yesterday, where I had the pleasure of connecting with Mayor David West over lunch.

The Pathways to Partnerships event wasn’t your typical name-tag shuffle—it was something refreshingly different. Real conversations, shared journeys, and genuine connections took centre stage, making it an event that truly stood out. 🎟️ A massive thank-you to Marlys Wilson, CRSP, for hosting such an incredible event.
