The Fight Club had 8 rules.
Welcome to a new kind of professional women’s community
The BRKrm (pronounced The Break Room) has 7 rules.
Our rules are based around calm and respect, rather than blood sport! Professional women will support and educate/inspire other women…at all ages and stages! And yes...we do want people to talk about it!
Why The Break Room? We all need a break from pettiness, rage-baiting, doomscrolling, fakery, and naysaying. Women juggle work and life and don’t always have safe spaces to talk about real challenges and gain insights from other women. Our rules are simple. If you participate, we want you to:
1.Be real and kind. No fakery. Commit to sharing what you know with others and be curious and open to learning. Do not “borrow” others’ ideas without permission and gratitude.
2.Work for a living (or be looking for work). Self-sufficiency and financial candor and growth are in your DNA. Take your job seriously but have a sense of humor. Have vision and hustle. Be tech-savvy or tech-curious. Understand and embrace AI as a powerful way to save us time and make more $$. Balance work and play.
3.Welcome everyone and be welcomed, regardless of age, stage, origin, profession, or beliefs. We focus on commonalities, not dates on birth certificates!
4.Be nice to strangers and newbies.
5.Commit to no cliques.
6.Avoid gossip. Show grace. You never know what people are going through. Support and collaborate with other women's groups.
7.Be respectful of time. We're all busy!
Men are welcome, but it's intended primarily as a professional women's group. It's a 100% volunteer community, managed out of AZ but with global reach.
We have based our concept on a very successful and unique non-profit (Society of Saleswomen), founded by Jessica Wiederhorn. See #1.
Our in-person gatherings are small and structured. We have agendas and encourage everyone to share. No “pitching” or “elevator speeches.” Just real, honest conversations and fun.
Our digital events are inspiring and educational.
Anyone can host a local event, but they need to follow some basic principles (in development).
Looking for a new kind of women’s group where women are serious about both work AND play and commit to being prosperity-focused and dramafree?
