We understand the importance of your partner retreat or firm forum and want to work with you to ensure that it’s beneficial for everyone involved.
Whether you are planning a firm-wide meeting and need a motivational kick-off, or you are working with firm leaders on growth strategy, or anything in between, Rainmaker can customize a memorable, high-energy program to accomplish your objectives.
The Rainmaker Companies consultants and trainers are frequent presenters and facilitators at partner retreats, leadership retreats, firm-wide meetings and industry focused meetings. By weaving in industry trends and best practices with proven content on business development and leadership, the Rainmaker team is able to present content that is applicable and motivating at all levels. We are also able to customize sessions ranging from less than an hour to multiple day sessions using a variety of presentation styles, tools and media.
Partner Retreats
We will work with you in the co-development of your Partner Retreat with the goal to gain further agreement on current firm position and desired next steps. As a result of this phase, the firm will be better positioned to develop a strategic growth plan with partner agreement and participation as well as expand the perspective of leadership characteristics required of firm leaders.
Our approach is designed to gather insights, information and motivations from the current firm leadership team, facilitate discussions and planning around the current reality and desired new reality and gain agreement on the firm’s goals and next steps.
