How do leading organisations nurture and develop Rainmakers? In this presentation you will hear about the successes, pitfalls and the impact that Rainmakers can have on an organisation. Perhaps most importantly, we examine how organisations can leverage their Rainmakers to drive business growth.

Stephen takes us through his journey in Public Relations, examining the lessons and learnings that come with becoming a Rainmaker. Individuals looking to become Rainmakers in their own right can learn from Stephen’s experience.

As Partner & Chief Engagement Officer at Ketchum, Stephen has a strong understanding of how key stakeholders think both in the UK and globally. His insights inform communications strategy and tactics for some of the world’s most respected organisations, improve reputations and driving real business impact.

Environment plays a massive part in the cultivation of Rainmakers and it hugely affects their ability to perform. This presentation looks at the key elements of a successful culture and what is needed to create and retain elite performers.

Kenny gives an insight into his childhood battle with dyslexia and his rise to become a professional rugby player winning three English Premiership titles with Wasps and 70 Scotland caps over an 11 year period. Kenny has since transferred his skills into running Logan Sports Marketing, and becoming their Rainmaker, working with some of the biggest consumer brands and professional services and technology companies in the world.

Central to the role of all Rainmakers is influence, that special quality that Rainmakers have and wield so effectively. In our closing keynote, Emma examines how to deliberately and strategically develop  and exercise influence to achieve your goals.

Pressure and influence go hand in hand for Rainmakers and are areas that Emma Dutton is uniquely qualified to discuss. Emma gained her experience in influence from some of the most high stress military environments in the world. Over five tours of Afghanistan, Emma was placed in leadership and governance roles, leading teams that collected time sensitive life-saving information.
