5-Day Programme:

Programme Overview

A rainmaker is an insightful and creative person who brings new business, thinking and change, as if by magic.

Leadership, change, growth, improvement – key buzzwords in business, but what are they and how do you achieve successful and sustainable business growth? Our Rainmaker Programme is designed for experienced managers who wish to step up their leadership capability to deliver improvement in themselves, their area of responsibility and their business. The learning gained has been proven to offer immediate impact and results together with an insightful journey into yourself, and your impact and ability to lead others and your business/area.

The programme is delivered in a practical framework over a 6-month period, which will allow you to reflect and apply the learning. You will have an expert tutor and be involved in active learning together with other delegates from a range of sectors, all of whom will occupy leadership positions.

Our Testimonials

"Turning Factor have worked successfully with PPG on a number of assignments over the past 3 years. The main focus of this work has been the delivery of a programme called ‘Unlock Your Potential.’ This 2 day programme focuses on helping managers understand the difference between leadership and management, how to build trust and how to be more creative in their thinking and leadership.

This programme has been hugely beneficial and was expanded in 2012 to cover more of the UK business units, and now we run 2 sessions per year, putting 20 managers through the programme."

Paul Dowie
HR Director - UK, Ireland & Scandinavia, PPG

"We completed 121’s with each Sales Manager and presented the overall summary in the report which was the foundation to develop the programme which was then presented over 2 days and reviewed a month later.

The immediate feedback was that this was ‘the best training that was ever received’ and also that they found the tutors respectful of their achievements and also knowledgeable in their field to be able to fully associate the learning in a real life situation."

Matthias Kosack
Sales Marketing Director, Adidas

"What is really important is that all our customers receive the highest level of service and experience throughout all my businesses. I know that to achieve a continuous high quality customer experience our people also need development.

We chose to work with Turning Factor to assist in the development of my management team and staff and I have been impressed by their delivery. They are creative in their thinking and approach and are 100% focussed on making sure they deliver what we want and need."

"As a result of the work completed with our Coach we have revised our Business Plan, and have a clear understanding of where we want to get to and why.

We have also completed a big piece of work with regard to the design and implementation of our Company Values. To enable these to be embedded within Warren Services, our Coach facilitated workshops with our Management Team to design and implement Standards which will ensure that the Values are adopted effectively throughout the business."

Richard Bridgman
Chairman, Warren Services

"HJ Heinz has a strong commitment towards developing its leadership capabilities at all levels, and to this end, we have been working in partnership with Turning Factor on developing key members of the senior leadership team.

Coaching has helped me understand the role of a strategic leader, and has helped me manage the transition from ‘Functional Management’. Moreover, it has helped me provide clarity and strategic direction to the senior leadership team at site in order that they better understand their priorities as functional leaders."

Simon Taylor
General Manager, Heinz

Admirable business ethics and high personal values allow them to work well and lead at all levels of our business with a proven focus on performance improvement."
