Rainmakers: Born or Bred?
Presented by: Pat Gillette
Ever wonder why some people are more successful at developing business than others? That is the question that was answered in a groundbreaking study conducted by our presenter and rainmaker herself for over 40 years, Pat Gillette. The study used psychological testing and behavioral interviewing to assess the skills and personal characteristics of over 300 partners in law firms across the United States. In this presentation, she will share the results of that study and provide practical tips on how you can position yourself to become a rainmaker and enhance your business development skills.
