Most Rainmakers Do You Share These Traits

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Most Rainmakers: Do you share these traits? School started yesterday in Prosper, Texas. As I was cruising Facebook I noticed several  Windsong Ranch  moms posted photos of their kids who are seniors and titled them the last, first day of school. One mother lamented that no one posted the last first day of work. I could be at that point. In 2010, I coached 125 lawyers and I was on the road every month. Since I left my law practice in 2005, I have never coached as few lawyers as I am coaching in 2017. So, maybe January 2, 2017 was my last first day of work. We’ll see. I practiced law a long time. I’ve coached lawyers for over 12 years. I’ve seen and coached a lot of rainmakers. At the risk of overgeneralizing, here are some traits I have observed: There is nothing magical about the traits in the list above. I know some traits may not come naturally to everyone. When I was practicing law, I worked harder on those that did not come naturally to me. You can follow that path also. Two final points: I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
