Since 2004, Rainmaker Strategies Group has gained valuable insights into the unique needs and challenges that not-for-profit organizations face and has provided programs in organizational development, staff learning and strategic planning. Some of the organizations we have worked with include over 40 Community groups and agencies in the Developmental Services sector, many charities and shelters, hospitals, organizations such as CCAC, CAMH and government ministries. Our solutions are designed to inspire teams to a greater level of accountability, promote authentic communication and build a healthy workplace culture.

Our programs are distinguished from others by our REAL focus – REAL means “Relevant, Evidence-based, Applicable and Lasting.” All our workshops, coaching and assessments are selected to provide Relevant examples and case studies that match the workplace. They are Evidence-based because the tools and concepts we teach are research-based, proven techniques known to create powerful results. Applicable relates to processes that are designed to give you practical ways to apply what you are learning on-the-job. Finally, rather than just offering temporary motivation, our programs are developed to have a Lasting behavioural effect on participants that persists beyond the event.
