Leadership Development with Bruce Tulgan and RainmakerThinking
From a focused webinar series to a six-month, year-long, or multi-year leadership development initiative,
Bruce Tulgan and the RainmakerThinking team create customized programs built around your people,
priorities, culture, and schedule.
Combine live learning with practical tools, ongoing application, and optional reinforcement to help
leaders turn proven management principles into consistent daily practice.
A keynote or workshop can introduce powerful ideas, create shared language, and energize your audience.
Some organizations are looking for something more sustained: a structured learning journey that helps
leaders apply those ideas over time.
Bruce works with organizations to develop customized leadership training initiatives that may extend
over several months, a full year, or multiple years. Each initiative is designed around the client’s
objectives and can combine live in-person programs, remote sessions, individual application,
assessment, and digital reinforcement.
These are not off-the-shelf training packages. Bruce and the RainmakerThinking team work with you to
determine the right content, delivery schedule, level of customization, and methods of reinforcement
for your organization.
Customized initiatives can be developed for:
Your initiative may include any combination of the following components.
Bruce can lead an in-person kickoff, workshop, leadership retreat, executive session, or capstone
program. In-person events can stand alone or serve as milestone moments within a longer initiative.
A sequence of live remote sessions allows participants to learn, practice, and return with questions
and real-world examples. Sessions can be delivered monthly, quarterly, or according to a schedule
designed around your organization.
Participants may receive pre-reading, worksheets, discussion guides, and between-session assignments
that help them apply the concepts in actual conversations, projects, and management situations.
Informational surveys, self-assessments, 360 instruments, interviews, and other assessment methods can
help identify current challenges, establish a baseline, customize the curriculum, and evaluate progress.
Depending on the program scope and availability, selected initiatives may include individual or small-group
advisory conversations to help participants apply the material to their specific leadership responsibilities.
Relevant RainmakerLearning video lessons can reinforce the live sessions, provide additional instruction,
and give participants on-demand access to Bruce’s research-based management and workplace content.
A concluding virtual or in-person session can review key learnings, success stories, implementation
challenges, and participants’ next development goals. Feedback gathered in advance can be used to
customize the capstone around what actually happened during the initiative.
Every engagement is customized, but the following formats provide useful starting points for the
design conversation.
A sequenced series of live remote sessions focused on a defined set of leadership or management
priorities.
A webinar series may include:
A six-month, year-long, or multi-year initiative combining several delivery methods to create
sustained learning and application.
A blended initiative may include:
A customized cohort experience for employees preparing to take on greater responsibility or
transition from technical expertise into leadership.
Programs can address:
An initiative that begins with surveys, interviews, or other assessment methods to identify
leadership strengths, management gaps, workplace challenges, and development priorities.
Findings can be used to customize the learning sequence, focus each session on real organizational
needs, and provide leadership with clear recommendations for continued development.
Bruce draws on decades of workplace research, 21 books, and extensive experience working with
leaders and organizations around the world. Your initiative can focus on one priority or combine
multiple topics into a connected curriculum.
