In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love welcomes back Pat Gillette—litigator, author, and one of the country’s leading voices on rainmaking and gender equity in the legal profession—for a conversation on rainmaking lessons during times of crisis. Pat shares how the COVID-era shift to remote work opened up unique opportunities for professionals to strengthen client relationships by simply reaching out and showing genuine care. She emphasizes that meaningful connection and visibility are key drivers of business development, especially for those who may not consider themselves natural rainmakers. Pat also dives into the topic of self-promotion, explaining how it’s less about bragging and more about confidently articulating your value in a way that resonates with others. She offers tactical advice for professionals—especially women—on how to accept compliments, tell personal success stories, use social media effectively, and ask for opportunities without fear. This episode is filled with practical strategies for building visibility, managing self-doubt, and promoting yourself with authenticity and purpose. https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------- Patricia K.
