I've screened my films in over 10 countries and 3 continents and written over 150 articles in the past two years. Lately, I've been focusing on helping people through speaking, presenting workshops, consulting and coaching on storytelling practices and how we can use them to connect deeper with our communities and audiences, solidify and strengthen our marketing messages, and increase sales and donations. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:"I was truly mesmerized while Rain was giving his presentation and telling a story at the same time. He increasingly captivated me more and more for nearly an hour until he finally pulled me off the edge of my seat! He has to be one of the great storytellers of all time." — Paul Callahan, CEO, Sail to Prevail"I went from telling boring stories to telling engaging ones, after attending Rain's workshop. Rain doesn’t just lecture, he engages his audience. From the tears to the laughter to the face full of water (you had to be there!) it was a day to remember. He is truly great at what he does. — Linda Mathiasen, Director of Graphic Services, Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corporation"You know you've found a successful speaker when the session ends, and ten or more people line up to talk one-on-one with him. Rain is dynamic, engaging, and approachable. He is an incredible presenter, and I will undoubtedly seek out opportunities for him to speak at other conferences I attend because he's such a rockstar." — Caitland Orlicz, Communications Director, Knoxville Area Association of REALTORSLET'S CONNECT AND BUILD!
