Message from John:
Fortune has rained on my life dozens of extraordinary mentors. In the beginning there was my father and mother. As I moved from childhood on through to adulthood, mentors from all walks of life helped me find balance, wisdom and understanding. There is a common thread weaving my web of mentors together –the thread of balance that comes from understanding the value of working with others to accomplish a greater good.
These special men and women taught me a powerful life lesson; true success comes from enabling and empowering others to succeed. I have experienced this lesson through my mentors for close to 50 years.
The Rainmaker Effect is a non-profit entity was founded on this common thread with the stated purpose of “empowering and equipping youth and young adults with the skills, knowledge and tools to become servant leaders in their communities”.
With this purpose, we intend to build an ever-expanding network of mentors and equip them with the skills, tools and resources to make a positive impact on the communities around them. We will accomplish our purpose with a focus on inspiring and equipping mentors to become part of a growing ecosystem where they can freely share their wisdom with mentees.
Finally, we intend to continuously “complete the circle” where mentees involved with a nurturing mentor are inspired and empowered to become mentors themselves. This is the multiplying of the “Rainmaker Effect".
