#KatieTalks with James Fielding: The Rainmaker Myth and the New Rules of Professional Services Growth
Episode 46
Friday, 5 June, 2026

In this episode of #KatieTalks, Katie Bennett-Stenton speaks with James Fielding, her business partner at Camojee, about the first major theme from their new report, Rethinking Rainmakers: How Top Firms Multiply Talent and Drive 42% Better Growth. This first conversation explores what is broken in professional services growth, and why firms that rely too heavily on individual rainmakers risk capping performance. Katie and James discuss why sustainable growth requires more than star performers. It requires better systems, stronger pipeline discipline, aligned rewards, embedded collaboration and a shift from individual heroics to institutional growth capability. A strategic conversation for managing partners, CEOs, business development leaders and growth-focused executives rethinking how professional services firms grow.
