I am thrilled to see what I have accomplished in the last nine months. Rachel's business coaching, insight, and perspective have been incredibly helpful, especially to someone so busy in the day to day management of the business. Working with her has deepened my mindset and skills as an effective entrepreneur, and I have found it invaluable to step back and get that holistic view of what it means to be a female founder and run a successful, sustainable business. You are incredibly awesome, what you do is absolutely wonderful, and I am incredibly grateful!

Working with Glocal has been transformative for our organization at a critical time. Through Rachel’s hands-on yet strategic methodology, we were able to design a path forward that we expect to take us from a regional organization to a global leader in International Development. I recommend working with Rachel and Glocal ASAP if you are looking to push your organization forward ambitiously, helping you to focus and align a plan with your strengths, helping to lead you where you really need to go.

My internal dialogue has become much more positive, and I now spend more energy on learning from and moving forward in my business and relationships, and less on tying myself up in knots. It’s incredible! Rachel’s guidance, wealth of knowledge, gentle accountability, and warm reassuring style make this small group coaching immeasurably beneficial to anyone desiring change in their lives. It would also be a great offering for youth, to develop the self-awareness and healthier thought patterns earlier in life. Everyone should dive into this opportunity.

One of the most dynamic and effective international consultants I have ever met - she’s a culturally sensitive, pragmatic, inspired and incredibly knowledgeable business advisor. She worked with several, very different businesses during her time in Jordan, coached us ALL with sensitivity to our specific logistical and cultural challenges, and helped us ALL better understand our respective markets. 

Rachel is simply incredible as a coach & consultant. She is my go-to person when I need clarity in my life or business. She takes me out of my head and into reality by asking me the right questions which forces me to take a different look at the problem at hand. 

Rachel Patterson brings a wealth of experience to the provision of growth consulting services for your organization domestically and abroad. She possesses knowledge of multiple spheres and settings; so you can trust that her approach to assessing and addressing your unique problems and concerns is sui generis. I count Rachel Patterson among the top tier of professionals I have encountered in her field.

A great project manager, combining a caring and goal-oriented mindset, and creating productive relationships within the Agency and with many major funders. Possesses great insight into the financial aspects of non-profit management, and was a valuable and collaborative team-member in managing, improving, funding and propelling forward the organization in very challenging times. 

Through an organizational overview and needs assessment, Rachel helped us identify areas for simplification and growth, as well as the talents to focus on inviting to our Board.  She then helped us implement, by solidifying job descriptions for volunteers, Board members, and interns. She’s caring, analytical, internationally aware, action oriented and incredibly resourceful.

Combines a no-nonsense approach to business with creativity and a positive spirit.  She is a delightful person who matches her expertise with her integrity.

Very insightful. Analyzed the problems from a spectrum of perspectives, held them together and arrived at a decision. She loves to take charge of a situation and lead it to a resolution.
