Rachel E Patterson

This is the “home page” for Rachel E Patterson’s identity (she/hers)– personal, organizational and global resilience; singer, friend, traveler, #unityindiversity. I never met another Rachel or Rachele until I was 20 years old. My name has become more popular in the last couple decades, and I’m not a professional runner, lawyer, or a witch, though I’d be happy to meet my name-twins.

People know me, Rachel E Patterson, from my music, my international background, my growth strategy work (facilitating, coaching, consulting), my schooling (SJHS Milano Italy, Virginia, France, University of Chicago) and spiritual circles (multi-faith, Christian, Bahai, meditation, etc).

I’m a big believer in loving and learning from multiple facets of our lives, and from the multiple people around us… and taking good faith action, to leave the world a better place than when we came into it.

 πόλλ’ οἶδ’ ἀλώπηξ, ἀλλ’ ἐχῖνος ἓν μέγα (“a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing”). ~Greek poet, Archilocus

I have lived and/or worked in 14 countries, speak a few languages, have friends of all faith, socio-economic, and gender backgrounds, have multiple interests, and I now live in New York City. I bring people, concepts, and organizations together – to get to know each other, understand issues, find solutions, and have both serious and fun moments doing it.

I have several fascinating former and current clients, serve on four Boards (2 corporate, 2 non-profit), enjoy dozens of close friends around the world, a cuddly and occasionally playful Mario-cat, and love dancing and singing.

I look forward to hearing from you, through any of my initiatives that resonate with you.

Be well,

Rachele (Rachel E Patterson)
