Phillip Manginelli, Sr Pastor, Square Church
Patrick is an incredible mentor and coach. Over the course of the last year he has coached me through the transition from the corporate world into a new non-profit role. He is patient and communicates with kindness and grace all while helping me clarify my vision and accomplish my goals. ​
​Mitch Rummpe, Senior Leader, The Local
Patrick Harrison is a visionary leader and an insightful coach. His penetrating questions have helped me see the answers to the most difficult leadership challenges I applaud his unscripted and individualized approach: he makes you feel like you’re more than a step-by-step process; instead, he enables you to look at your situation from angles you may not have considered. He inspires you to create a plan of action to work through it to the end. But my favorite thing by far is him as a person!
