Orit Ramler Szulik brings a wealth of professional experience to her activities as a Personal and Organizational Coach and Consultant. A seasoned leader, entrepreneur, manager, educator and fundraiser in both business as well as the not-for-profit sector, Orit is also a trained Learning Specialist and Certified Ontological Coach. This background informs and enriches her coaching in many ways, making her a true catalyst for authentic and meaningful change.
Orit built Make It A Good One℠ coaching and consulting on her 25 years of experience as a Learning Specialist. Over the years, assisting young people with special needs and learning challenges, Orit gained insight into learning and motivation. She came to understand that it is not only those with a special “learning disabled” label who struggle with learning and growth, but instead, that we all have opportunities to expand the sometimes rigid structure of our minds, and open them to new possibilities and other levels of awareness.
Born in Israel, Orit has lived in seven different countries from the Middle East to Latin America to the United States, where she currently resides. A true “citizen of the world,’ Orit has a unique understanding of human behavior, and how it is within our differences that we find common ground. Fluent in Spanish, English and Hebrew, Orit knows there are many levels of understanding. As with a foreign language, we can understand the literal meaning of words, but we gain deeper insight when we learn the cultural context of words and phrases.
Orit founded Make it a Good One℠ coaching and consulting in response to her life philosophy that no matter what, we can always make it a good one by taking ownership and action in our daily lives.
Orit currently lives in North Carolina with her husband and their two children.
