The Make It a Good One Philosophy
As a certified coach, Orit’s work embraces the philosophy that to have a good life, you must make it a good life. Through her unique approach to empowerment coaching, each client gains insights from their experiences and challenges. She carefully guides clients as they identify their vision and create their roadmap toward achieving goals.
To enable success, this approach to coaching includes:
- Creating a non-judgmental, confidential space to vent and reinvent.
- Actively listening to what you say (or don’t) to help you hear it yourself.
- Engaging in honest, thought-provoking conversations.
- Providing a sounding board to achieve goals.
- Sharing resources and support to move forward.
- Offering accountability check-ins toward meeting objectives.

Orit is dedicated, enthusiastic and truly a student of the ‘art of the possible!’” — Matt Springer, LLC Principal, Madrock Advisors
