This world-class executive and leadership coach has applied her insight, experience, and skills to the personal domain of how we live our lives and capture our essence. This practical book offers an approach that can be truly transformational. We often do not realize what we have or what we have done until we take the time to collect what matters to us and what we have experienced--both positive and negative--by reflecting on our own experiences and our ability to positively affect others. Filled with examples, compassion, and humanity, The Box of Life guides us to think more deeply about our life. But rather than waiting until the end of life to reflect on and appreciate what is important, this book helps us to start now and be more intentional about what we do and what we leave as our legacy. This is a book everyone should read and take to heart.""--Sim B. Sitkin, the Michael W.

Perhaps one that captures your life, your memories, your stories, your questions. Orit Ramler's vibrant entrepreneurial spirit and compassionate coaching skills shine throughout this jewel of a book, as she shares stories, raises questions, and helps us consider what matters to each of us as we create, layer by layer, our own deeply meaningful boxes of life."" --Betsy Polk Joseph, coauthor of Power through Partnership: How Women Lead Better Together"
