As the chief consultant of Inside Solutions, Ronit Herzfeld creates clarity and focus for CEO’s and managers enabling them to evaluate existing strategies and goals, identify communication and process breakdowns, assess employee relations, define new goals and strategies, create tools for ongoing checks and balances, and build and expand on successful strategies. Ronit’s earlier experiences as founder and president of an international human rights organization, and a past director of a psychiatric crisis and trauma team, have given her a unique understanding of human behavior and organizational process, and an unparalleled ability to work with individuals who must function under the most challenging and novel conditions.
Prior to launching Inside Solutions, Ronit founded World Artists for Tibet (www.art4tibet1998.org), a nonprofit human rights organization. As the president of this organization, Ronit developed the concept of a two month long world-wide arts celebration to bring attention to the ongoing cultural genocide in Tibet (July-August 1998). She enrolled and worked closely with the Office of the Dalai Lama and the European Parliament, created the web site and brochures, networked with major artists, celebrities, museums, galleries, theaters and clubs around the world, and coordinated the production of hundreds of multimedia events in 45 countries which celebrated the Tibetan culture and the human spirit.
Prior to World Artists for Tibet, Ronit was the director of a psychiatric crisis and trauma program funded by the New York Department of Mental Health and delivered by the Visiting Nurse Service of New York for eight years. In that capacity, Ronit was in charge of providing psychiatric assessment and treatment to individuals experiencing severe psychological and emotional crisis. These services often required working with life and death issues on a daily basis. In addition, Ronit provided bereavement counseling to the families of passengers on TWA flight 800 and the victims of the World Trade Center bombings.
Ronit’s social activism work continued to expose her to the hardships facing different parts of the world including, Haiti, Israel and the Palestinian territories. Developing a greater understanding of the challenges facing our planet, Ronit is currently creating an organization; Transform the Planet, whose mission is to unify a global community committed to the promotion and embodiment of a vibrant, peaceful and thriving planet.
In her private therapeutic practice, Ronit continues to share her extraordinary experience, wisdom and spirit with individuals, couples and families, empowering them to step into the generous, expansive, selfless, passionate, creative and joyous creatures we were all born to be.
Ronit’s psychiatric experiences were acquired at Long Island Hillside Medical Center, an in-patient psychiatric facility, where she provided assessment and treatment to severely mentally ill patients and their families.
A graduate of Adelphi University with a degree in Masters of Social Work, Ronit received her B.A. in psychology from Queens College. |
