W-E-P-T :: Therese Marie – Coaching Leaders, Developing Careers

The acronym suggests that we professional women have wept…probably not openly, but we’ve WEPT as we have “gone through” transition. This women’s group recognizes the discomfort of transition, but it focuses on the possibility of navigating life’s changes effectively by including the resources of other women.

The Vision…

…is a world in which all women engaged in powerful life transitions experience balance and inner harmony by growing in self-awareness, self-love and self-respect. This vision allows abundance to emerge through quality relationships among honest and open people.

Two years ago, the idea to start a women’s group for women who are experiencing some type of transition was born. In my line of work, I continually meet women who are transitioning: changing careers, getting divorced, getting married, losing a spouse, losing a job, saying good-bye to children leaving for college…the list goes on. But the time for my idea to become reality wasn’t right. You see, I was navigating my own transitions: beginning a marriage, getting a divorce, becoming a step-mom and then saying ‘good-bye,’ experiencing the deaths of several people very close to me, coming to terms with codependency, addiction and alcoholism, entering recovery, changing my business model, relocating my home and office, and enduring extreme financial upheaval as a result. But now, the time to provide a forum for professional women in transition feels right.

The Objective…

…to provide a coach-facilitated forum for women who are navigating significant life transitions so they may openly discuss what’s important with those who share similar experiences. Through open discussion, participants will not only more effectively navigate transition, but can experience growth in all life domains: physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social.

While navigating transition alone may be possible for a professional woman, it’s often painful and it always lasts too long. In my journey, I found success lay in tapping into the wisdom of a “tribe of strong females” who could help me get to the “other side.” W-E-P-T is a recreation of the tribe that supported me through transition. This group allows participants to learn from the experience of other female leaders who have navigated their own changes…which often bear striking similarities. W-E-P-T is built upon the idea that by talking it out, women move through transition successfully with the aid of other women who’ve “been there, done that.”
