What is Women Inventing Themselves (WIT)?

WIT is a cyber network of versatile, clever, committed women like you who are ready to make conscious choices about all aspects of their lives.

There is no doubt that Women Inventing Themselves (WIT) is most "Time-ly!"

Are You a WIT Woman?

• You are exceptionally self-aware, but still open to new insights.
• You contribute to others but realize the importance of self-care.
• You have fulfilled all the "I should's" and are ready to take a few risks.
• You are troubled by the state of the world and wonder what you can do about it.
• You have education, smarts, style and experience but may not yet have found your life's purpose.

WIT and The Visibility Project

WIT is the first special niche group for whom I specifically designed The Visibility Project. Those of you who inspired WIT spoke to me repeatedly of your concerns about creeping invisibility in a world where the contributions of seasoned women are too often overlooked and under-valued. I created the Visibility Project in response to this very real concern.

I developed the visibility program out of my own personal experience. It was hard to feel more invisible than I did when I first returned to the States in September 2001 after 20 years living abroad. I learned that at the time of life when social visibility is increasingly challenged, sustainable visibility - the kind that is a by-product of owning your whole self- is foremost on the agenda.

When I coach a WIT woman, together we address both the sources and the obstacles to her visibility in the present tense of her life. Perhaps her visibility is eclipsed by a refusal to let go of the old ways of being seen. Surely her visibility quotient would rise if she dared reveal some of her quirks and develop her hidden talents. Perhaps, like me, she is negotiating a core tension between a desire for - and fear of - personal visibility.
