The WISE Women Project
The Wise Women Project (WWP) is a collaboration between Vivian Crick and Cathy Halat — two experienced coaches, leaders, and facilitators — created to empower women navigating transition and change.
Focused on women who feel they have lost connection with their voice, identity, or direction, WWP offers relatable, practical, and transformational tools to help women lead their lives with confidence, clarity, and empowerment.

Your Coaches
Cathy and Viv first met over a decade ago, working side by side on a high-pressure corporate HR project.
What began as a professional collaboration quickly became a deep friendship, grounded in mutual respect, laughter, and a shared passion for meaningful work. Over the years, our careers evolved — each of us taking different paths into leadership, coaching, and NLP — but we stayed connected, cheering each other on through personal and professional highs and lows.
Through our own life transitions — health challenges, career shifts, reinvention — we both felt the call for something more. We realised how many women were quietly navigating change without the support, clarity, or space they deserved.
That’s why we created the WISE Women Project — a space where women can reconnect with themselves, reclaim their voice, and rise with purpose.
Drawing on our complementary strengths and shared vision, we’re here to walk alongside women who are ready to stop drifting… and start leading their lives with wholeness, integrity, self-leadership, and empowerment.
FAQS
What is the WISE Women Project?
The WISE Women Project is a coaching-led movement created by two women — Vivian Crick and Cathy Halat — who’ve walked through change, transition, and reinvention themselves. It’s a space where women come to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the version of themselves they may have lost touch with. Through tools, coaching, community, and courses, we help women lead their lives with Wholeness, Integrity, Self-Leadership, and Empowerment.
Who is this for?
This is for women who feel like they’ve drifted from themselves — often after life shifts like career burnout, parenting identity shifts, health challenges, relationship changes, or “quiet discontent.” You might not be in crisis, but something inside is nudging: There’s more for me than this. We work with women who want clarity, confidence, and a grounded way forward — in life, work, or both.
Do I need to be a business owner or leader to join?
Not at all. While many of our women are juggling leadership roles — in business, family, or community — WISE is for any woman ready to lead herself. You don’t need a title to belong here. You just need a willingness to grow, reflect, and take ownership of your next steps.
What’s included in the mini-course?
Our foundational mini-course, WISE Women Lead, includes six short, high-impact video lessons — each one focused on a key mindset, NLP tool, or emotional insight.
You’ll learn how to:
- Reframe limiting beliefs
- Regulate your nervous system
- Align your decisions with your values
- Anchor back into calm and clarity
Plus, you’ll get reflection prompts and simple tools to apply immediately. It’s self-paced, practical, and designed for real women with real lives.
How is this different from other coaching programs?
This isn’t a high-pressure fix-it program. We don’t believe you’re broken. This is co-created space with lived experience, grounded tools, and compassionate guidance. We blend NLP, mindset coaching, and real-life leadership with our own stories of navigating health, reinvention, motherhood, grief, and comeback. This work is subtle, deep, and personal — and we walk beside you every step.
What if I don’t have time right now?
You’re not alone in feeling that. That’s actually part of what we teach — how to pause, reclaim time for you, and stop drifting in directions you didn’t choose. Our programs are flexible, and the mini-course is completely self-paced. Even 10 minutes a week can shift your momentum.
Can I work with you one-on-one?
Yes. We each offer coaching and mentoring sessions separately and together, depending on your needs. If you’d like tailored support, we’d love to have a conversation and explore what’s right for you.
Is this a safe and inclusive space?
Yes. We honour each woman’s story, identity, and lived experience. We are inclusive, trauma-aware, and committed to creating an environment of kindness, consent, and non-judgement. We lead with care, and we coach with integrity.
How do I get started?
The easiest place to begin is our mini-course — WISE Women Lead. It’s short, impactful, and will give you immediate tools. From there, you can explore our coaching offers, round table conversations, or connect with us directly.
