Columbus roster grows to two rigorously vetted, proven coaches
COLUMBUS, August 25, 2026 — The Women Leaders Association, the largest publisher and events organization for women professionals with 43,000 members and more than 130 chapters, today named Wendy McWherter a Coaching Partner of its Columbus chapter, ColumbusWomenLeaders.org, bringing the chapter's roster of vetted coaches to two.
Under the association's Coaching Partners program, every coach is vetted for recognized credentials, verifiable experience, and excellent client reviews before appearing on a chapter site, so members can engage with confidence.
The higher leaders rise, the fewer places they have to think out loud. McWherter believes every leader deserves a trusted thinking partner, someone who asks the questions others don't, challenges assumptions, and helps transform vision into purposeful action. An Executive Coach, trainer, and founder of McWherter Coaching Group, she partners with executives, business owners, and emerging leaders ready to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. She is an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation and separately holds the Executive and Professional Coach Certification from The University of Texas at Dallas. With more than two decades of leadership experience across business, higher education, nonprofit organizations, and entrepreneurship, her coaching is future-focused and action-oriented: clients reflect, plan, and do, turning awareness into decisions and decisions into purposeful action. Clients describe her as insightful, thoughtful, and deeply invested in their success.

"The higher you rise, the fewer places you have for honest, confidential conversations," said McWherter. "Every leader deserves a trusted thinking partner. You set the agenda. I provide the questions, challenge, encouragement, perspective, and accountability. The goal isn't simply insight. It's meaningful progress."
"Wendy names the problem our most senior members know best. The higher you lead, the fewer places you have to think out loud," said Lydia Price, 2026 Volunteer Chair. "With two vetted coaches now in Columbus, our members can find the right partner for the challenge in front of them."
