The chapter's vetted coaching roster grows to two

RICHMOND, September 29, 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 Rev. M. Olivia Kincaid Haney the newest Coaching Partner of its Richmond chapter, giving members a second rigorously vetted coach to choose from.

Under Coaching Partners, the association does the screening on the member's behalf, vetting every coach for recognized certifications, verifiable experience, and excellent client reviews, so members can book a consultation with confidence.

What Haney enjoys about coaching is walking beside a client as she discovers new ways to approach work, family, and life. Her path into it began when a friend asked her to walk beside her while she served as an interim minister in a conflicted congregation, wanting someone who could listen and offer a different way forward. A Presbyterian Minister and a former Mid-Council Leader, Haney has served in both positions of needing leadership assistance and offering leadership counsel, and the questions at the center of that work are ones any leader carrying responsibility for others will recognize. She is an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation, received a certification in Coaching from Auburn Seminary, and holds a Masters of Divinity from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

"What I enjoy about coaching is walking beside you as you discover new ways to approach work, family and life," said Haney. "In today's challenging world, I offer a way to do things differently, with imagination, love, grace and hope."

"Our vetting always asks the same three questions — credentials, experience, results," said Lydia Price, 2026 Volunteer Chair. "Olivia answers them as both the leader who has asked for help and the leader called in to give it."
