Welcome to
Wendy Pechero Coaching

A Space for Clarity, Authenticity, and Real Transformation

You've built a successful life by most measures. You've shown up, delivered results, and met expectations. But somewhere along the way, you started wondering: Is this still what I want? Am I living authentically, or just going through the motions?

​

If you're feeling the gap between who you are and who you want to be—whether you're navigating a career transition, questioning your next chapter, or simply ready to stop performing and start living intentionally—you're in the right place.

​

I'm Wendy Pechero, MS, ACC, and after 20+ years leading teams and navigating complex transitions in academic medicine, I understand what it's like to feel disconnected from what matters most. As an ICF Associate Certified Coach, I help professionals and leaders reconnect with themselves and move forward with clarity and purpose.

​

My coaching is grounded in the RESET™ framework—a comprehensive approach I developed to guide you through five essential domains of authentic living:

  • Reclaim who you are beneath the roles and expectations

  • Examine where control and perfectionism hold you back

  • Speak your truth with confidence

  • Embrace the dreams you've been putting off

  • Transform your life with sustainable, meaningful action

​

This isn't about quick fixes or motivational pep talks. It's about honest self-reflection, building agency, and creating a life that actually feels like yours.

About Wendy Pechero Coaching

I never expected to become a coach. For more than 20 years, I built a successful career in academic medicine—leading teams, managing multimillion-dollar programs, and partnering with brilliant scientists and clinicians at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

​

I loved the work. I was good at it. But I also experienced what happens when achievement comes at the expense of authenticity—when you’re moving so fast and delivering so much that you lose touch with yourself.

​

My own journey of reconnection led me to coaching. I earned my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation and have spent some time coaching professionals at UT Southwestern. I watched people transform not by pushing harder, but by getting honest about what mattered and making choices that aligned with their values.

​

Now, as I transition from institutional leadership into a new chapter, I’m building a coaching practice that supports others through the transitions, questions, and reckonings I know so well.

Credentials

  • Associate Certified Coach (ACC), International Coaching Federation

  • Master of Science in Molecular Biology, University of Texas at Dallas

  • Certificate in Public Health, UT Health Sciences Center Dallas

  • 20+ years of leadership experience in academic medicine and research strategy

  • Former Director of Research Strategy, UT Southwestern Medical Center

My Approach

I don’t do cheerleading or fluff. My coaching is direct, grounded in real-world experience, and focused on sustainable, meaningful change. I ask hard questions with compassion and hold you accountable with kindness. My work integrates practical tools from my leadership background with the deep self-reflection that supports authentic growth.

​

I’m especially drawn to working with people who’ve been successful by external measures yet feel disconnected from what truly matters—people ready to close the gap between who they are and who they want to become.

​

If you’re looking for someone who understands the complexity of leadership, transition, and reinvention—because I’ve lived it—let’s talk.

About: The RESET FRAME WORK

My Approach to Coaching

The RESET™ framework is the foundation of how I coach. It's a structured yet flexible approach that helps you examine five critical domains where most people lose themselves—and find the clarity and courage to make meaningful change.

R - RECLAIM Who You Are

Over time, we accumulate roles, responsibilities, and others' expectations until we lose sight of who we actually are. This domain helps you reconnect with your core values, strengths, and what genuinely matters to you—not what you think should matter.

We explore:

  • What energizes you versus what drains you

  • Your values and whether your life reflects them

  • Where you're being yourself versus performing a role

E - EXAMINE Control

High achievers often rely on control and perfectionism to feel safe. But overcontrol creates rigidity, micromanagement, and burnout. This domain helps you identify where control is limiting you and learn to trust yourself and others more.

We explore:

  • Your relationship with delegation and "good enough"

  • Perfectionism and unrealistic standards

  • Where you're holding on too tightly

S - SPEAK Your Truth

Many people silence themselves to keep the peace, avoid conflict, or maintain approval. But unexpressed needs and opinions create resentment and disconnection. This domain builds your capacity to communicate authentically and advocate for yourself.

We explore:

  • When and why you hold back

  • Navigating difficult conversations

  • Expressing needs, boundaries, and disagreement

E - EMBRACE Your Dreams

In the daily grind of responsibility, dreams get shelved. This domain reconnects you with what you truly want—not what's practical or expected, but what lights you up and gives your life meaning.

We explore:

  • What you want for your next chapter

  • What's stopping you from pursuing it

  • Small steps toward what matters

T - TRANSFORM Your Life

Insight without action changes nothing. This domain focuses on sustainable implementation—following through on commitments, maintaining boundaries, building systems that support your growth, and celebrating progress.

We explore:

  • What's worked and what hasn't in the past

  • Creating accountability and support systems

  • Measuring progress and adjusting course

How RESET Works in Coaching

The RESET™ Discovery Assessment is available as a powerful starting point to quickly identify which domains need attention. Many clients begin here to gain clarity on where to focus our work together.

Whether you use the assessment or not, the RESET framework guides our coaching conversations. We'll identify patterns, examine what's holding you back, and build practical strategies to move you forward. The focus is always on what matters most to you.

This approach works for:

  • Professionals navigating career transitions

  • Leaders seeking more authentic leadership

  • Anyone struggling with perfectionism or people-pleasing

  • People questioning their next chapter

  • Those ready to stop going through the motions

You don't need to be in crisis. You just need to be ready for something different.

What if I'm not sure which package is right for me?

That's what the complimentary compatibility session is for. We'll discuss your goals and situation to determine the best fit.

Yes. If you start with 3 months and want to extend, we can transition to the 6-month package with adjusted pricing.

​

Life happens. We can pause your package for up to 4 weeks if needed. Just communicate early.

​

What to Expect from Coaching

Coaching isn't therapy. It's not consulting. It's a partnership focused on helping you gain clarity, build agency, and take action aligned with who you want to be.

​

What clients typically experience:

In the early sessions:

  • Relief at finally having space to be honest about what's not working

  • Clarity on patterns that have been holding you back

  • Initial steps toward change that feel manageable and meaningful

  • A sense of being truly heard and understood

As coaching progresses:

  • Increased self-awareness and ability to catch yourself in old patterns

  • More confidence speaking up and setting boundaries

  • Visible progress in at least one key area of your life

  • Better understanding of what you want and why

  • Stronger ability to make decisions aligned with your values

By the time we complete our work together:

  • Sustainable changes in how you show up personally and professionally

  • Stronger alignment between your values and your daily choices

  • Increased capacity to navigate difficult situations with clarity

  • A clear sense of your next steps and how to maintain momentum

What coaching won't do:

  • Give you all the answers (you have more wisdom than you think)

  • Fix everything overnight (meaningful change takes time)

  • Make decisions for you (my job is to help you access your own clarity)

  • Eliminate all challenges (but it will help you navigate them better)

What coaching will do:

  • Create space for honest reflection

  • Challenge you with compassion

  • Hold you accountable to what matters

  • Provide tools and frameworks that work

  • Help you build the life you actually want

Note: The depth and scope of transformation naturally varies based on your goals and the length of our coaching relationship. Whether you work with me for 3 sessions, 3 months, or 6 months, you'll gain meaningful insights and practical tools for moving forward.
