STEPPING STONES COACHING

What is special about Stepping Stones Coaching?

STEPPING STONES COACHING is a company founded by Patricia Hinton Walker, PhD, RN, FAAN, which is focused on meeting the needs of individuals, groups and organizations through coaching.  It is built on Hinton Walker Associates which was established to provide organizational development consultation and training in the 1980’s.  STEPPING STONES COACHING AND CONSULTING primarily focuses on finding a healhy lifestyle and work-life balance, career development and progression for professionals, executives, entrepreneurs interested in starting new businesses, and small business owners who are already in business.  Additionally, some clients are interested in life transitions related to career transitions, such as: 

• deciding ways to enhance your health/wellness and find the work-life harmony needed to fully life your purpose or calling!   
• deciding the right role (career or executive) or life transition role that will provide your next 'fulfilling vision for your life and 'next dream'!
• making decisions about finding fulfillment and 'next' meaningful purpose and “calling” when it is time to depart from traditional work-life as a successful professional.

 Engagement in a coaching relationship with Pat Hinton Walker at STEPPING STONES COACHING AND CONSULTING will provide you or your organization, as a client, with a unique experience designed to capitalize on your strengths, your values, your healthy living choices to be who you are as a person.  It will help you get in touch with what will provide meaning in your life at that particular point on your journey. 

Coaching is enhanced with a deep understanding of self using a variety of assessments chosen based on the client’s needs and goals.  Examples include the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI), learning how type dynamics inform decision-making and priorities,; Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EIQ) if relevant to the goals of the client;  and use of the VIA (Values in Action) Positive Psychology Strengths Inventory.   Other assessments may be used based on the client's goals and preferences including the Pearson-Marr Archetypes Inventory and Spiritual Pathways.  Pat is certified to administer and interpret the Myers Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) and Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EIQ) and she has had additional training on both the MBTI and EIQ in coaching. 

 At STEPPING STONES COACHING we view difficult times on life's path not as ‘lessons learned’ which come from a negative perspective, but as a ‘legacy’ to take forward like a guide on a path that informs future choices; this turns what were challenges into helpful experience and expertise! 

Clients particularly value the evidence-driven approach to behavioral and other type of change processes from: 

• seeking clarity about next steps to
• identifying the right behavior change whether related to health/wellness, role/position, or finding meaning after exiting the 'rat-race'.  
• coaching is extended to "On-Boarding" clients in their successful transition into the next role(s).
