Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Pat Hinton Walker of Coaching Stepping Stones

Canton, GA – Pat Hinton Walker is the founder of Coaching Stepping Stones, where she specializes in career and life transition as well as executive leadership development.

Prior to launching Coaching Stepping Stones, Walker was a leader in the nursing profession. Naturally, her coaching integrates health and wellness.

“Everything we do and don’t do impacts our health and wellness,” says Walker. “Health and wellness coaching touches everyone.”

“We tend to think the only mind we have is in our head,” says Walker. “The key is: what does it take to get the attention of the person? The body will eventually demand your attention.”

“When you have optimal health and wellness, your heart, your head and your gut are all buddies hanging out and having a good time,” explains Walker. “When you're not, then the heart, the head and the gut and are not friendly anymore. They don't like each other. They plot against each other. Health and wellness integrate us.”

Health and wellness coaching touches organizations, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“At an organizational level we’ve been following COVID protocols, but health and wellness extends to what’s in the vending machines, as well as how are leaders help employees manage stress,” says Walker. “If you've got a leader that cares about their own health, frequently they will value health within the company.”

In addition to assisting people to be the best they can be, Walker also teaches health and wellness coaching to coaches who are trying to be certified.
