My name is Phil Okrend, founder of Stepping Stones Coaching, Inc. As a Certified Life and Business Coach with experience (JD degree, psychology degree, trained mediator, successful business owner, certified ESL instructor through Duke University), I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients and guiding them on a journey towards authentic success. My background and experience make me uniquely qualified to deal with the challenges faced by professionals, i.e. attorneys, doctors and managers. I have been keenly interested in the ways that smart and educated people can limit their effectiveness by being in conflict with others, or becoming engaged in debilitating power struggles. I give them a way to see past their situation and to make empowering new decisions with new accompanying actions.
In my professional journey, I began my career as an attorney, and I found myself dissatisfied with my career direction. As I started to honor my own feelings, I took chances, step by step that opened up to a new way of living and working that changed my life. Read more about Phil

“Being coached by Phil has greatly improved my professional relationships and has made me more productive and focused on the job. I’m more relaxed enabling me to handle stress better. I still take my job seriously, but emotionally, I depend much less on the approval of my company and my boss. I understand the transient nature of my current position and that better things lie ahead. The effect on my personal life is tremendous. I have gained confidence, am more self-assured, and am less anxious when meeting new people. I was able to better understand what my ideal relationship would be like. Prior to coaching, I knew exactly what I did not want, but not what I wanted. My needs have become much clearer to me now.
Thank you, Phil, for your excellent insightful coaching! I feel that I am a more complete balanced being. I will definitely use your coaching services again.Wolfgang R., Biomedical Imaging Scientist
"You helped me change my life! I learned how to look at myself and the world differently by making authentic choices. Specifically, the coaching helped root out my fears until I realized those fears were baseless. Your requests and challenges kept me taking action on what was really important to me. I feel empowered to step out into the world with confidence, wide open and with great anticipation of my future."
Trinnie B., Attorney"Since I began working with Phil a little more than a year ago, my average monthly sales have increased by 43%, my income results have been much more consistent,and I have greater peace of mind about the direction in which my business is heading."
Teb B., Former High Tech Marketing Executive Who Made the Transition to Entrepreneur
I am really thankful to you for encouraging me to start writing fiction. Your acute wisdom and gentle understanding during our sessions was a crucial turning point in
my growth as an artist. It is the truth - you have a gift for coaching and I hope you help many, many more people find their authentic selves as you have for me.
S.M., Contract Attorney
"You have a rare talent to balance the business aspects of coaching while being personable. Your coaching has profoundly impacted my life. It gave me the courage to take specific actions in my life that I normally would not have done. My relationship with my wife has improved, and I am finally pursuing another career which is something I have talked about for decades and never did anything about. I also appreciated your flexibility in hours and physical or remote coaching."
