“On January 22, 2015, our annual Movement Day Greater Dallas conference was held at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in downtown Dallas, Texas with over 1,900 participants in attendance. Dr. Shelette Stewart, plenary session speaker, brought her own special qualities which combined so well to make this conference a memorable one. In addition to delivering a good message, Dr. Stewart challenged us to take action and be agents of change. As she addressed our best-attended conference to date, she taught us how to implement deep spiritual truths while using sound business principles. I remember her saying that we can be humble and powerful, young and wise, elderly and vibrant, blind and visionary when we dedicate the work to Christ. She was informative, interesting, and stimulating to all in attendance.”

“Powerful. Thought-provoking. Inspirational. Transformative. These are just some of the words aptly used to describe Shelette’s presentation at the 2013 NAAWLI, Inc. Leadership Program. Based solely on the presentation topic “Connecting Your Profession to Your Purpose”, the NAAWLI Fellows anticipated an informative session mixed with pointers useful in business. What they actually received equated to a masterclass in self-awareness. Shelette’s confident yet unassuming style encouraged dialogue among the class of thought-leaders. Her content stimulated minds intellectually and spiritually. And the context in which she framed her presentation prompted reflection, perspective and an immediate desire to take bold and definitive action. There is absolutely no doubt that, as a result of Shelette’s presentation, the NAAWLI, Inc. Class of 2013 is poised for positive change personally and professionally.

“Dr. K. Shelette Stewart is one of those rare individuals whose business acumen addresses a broad range of venues. Because her insights are captured in the form of principles and strategies, they can be customized to many challenging scenarios experienced by organizational leaders. The kernel of wisdom remains intact, but implementation adapts to the resources of organizations. Moreover, Dr. Stewart herself delivers these concepts with clarity, enthusiasm, and theological accuracy. Thus, she motivates as she equips. No dry scholarship from Dr. Stewart. On the contrary, lively interaction, stimulation to innovate and “let’s get it done” mentality pervade the style and atmosphere of her persona.”

“I knew the first time I met Shelette Stewart she was different and very special. That is why I introduced her to the staff of Georgetown College and encouraged them to find a way to incorporate her gifts and talents into our efforts. I was delighted that a cross section of our team saw her skill set and worked together to invite her for several days. I was not the least surprised as I began to hear rumblings that she was taking our campus by storm. Students, staff and faculty sought to be with her. They listened to her experiences, they learned from her knowledge, they were lifted up and they were inspired by her inspirational testimony. She is a living example that corporate professionalism and a commitment to a deep faith can not only exist side by side but the combination of the two create a dynamic that can help any individual rise to new levels of results personally, spiritually and professionally!”
