Graduated from Minnesota State University in MBA and University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in Bachelor of Business Finance, Stewart has served in Minnesota Governor Trade Office in St Paul promoting trade to Asian countries. Back in Singapore, Stewart has served multinational corporations conducting workshops and consultations.
Stewart has been disillusioned with the development in modern time. Despite of development of technology, there is little progress in human development. We are living in a more divisive time than ever. Human has less trust toward other human. The pandemic and the trade war have put human into greater distrust. We are living in a dangerous time. Having good human relationship begin with the love we receive from home.
Our loving relationship begins from home. Individuals with solid human relationship are more likely to be better leaders.
