About the author
Wayne Stewart was born a farm boy with hay fever. His private sector career spanned 27 years throughout which he strived to build a sense of community in the workplace.
In 1991, Wayne began a second career in the nonprofit sector. He has served as the senior executive of three charities and as volunteer consultant and board member of many more. He has taught grammar school chemistry in England, leadership to MBA students at the University of Alberta, environmental studies to medical practitioners in Uganda and story telling to nonprofit studies students at Mount Royal University in Calgary. A strong desire to serve led him into electoral politics on two occasions.
Throughout his life, he has continually asked himself the important life question- “who am I?” and has helped many others with their own search. A life long learner, Wayne has degrees in engineering, political science, religious studies and philosophy and an MBA. He has learned from and been inspired by many friends and mentors notably Dr. Grant MacEwan.
His vocation is giving voice to those who are not heard. His joy and reward comes from those who seek his counsel and support.
