R.M. Stewart

Throughout my career, I have met or exceeded all job performance and job-related expectations and often rewarded with corporate advancement. I maintain a positive, professional attitude and code of conduct. I am highly organized, goal oriented and focus driven. My strengths are leadership, administration, organization, analysis and discernment. I have a proven ability to analyze systems and processes and suggest solutions for increased productivity and efficiency. I am ready to join your organization and make a significant contribution to your team and organization’s brand.

Utilizing a blend of 35 years of experience, special gifts, unique abilities and the operational skills of Leadership, Team Building, Discernment, Analysis, Administration, Organization, I assist teams:

As a Mediator – Unfortunately, team members have disagreements. Those disagreements often lead to conflict. Work place conflict, when left alone, can escalate beyond control causing the loss of good managers, supervisors and workers. I have completed 80 hours of mediation training in Family, Civil, Commercial and Employment matters. I have been listed on the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Registry of Certified Mediators.

As a Financial Consultant/Analyst – I’ve served as a Capital Campaign Consultant and have developed a proven resource to increase revenue. I have analyzed many non-profit’s financial policies and procedures; sometimes in the midst of a discovered embezzlement. I conduct a “Financial Review,” something like an audit without the professional endorsement. I provide guidance on the correct federal (IRS) tax regulations, policies and procedures that can protect a church from financial liability.

As a Leadership Coach – Using the The Real You personal assessment tool I developed, individuals learn how to better understand themselves and others – “what makes them tick”. When pastors, staff and church members learn how to better understand each other and spot potential areas of disagreement, conflict is inherently reduced; and sometimes eliminated!

As a Analyst/Marketing Specialist – Being an award-winning regional sales manager, I understand effective and creative marketing.  I have helped churches and organizations through the complete process of “rebranding”: including logos, colors, letterhead and church signage. I make recommendations about membership/accounting software, digital technology and proper usage of building and space issues.

As a Conference leader – I have shared the “Understanding Those Millennials” conference locally, regionally and nationally. I provide direction and organizational structure for small teams up to large, multi-faceted teams.

  • I have also been a manager in the food service industry on three occasions; excelled as a regional sales manager by landing some of the largest accounts in the firm’s history, I have maintained a personal/marriage counseling ministry for over 20 years. My hobby is diagnosing and fixing almost anything that is broken. My specialty is small engine repair.
