Founder of Amy Stewart Learning and Development Leadership and Emotional Intelligence Specialist
“I’m Amy Stewart, founder of Amy Stewart Learning and Development — a leadership development and early career consultancy created with one clear goal: to help businesses thrive by inspiring and developing talent, and driving results with impact and purpose.
I’ve spent over 25 years designing and delivering no-fluff, high-impact learning experiences across a multitude of industries — from financial services and government to tech, retail, adult education, and not-for-profits.
My passion is helping people unlock their potential, supporting leaders through transformational change and creating workplace cultures that people want to be part of.
My background includes a degree in Commerce and Tourism, a Graduate Diploma in Vocational Education and Training, and qualifications in Training and Assessment and Leadership & Management. I’m an accredited Genos Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, LSI Practitioner, and certified in a range of evidence-based tools including Situational Leadership II, DDI Targeted Selection, GlobeSmart and Deloitte 360 Feedback.
Clients often describe me as a dynamic facilitator and engaging presenter who creates powerful, practical transformation — for individuals, teams and organisations. I love working with people who care deeply about their culture and their impact. I don’t just help develop leaders — I help build the kind of leadership and workplaces others want to follow.
Beyond work, my favourite way to spend my time is with loved ones — reading, travelling, volunteering, and continually learning. I lead with integrity, show up authentically and take pride in helping others grow.”
Amy is proud to serve as a National Advisory Board Member for the Institute for Learning & Performance Asia Pacific (ILP) — a leading industry body representing more than 4,300 professionals who are passionate about enhancing performance, capability, and behavioural change across the region. With over 16 years of influence in the L&D sector, ILP continues to be a trusted voice, and Amy plays an active role in supporting its strategic direction.
In this role, she contributes to shaping the future of learning and development, ensuring ILP remains relevant, forward-thinking, and valuable to its members and the wider L&D community.
Amy also volunteers as a Mentor with Success Works Partners, an organisation dedicated to supporting women with a criminal record into employment. Through one-on-one mentoring and tailored support, Amy helps empower women to rebuild their confidence, skills, and opportunities. It’s a cause close to her heart, and she considers it a true privilege to be part of their journey.
