During the last twenty years, he has worked with companies on five continents to redesign their business processes, leadership models, and organizational communication patterns.

Satir's models of human interaction give change leaders powerful tools for bringing out the best in people and the organizations they work in. In 2006 Stuart was elected to the board of directors of Avanta, The Virginia Satir Network.

Stuart travels extensively, and makes his home in North Carolina.
