DJA Team: Welcome Cyrus Stewart

DeEtta Jones & Associates is excited to announce Cyrus Stewart has been appointed Learning and Development Manager. Cyrus will lead DJA’s world-class array of learning and professional development solutions, including our flagship Inclusive Manager’s Toolkit, new offerings like the Inclusive Facilitation Train-the-Trainer and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Certification program, and the highly anticipated CultureRoad, our community of practice platform.  

Cyrus brings rich experiences to this new role: 

• Higher education administration, including leading campus programs and initiatives, chairing conferences, designing and facilitating mentorship programs, and undergraduate course instruction. 
• Design and delivery of services for dozens of clients–from k-12 to corporate board rooms, as a core member of the DJA faculty.

When asked what he is most exciting about his new role with DJA, Cyrus shared, “Joining such a dynamic team of creators, innovators, and leaders conducting industry-leading development and training. My work with DJA has been evolving in this direction. The team and I have such strong chemistry, and I absolutely love our clients. To be able to – everyday – work with people who are so passionate about making the world a better place is truly where I’m meant to be.” 

“I am thrilled beyond words that Cyrus is joining the DJA team in a full-time leadership capacity,” says DeEtta Jones, Founder and CEO. “Cyrus–and our entire team–represent exactly what we have always believed: that the next generation of leaders will look and bring different voices to our organizations. His talent, ability to engage, and vision will be instrumental in helping us breathe new life into our work while maintaining our unique ability to bring credibility and connect with clients across a wide range of experiences, identities, and beliefs.”
