Milton Stewart is the founder of Kaizen Careers, Coaching and Consulting LLC, where he focuses on using the Enneagram to help individuals and organizations improve and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. He is a prominent figure in the field, being one of the very few African-American male Enneagram teachers globally. He views the Enneagram not just as a personal tool but as a means to honor the humanity of others.
Milton's work extends beyond coaching and consulting, as he hosts the "Do It For The Gram: An Enneagram Podcast," which offers practical insights into the Enneagram. Additionally, he holds the distinction of being the first African-American male International Enneagram Association Global Board Member.
Prior to dedicating himself to the Enneagram, Milton worked in education, where he assisted adult students in their pursuit of high school diplomas and served as an administrator in an elementary school, providing essential support for both students and staff.
With over 13 years of experience in studying the Enneagram, Milton has worked with various organizations, both large and small, leveraging his deep understanding of personalities and human growth levels. His consulting firm, Kaizen, actively collaborates with multiple companies, including a global Fortune 100 company.

Much of Ben's teaching draws on his training with the Animas Valley Institute and the Maine Primitive Skills School, both organizations committed to healing and developing the human psyche and soul in a nature-based setting.
