Dr. Vincent Kituku - Click Here To Read Dr. Vincent's Articles - Dr. Vincent Muli Wa Kituku, a native of
Kenya and resident of Idaho established
Kituku & Associates in 1995 to provide new
approaches for dealing with workplace
challenges. He likens the unpredictability
of change/challenges to life with water
buffaloes that invaded African villages
without warning, devastating social
structures, uprooting the harmonious
livelihood of villagers and leave them
feeling insecure and stressed out.
During chaotic times, people think that
there is no solution for their
perceptively overwhelming situation. They
wonder, �Why do we have to change from
what we are doing?� Some think they are
not responsible for making change work.
Vincent says, �When a buffalo invades
your village, you can not waste time
blaming others, whining, or wishing it had
not happened.�
His high energy, content filled and
entertaining keynote and training programs
challenge and inspire audiences for
maximum impact mind shift. They learn how
to set themselves apart at work and in
life, re-discover talents and resources
they need for growth, thrive by repeatedly
providing exceptional services, be
involved with something bigger than a
career and move forward without leaving
life behind.
Dr. Kituku is one of the less than 7%
speakers to earn the coveted Certified
Speaking Professional (CSP) recognition,
presented by the National Speakers
Association. He has been the motivational
speaker for the successful Boise State
University Football Team since 1998.

Nicholas Fraser - Click Here To Read Nicholas's Articles - Nicholas Fraser FinstSM, DipM (CIM)
Experience Summary
Nicholas has 35 years varied business
experience from large corporates to
running his own business. He has been
involved in retailing, software, office
equipment, decorative products and even
Green Shield Stamps. In the UK, across
Europe and into South Africa.
Marketing - Office Equipment, Decorative
Products, Argos, Green Shield Stamps, Bar
Code Printing, Blood Pressure Monitors
Sales Over �40Mn of IBM based EPoS
software and hardware to many of the UK's
leading retailers such as HMV, Iceland
Frozen Foods and Great Mills DIY.
He was a General Manager at Pegasus
Software Plc and led an MBO to become MD
of that and subsequently other software
houses.
�I commenced my journey into mentoring
primarily because of my period as General
Manager at Pegasus Software (the leading
supplier of accounting software to SME's
in the UK) During that time I met many
MD's and rather than discussing software I
invariably ended up talking to them about
their business and the problems they
faced. I realised then there was a
desperate need for someone to provide an
independent ear, to support them on their
particular journey�
As mentioned Nicholas led a management
buyout of the Division he was running at
Pegasus and so then got direct experience
of what it was like to have the buck
stopping there! Selling out of that and
then being an MD of two more businesses he
realised that he was ideally placed to be
the Mentor that SME businesses need. For
that he uses all business experience but
also his life experience including running
a Swimming Club for the Disabled and being
Secretary of his son's Football Team.
�Taking my son to football at the age of
5 and helping to run the team for the last
8 years has taught me many things. About
individual motivation, team play,
commitment and focus. With the disabled I
learned that everyone can achieve despite
what the outward appearance may
suggest�
To improve his skills, Nicholas attended a
Diploma in Counselling course at the
University of Hertfordshire and is
professionally supervised to ensure he
meets his commitment to keep to an ethical
framework.
Nicholas not only Mentors individuals and
teams but also assists in exit strategy
planning and buying and selling
businesses; he has recently facilitated
two acquisitions on behalf of one client
and is actively looking for more on their
behalf.
Nicholas is a Non Exec Director of
Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce and also
a Governor of his daughter�s school
Bishop�s Hatfield Girls.
