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 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.
