Dr. Vincent Muli Kituku, CSP works with organizations and individuals who want to increase their productivity, stay focused and have a sustained desire to make success a habit, but not an act. A master motivator and a catalyst for unlimited results, Dr. Kituku has been described as a research-based motivational speaker/trainer whose storytelling skills have won awards for both spoken and written words. He is one of the less than 7% speakers to earn the coveted Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) recognition, the highest designation presented by the National Speakers Association.
Wherever he speaks, people from all backgrounds agree that words cannot describe Vincent but that he must be experienced. His ability to captivate audiences with content, interaction and entertainment has made him not only a sought after speaker but an annual presenter for key organizations. No one is ever the same after listening and applying Dr. kituku’s strategies and wisdom into their work and life endeavors.
The impact of Dr. Kituku’s memorable speeches and workshops has propelled him into a league of his own. He has given presentations to Fortune 500 Companies, Workforce Development Agencies and Chambers of Commerce, Realtors, and National and International associations. He has been the motivational speaker for the successful Boise State University Football Team since 1998—the alumni of BSU selected him the 2003 Homecoming Grand Marshal.
A scientific researcher and experienced corporate America student, Dr. Kituku, a native of Kenya, Africa, draws on his rich cultural heritage and his in-depth experience in corporate America to help others apply the strategies of personal and professional success to their lives. Vincent offers individuals and organizations the necessary spears to overcome and thrive beyond their buffaloes. Since establishing Kituku & Associates in 1995, Dr. Kituku has done research on the challenges and expectations of every group he has worked with, whether the project was a 60-minutes keynote or a two-day leadership development camp. He then uses the data/information to develop and present a customized presentation audiences can relate to and apply in whatever they do to make success a continuous experience.
What, however, is unleveled is Vincent’s story of triumph over adversities. He refused to be held back or live a life that is defined by the deaths of five siblings, chronic malaria and stomach illnesses, being forced to spend six years in three grades or growing up in a dysfunctional family. With his signature positive altitude (blessed man), big dreams and hard work, Vincent knew he would be somebody someday. These losses and setbacks made Dr. Kituku believe that each individual has the potential to soar to new heights if only they knew how.
Dr. Kituku is a widely read influential writer in business, inspiration and education. Using his exuberant, concise and riveting style, Vincent has created CDs, books and articles of substance that are eminently readable, with authentic clarity and relevancy. He is an inspirational, family and professional expert whose columns appear internationally in numerous daily, weekly and monthly publications of both traditional and electronic venues. Dr. Kituku hosted “Buffaloes in Our Lives," a weekly radio program that was aired in the Northwest area on KBOI 670 AM. He is chief editor of the “Buffaloes in Our Lives" newsletter.
Dr. Kituku received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nairobi and both his Masters and Doctorate from the University of Wyoming. He has worked extensively with both government and private sectors.
