About
Overcoming Buffaloes |
The Concept:
The Overcoming Buffaloes concept of thriving in chaotic times is
based on life in African villages with unpredictable water
buffaloes. They (buffaloes) invaded villages without warning
uprooting the harmonious lives of unsuspecting villagers. Dr.
Kituku’s years of experience with buffaloes and his in-depth
experiences in corporate America exposed him to the parallels in
terms of change, decreased productivity, lack of leadership,
individual accountability, the ability to bounce back after
setbacks and staying motivated and focused. He has invested
thousands of hours and years working with organizations and
individuals at hands-on leadership, ownership, team mechanics
and motivation. The Overcoming Buffaloes analogy has practical,
universal, and timeless attributes because the personal ability
to thrive beyond prevailing circumstances is the currency needed
by people to fulfill their personal purpose and organizations to
grow and remain viable.

Raves for
the Overcoming Buffaloes Message: |
“Dear Vincent,… Our group was moved by your powerful and
encouraging message in a ‘more-than-you-will-ever-know’ sort of
timing! We always knew they (i.e., buffaloes) are amongst us!
Yet your pictorial analogies for…and dealing efficiently with
the water buffaloes of life have produced images I’m sure we
will remember for a long time! Your motivational style is very
unique, pointing each of us to look inwardly and in conjunction
with each other as a team. Many were so enthused, they are
considering your return to speak to other expanded teams within
HP...”
R. Scott
Johnson, Program Manager, BLD Printer Lab,
Hewlett-Packard |
|
“Dear Vincent, …Unlike most management courses/seminars I
participated in, you went a step further in designing our
program and built a course that taught skills rather than
imparting theory alone…I am confident to say that we are now
better prepared to survive the appearance of water buffaloes in
our workplace…”
Betsy D.
Sterk, Human Resource Manager, American Ecology. |
|
“Dear Vincent…As a trainer, I truly recognize the importance of
stories. I am in awe of your gift to succinctly and powerfully
put words to a story or experience…I would be the first in line
at the book signing. Thank you”
Shelli Elmer, Employee Training and Development
Manager,
Lumbermens Underwriting Alliance

“Dear Vincent,…Your presentations on leadership and team
building were exactly what we needed and right on the mark. Even
though you never played football, your understanding of how a
team must function as one to be successful is amazingly
accurate…What sets you apart is the unique way that you weave
your stories from Africa into material, forcing the audience to
visualize the points in a different way from any other speaker
they have ever heard.”
Dirk Koetter, Boise State
University Head Football Coach 1998-2000
