Allan Bukusi, A Writing Profile

Allan Bukusi, A Writing Profile

 

Allan writes from the heart. He draws inspiration from his family, corporate experience and a goal to empower employees to honor God, create wealth and realize their full potential. As an entrepreneur, he runs several businesses, conducts training for corporate organizations, provides human resources and management consultancy services and gives motivational talks to employees, professionals and student audiences. He talks realistically about life and uses humor to inspire listeners to think about their (personal) circumstances and better themselves in life. His writing and talks have earned him credibility as an author and recognition as seminar speaker around the country.

Allan believes in correcting failure and is not afraid to improve his scripts. He believes that success is measured by how much other people benefit from you. In this regard, he may be considered a generous writer. While most people would bask in the praise of admirers, Allan is keen to listen to his critics. Getting published in Africa is no easy task and nearly no writer makes a living off writing. Most of the money in the writing industry goes to publishers, printers, distributors and bookshops. However, Allan urges all writers to share the wisdom they can afford, even if it means publishing their own work. One day, he believes, the sacrifices made by writers will be handsomely rewarded.

Not every one of Allan's audiences knows that he has written other books on leadership and personal development topics before and after How to Prosper in Employment. They are often surprised to learn that he has more than seven other titles to his name. This discovery makes readers and listeners wonder why he does not seem to have an active publicity strategy, though he has been writing for close to 20 years. At the moment, he says, he will reach out and touch as many lives as read his writing on leadership and life around the world.
