BULAWAYO’S young motivational speaker and writer, Njabulo Moyo continues to rise on the academic ladder, with his latest offering, Motivating the Inner Soul being well received by some of Zimbabwe’s prominent scholars.
The scholars include the likes of Dr Samukele Hadebe, Dr Sithembile Mahlathini and Ferdinand Lawson.
Moyo said this was the first time for any of his books to receive so many accolades.

“I am so much humbled by the reviews I have received from various academics, whom I understand are endorsing my latest literature works. This is the first time I have received so many accolades for a single book,” he said.
The pint-sized Moyo believes there is still space for motivational speaking to rise as an industry, given the economic hardships that most people in the country are facing.
“I believe the economic hardships that people are going through; especially the youth shows that there is space for motivational speaking. The family institution itself, for example is broken and motivational speaking can be used as a stimulus to direct certain behavior,” said Moyo.Moyo said there was a need for young authors to publish books that tell the African experience.Moyo who recently broke into the international scene, courtesy of Lion Heart Publishers, said it was time for young authors to go global.“I believe it is time for young authors to publish books that will tell the African perspective and go global,” he said.
Moyo has managed to provide motivational speeches at different platforms in Sweden, Denmark and Lebanon.Moyo also became one of the youngest speakers to motivate leaders in the corporate world, after he gave a moving speech at a function organised by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).Moyo was in June last year appointed the African Young Writers Association (AYWA) director for Zimbabwe.
AYWA is a youth organisation based in the Ghanaian capital, Accra and seeks to create a platform for young African writers to share stories about the craft.
Part of the organisation’s activities include participation in book fairs, acting as a literary agent, spearheading rural outreach and literacy programmes, advocacy works, publishing, and yearly compilations of writings.
Moyo has also been involved in motivational talk at schools such as Mzilikazi High, St Gabriel’s and Metro College under the Junior Council banner and Rotary International

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
