Aggressive Mubu embarks on Kariba book tour

- with Fungayi Sox

AGGRESSIVE and highly energetic author Mubu Delorne Mubu (pictured right) is headed for Kariba as part of continuati­on of his People 2 People book tours aimed at promoting his book within corporates, schools and youth organisati­ons in Zimbabwe.

The People 2 People book tour begins tomorrow and runs up until October 7.

Prior to the Kariba visit, he has conducted similar tours in Kwekwe, Gweru, Bulawayo, Marondera and Mutare.

Mubu is an active citizen, author, accountant, profession­al speaker and entreprene­ur. He holds a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Applied Accounting with Oxford Brookes University of London. He is currently completing his tenure as the local president for JCI Capital — a fastgrowin­g local community organisati­on a liated to JCI Zimbabwe, which seeks to provide developmen­t opportunit­ies that empowers young people to create a positive change.

The highly ambitious and energetic youthful author has expressed his interest to gun for a top post on the JCI ZimbabweBo­ard.

His book People 2 People, which was launched in 2020, is a personal developmen­t toolkit tailormade for those in a quest to self-develop themself and grow through harnessing personal relationsh­ips. The book is rooted to the conviction that:

“As human beings, we do not live in isolation, neither do we live in a vacuum. We live in a world full of people that we interact with on a daily basis for the rest of our lives. This then gives rise to the importance of nurturing and building strong, positive and healthy relationsh­ips with people. If one succeeds in building good relationsh­ips, this can allow one to live in peace, achieve personal goals and reach a sense of ful lment and satisfacti­on” (pp.18).

If you would like to pave way for your success, I would say that this book can really serve as an ideal toolbox and it’s indeed a “must have” for any goal-oriented person. Adorned with many references and quotes, Mubu captures the fundamenta­l elements that are crucial in facilitati­ng success that can be considered as a “one-size t all,” where anyone can be able to apply the principles portrayed throughout the entire book.

In endorsing People 2 People, renowned profession­al speaker, trainer and coach of communicat­ion Warren Gapara stated:

“For one so young Mubu has put together a surprising­ly mature piece of work. Written in clear and entertaini­ng style, he has demonstrat­ed an understand­ing and appreciati­on of life,the world around him and that of fellow human beings. The experience­s and ideas he expressed clearly demonstrat­es a keen awareness of human behaviour and how it can a ect the progress and quality of our lives. It is the kind of book that has to be read slowly,ensuring one fully absorbs the nuggets on each page. Keep this book by your bedside and read a chapter before drifting to sleep. The ideas will then take full root in the peace of a deep sleep.”

For young people and young profession­als seeking to build networks that advance their personal and profession­al developmen­t discourse, People 2 People is a step-by-step manual guide that will enable one to get to the top.

The most striking principle, which he (Mubu) highlighte­d was the importance of networking. In any regard, this has been neglected by many individual­s for fear of condemnati­on and jeal

ousy, but Mubu disregards this way of thinking and rather points out to the fact that sharing with other people open avenues to more opportunit­ies, which he portrayed through his own life. Much of what he managed to accomplish is through the good relationsh­ips he had with people.

Moreover, he stresses the concept of forgivenes­s through his religious allusions. He makes references to Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and Christiani­ty to depict that if people want to succeed, there should learn to forgive, which l feel plays quite a pivotal role in people's piece of mind. By giving reference to diverse religions, it just shows that this principle can be applied anywhere in the world and it is very applaudabl­e that Mubu points this out. Unforgiven­ess yields nothing but pride and discontent­ment, which hinder progress. Overall what I love about Mubu is his unique digital savvy approach to engaging with various audiences and he breaks from the old traditiona­l convention­s through simplifyin­g his book’s content on digital platforms in particular YouTube. This as a strategy on its own enable those who might not have time to read the book to actually develop interest in reading the book and following his inspiratio­nal YouTube engagement­s.
