  A generational shift refers to the gradual transformation of attitudes, behaviours and societal norms as one generation succeeds another, often leading to changes in culture, technology adoption and workplace dynamics.    Generational shifts are driven by various factors, including geopolitical events, technological innovations, digital transformation, economic trends and cultural changes.

  What is its Origin?     In the remember-able history of Babukusu, Khuswala kumusee/ Esimbo was first performed by Mwambu after the funeral of Samba Sambarani Ngunyi when Babukusu first lived in Situluku. Omukananachi Luka Namulala from the house of Omutukwiika Musamali, the son of Maina wa Nalukale, Wachilonga Omubichachi, Saenyi Omubulo and Wabule wa Machakhi, Omubuulo are notable performers. Up until recently, this task of public preaching/comforting was done by John Wanyonyi Manguliechi, a dedicated Omumeme clansman uncled at Ebubuya. Born in 1930 in Kamusinga village and circumcised under Bakinyikewi in 1946, Manguliechi would find the company of Simoni Masakha who trained him through the three vital stages of khuswala; performing while seated (5 years) , standing (3 years)  and finally while walking.

               With all the efforts those who are managed, put forth in an often last valiant attempt to salvage a once positive work environment, at the core of every unhealthy working environment is the toxic boss, manager or supervisor that breeds it. All roads go back to the manager. And if the manager isn’t willing to change, then it’s a safe bet that in the end, nothing will. That’s why to impact long lasting change, managers need to upgrade their style and approach to managing their people Throughout my years of coaching managers, business owners and executives, I’ve been able to identify seven types of managers. Using these seven types of managers as examples, identify the critical competencies necessary to become an effective coach. It all starts with the way we communicate. Which one best describes you or your boss? 1. The Problem-Solving Manager This boss is task-driven and focused on achieving goals. These problem solvers are co...

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL
My main agenda is adopting a Gramscian theoretical framework, the five parts of this volume focus on the various ways in which the political is discursively and materially realized in its dialogic co-constructions within the media, the economy, culture and identity, affect, and education. We focus at examining the power instantiations of sociolinguistic and semiotic practices in society from a variety of critical perspectives, this blog focus at how applied political linguists globally is responding to, and challenge, current discourses of issues such as militarism, nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism and the free market, and suggests future directions. No peace, no unity, no coexistence hence all becomes vanity...! It's why the world is oval.
