Biography
Kola Olutimehin (also popularly known as getKOLA) is a Dream-Driver and an internationally acclaimed inspirational speaker who travels around the world inspiring people and corporations to channel their energies and focus towards their endeavour. An accountancy graduate from the University of Lagos, Nigeria and a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in the UK, Kola has consulted and contributed significantly to productivity and business process re-engineering with blue chip companies and entrepreneurs in two continents.

The foreword to The Nigerian Dream was written by His Excellency, General Dr Yakubu Gowon, GCFR, the former Head of State of Nigeria from 1966 to 1975.
Kola is also the author of another inspirational book titled Dream and Achieve, which is independently published in some countries. Dream and Achieve guides one to induce a dream and work towards the achievement of the dream in one’s lifetime. The introduction to Dream and Achieve was written by the Napoleon Hill Foundation (author of Think and Grow Rich – an international classic published in the USA in 1937); whilst the foreword was written by Chief Olu Akinkugbe, CON, a prominent Nigerian industrialist and philanthropist.
In addition, Kola is a serial author in ‘The Making of an Icon’ series. He has co-authored the auto-biographies of eminent personalities, extracting principles that may be learnt from their lives, in what he has referred to as the Iconic Principles.

INSPIRATIONAL TALKS

THE ‘TALKS’
Kola’s talks can be summarised by W Clement Stone’s phrase; “whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve through a positive mental attitude.” The underlying impact of these talks is productivity and fruitfulness in the lives of those that attend the sessions.

• The ability to believe in one-self and one’s capabilities
• How to eradicate fear and taking daring action steps
• Boosting the capacity to make decisions
• Inspiring initiative and desire for personal and professional change
• The ability to set goals and work towards the accomplishment of these goals
