OPP runs a company called ICT Gurus EA Limited, which provides very reliable email and website solutions affordably. He has designed and hosts a website for me. In his role, he is extremely patient in explaining his solutions to non-techies.
Furthermore, Otieno is the author of a book titled Live Your Dream in 7Ds, and runs a Business Development Company by the same name. He has also authored other titles. OPP is a Rotarian and philanthropist who believes in supporting the less fortunate, mainly because he has risen to great heights from very humble beginnings due to destiny helpers and good luck.
I am privileged to have OPP in my life and collaborate with him in many projects, including the CSR arm of Live Your Dream, which is called Power Monday, which is a pro-bono online meeting discussing issues of Small business, entrepreneurship, personal development, and related matters.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with Peter both in a church setting and professionally, and in every context, he consistently stands out. At church, Peter is remarkably self-giving, always available to assist, and quick to step into leadership roles when needed. His approach to problem-solving is truly unique—he brings forward simple yet profound ideas that resolve even the most complex issues with ease. Professionally, Peter has been an invaluable asset to our team, particularly in managing and supporting our email systems. Before his involvement, we faced persistent challenges with our previous service provider. Since Peter came on board, those issues have been completely resolved. He is always responsive, solutions-oriented, and dependable—qualities that make him an exceptional professional and a pleasure to work with.

From Charles Gachoka
I have known OPP (Otieno Paul Peter) for close to some time now, initially encountering him through the weekly Power Monday forum under Live Your Dream. At first, it seemed like just another virtual gathering, but after attending three to four sessions, I began to notice something different. OPP's unwavering commitment, his ability to connect people, and his authentic charisma stood out. Since then, I haven’t missed a single session—now well over 60 and counting. Meeting OPP in person was something I deeply looked forward to. By then, he had already earned my trust and admiration through his wisdom, tireless dedication to leadership, and his natural ability to engage with people from all walks of life. Recently, I had the privilege of witnessing his installation as the President of the Rotary Club of Milimani, and my reaction was simple—yes, they found the right person. OPP is building a world of meaningful impact, and his influence continues to inspire and uplift many.

OPP is one of the best trainers I know (saying this as a trainer who has attended his classes), so trust me on this one. He leverages his extensive knowledge and experience to facilitate impactful training sessions. He is adept at delivering engaging and transformative workshops on personal development, leadership, and business strategy, making complex concepts accessible and actionable for diverse audiences. His ability to crack a joke one minute and drop life-changing advice the next is unmatched. His unique ability to listen intently, connect authentically, and gently encourage individuals toward their aspirations with just the right words sets him apart. His ability to positively influence people enables him to build powerful teams.
Before I forget, when it comes to timekeeping, I consider myself a good timekeeper, but in OPP, I found my match. To me, timekeeping is the highest order of discipline and respect for others.
OPP is a powerhouse and a true leader who inspires and uplifts everyone he interacts with!

This incredible friend, OPP.
I met Otieno Paul Peter at Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa during a Kenya Association of Fundraising Professionals (KAFP) workshop, where he facilitated a couple of sessions. As someone who takes time to observe and reflect on both people and what they teach, it only took one hour into his session for me to realize that this was someone I wanted to know and learn from beyond the Kenya KAFP workshop. OPP is one of the most selfless, dedicated, calm, polite, and humble professionals I’ve ever come across. He’s exceptionally good at what he does, and he does it with a wonderful sense of humour! He’s the kind of professional friend everyone needs in their lives. The lessons I’ve learned from OPP have been so enriching. He’s helped me see things from new perspectives, grow in confidence, embrace big dreams, and continually aim higher. I mean, this guy encouraged and supported me to publish my first book, Graced!
OPP, thank you for being such an incredible human being and friend. God bless you always!

Paul Peter is a self-starter, unhesitating, and filled with undoubtedly the best work ethic I have come across. I have worked with him in different forums. As my chairperson in one of the forums, he steered the ship from murky grounds, cleverly and resiliently, to safe grounds. He used both wisdom and strength to do so. He stood up for what he believed was right and ensured it was heard and felt. He is compassionate and fair, passionate, and steers teams into action. In his personal life, he has led and volunteered in his Rotary club, given his time, expertise, and resources, and ensured education, which he believes is the backbone of a forward-thinking society, is at the forefront of his giving back to society. His family, friends, and colleagues are very lucky to encounter his character and leadership.

Our initial encounter with Otieno Paul Peter (OPP Esq.) was quite unexpected! He logged into a meeting serendipitously, though with the best of intentions, at a time when we were actively involved in advocating for family-friendly legislation in Parliament and the Senate, in response to proposed bills we deemed detrimental to the family institution. Upon entering the meeting, he listened to a shairi I had composed for the purpose and afterwards politely offered suggestions for its improvement.
We continued our conversation, and given the low attendance at the meeting, he became a critical member of the team. Together, we co-founded an NGO, the Linda Vijana Initiative, dedicated to educating the youth and providing civic education to the community. As the Founding Board Chairman, his contributions and passion in establishing and guiding this initiative are truly unmatched. He demonstrated mastery of the registration process, executed it effectively, and established the online presence, which he continues to maintain, ensuring the website and emails function smoothly.
Since then, Otieno also assisted me in registering my own company, My Stern Mom Limited, and provided guidance in establishing its structures, including content creation, marketing strategy, and website development. He further helped shape my online branding by creating content and building my personal website.
Through his organization, Live Your Dream Enterprises Limited, he served as one of my excellent trainers for the ILO program Women in Digital Business (WIDB). As a certified WIDB Lead Trainer, he equipped me with the knowledge to leverage digital technology for business growth.
Otieno continues to provide professional support to both my businesses and the Linda Vijana Initiative. He is creative, solution-focused, and resilient. He has equally helped many other people whom I have been happy to refer to his services. In addition, he has become not only a great friend and confidant but also a mentor and motivator. He has proven to be highly dependable and someone whose word can always be trusted.

Paul Peter epitomises humility in humanity, the faithfulness of friendship, devotion to family, and—most importantly—deep reverence for God. In him, I see a submarine—quiet, steady, and unseen on the surface—yet constantly moving with life-transforming purpose beneath. His impact is lasting. PP instinctively puts others before himself, serving communities from places of sincere sacrifice. At a personal level, PP has given me honour and respect far beyond what I deserve. For over two decades, he has modelled unwavering friendship and authentic servant leadership. Through Live Your Dreams, he challenges us not just to exist but to thrive—to pursue purpose boldly and unapologetically. Power Monday is a wellspring of inspiration, waking the soul to possibility and anchoring the week in wisdom and direction. Within Rotary, PP continues to demonstrate that service above self is not just a motto—it is a way of life. I am grateful to know him, to walk this journey of life and leadership alongside him, and to witness firsthand the quiet power of a life lived for others.
