Kimberly Wiefling is the founder of Wiefling Consulting, and co-founder of Silicon Valley Alliances. She helps individuals, teams and organizations overcome the most predictable and avoidable causes of failure, human beings, through her highly engaging, experiential, interactive "Learning Laboratories", enabling them to fix things that will damage and destroy their company, and survive in a world of disruptive change. She lives in Silicon Valley, and has worked all over the US, Europe and Asia. Her superpower is bringing people together across borders and boundaries of every kind to achieve what seems “impossible”, but is merely difficult. Her first book, Scrappy Project Management, was also published in Japanese. She has edited and co-authored 8 other books and dozens of blogs. Her latest is "Turning Ideas Into Impact – Insights from 16 SV Consultants". Her amazing mentor, Dr. Edgar Schein, wrote the foreword to her company culture workbook, “Inspired Organizational Cultures”. Kimberly strongly believes that companies doing business across borders and boundaries of every kind are a powerful force for peace in Our World. She is committed to supporting purpose-driven organizations in attracting high-quality investors and the best people through the competitive advantage of a healthy organizational culture. Her big dream is that, one day, both investments and workers will preferentially flow to these kinds of organizations instead of the soul-sucking variety, and the sick, twisted, dysfunctional organizations of Our World will wither and die for lack of financial resources and the talented people they've driven away to more life-affirming workplaces . . . for a better world. |
