Making the Impossible Merely Difficult with Kimberly Wiefling
from YES, BRAND with Hersh Rephun
Hersh sits down with Kimberly Wifeling, who has been described as a “force of nature” - an apt description, Hersh points out. She is determined to use that force to make a significant positive impact on our world. Kimberly Wiefling helps people achieve what seems impossible, but is "merely difficult." She’s the author of the globally popular book Scrappy Project Management - The 12 Predictable & Avoidable Pitfalls Every Project Faces; the founder of Wiefling Consulting, and cofounder of Silicon Valley Alliances. Her latest book, “Turning Ideas Into Impact”, is an anthology with 15 other Silicon Valley consultants. A physicist by education, she worked at HP for 10 years in 7 different engineering and project management roles, including leading an R&D team launching a new mass spectrometer, then 3 years in Silicon Valley startups leading product development teams in hardware, software, and complex systems involving both. She’s worked with 50+ globalizing Japanese companies, and with people from over 50 different countries, helping organizations solve global problems profitably. Kimberly lives and works in Silicon Valley, and has helped to start, run and grow many small businesses, including several that are still alive and profitable, and one of which grew to millions in revenue with only seed funding from her and the other founders. Kimberly’s superpower is turning managers into leaders and groups into true teams who can achieve “impossible” together.
