Kimberly Wiefling Wiefling

Kimberly Wiefling helps organizations achieve what SEEMS impossible, but is merely difficult. How? By turning managers into leaders and groups into teams.

DEEP EXPERIENCE with JAPANESE COMPANIES: Kimberly has been working in Japan nearly every month for the past 8 years. She writes a monthly column for ALC Press’s Japan-based “English Journal”, and her first book, Scrappy Project Management, was translated into Japanese by Nikkei Business Press.

A TECHNOLOGIST with HUMAN SKILLS: A physicist by education, she realized long ago the limits of technology devoid of human skills – the so-called “touchy feely” aspects of working in teams so vital to success, and so frequently overlooked.

BUSINESS RESULTS FOCUSED: Kimberly facilitates highly engaging organizational change and team effectiveness workshops based on her “Possibilities Toolbox”. Her intensive behavior-changing “learning laboratories”, which she playfully refers to as “workshocks”, directly translate into business results. Her latest book, “Inspired Business Cultures – Discover Your DNA, Engage Your People, and Design Your Future” will be published in the fall of 2014.

SPECIALIZING in CROSS-FUNTIONAL AND CROSS CULTURAL TEAMS: Kimberly has worked globally with people from every corporate function, and from over 50 different countries. Her clients include many well-known global brands in diverse industries.

MAKING a DIFFERENCE: Kimberly is passionate about making a meaningful difference by working with organizations, individuals and teams committed to solving the problems of Our World – profitably and thus sustainably.

I hated high school! I was too smart and not pretty enough to be popular with the fun crowd. My dad was an alcoholic in those days and I felt like my whole life was coming apart. But somehow my life turned out to be wonderful anyway! I hate to admit it, but the adversity I experienced in my youth made me the Scrappy person I am today. Well, just proves that you can't tell good luck from bad luck when it's happening.

Wishing you all the very best!
