| Organization Description | B2B Power Exchange is a lead exchange group that focuses on helping entrepreneurs, CEOs, consultants and business development pros that sell to senior decision makers at companies with $10 million or more in annual revenues. Our members focus on large, complex business-to-business sales, so most lead groups and Chamber mixers don't provide them with the resources they need. We're different. Our forum of power players knows that the fastest way to the executive suite is through partnerships with others focused on B2B. That's why we leverage our combined skills and executive contacts to expand our pipelines and increase the value we offer our corporate clients.

| Description | Someone always seems willing to tell us why an idea won't work, offer a downbeat interpretation of events, or otherwise rain on our parade. To create something extraordinary, we must be willing to overlook negativity. Learned optimism is a strategy for creating incredible possibilities and breakthroughs. The way we interpret life events can be far more important to us than the actual facts. Perception is reality, and knowing how by itself has never been enough to fuel positive change. Come prepared to enjoy and be energized by Kimberly's talk and to explore what is possible for you. Kimberly Wiefling is a business leadership consultant who enables people to implement practical leadership and program management processes that deliver predictable, repeatable resultseven when the goals seem nearly impossible. During 10 years with HP and 5 years leading large and small technology organizations in Silicon Valley, she has developed the key insights needed to establish a successful business consultancy for the past four years. Kimberly is a certified project manager and workshop instructor with UC Santa Cruz Extension in the Project Management Certificate Program. She has facilitated workshops on leadership all over the world, including Japan, Holland and Armenia. Kimberly holds a degree in physics from Case Institute. | |
