September 9: 'Innovate Like a Child, Deliver Like an Expert' Workshop

Innovate Like a Child, Deliver Like an Expert: How you and your company can become more creative and innovative by thinking like a 10-year-old

When you were a kid, the world was full of possibilities. You asked bold questions, took risks, and saw problems as puzzles to solve with creative ideas because you didn’t know (or care) what wasn’t possible. As adults, we often lose those creative tools. But what if tapping back into that 10-year-old mindset could help you and your company spark fresh ideas, adapt faster, and grow stronger?

Brian Weisfeld brings a unique perspective as a seasoned executive who helped build billion-dollar businesses and an award-winning children’s book author and youth entrepreneurship advocate. He’ll show you and your team how thinking like a 10-year old can drive innovation, build resilience, unlock new, creative ways to solve tough business challenges, and achieve your company’s goals.

The Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact (PARTI) is inviting Silicon Valley Chamber members to join the San Francisco 49ers Cheerleaders and special guest, to make an impact at the 2026 ExPosure Bullying Prevention Event on Friday October 17-18, 2025. 

The ExPosure event features a VIP reception, Business networking event and Fashion Show. Executives walk the runway to keep youth safe and stop bullies.
