Dr. Hazel Wagner
Founder and CEO: B9D, Inc., a marketing consulting firm.
Author of Power Brainstorming: Great Ideas at Lightning Speed
Contributing author to Speaking of Success and other books.

Hazel Wagner teaches companies and their employees how to make better use of their brainpower. She does it through keynotes, seminars, consulting and facilitation on the subjects of power brainstorming, learning how to learn better, tapping into thinking style diversity, and critical, creative, and innovative thinking skills. She applies these subjects to specific business functions and industries. She also volunteers to go to high schools, junior high schools, and colleges to teach her techniques to improve note taking, memory, and grades.

B9D, Inc: B9D stands for Beyond 9 Dots and refers to the puzzle from which the expression came: Thinking outside the Box.

She founded B9D in 1992 at first to provide marketing and sales consulting to the many new technology companies that were being formed. Many of them were started by brilliant engineers and inventors who either didn’t have the experience to build good marketing and sales teams for their new company or preferred to spend their time and effort on their technology and let B9D handle the marketing and sales.

Hazel has 4 web sites to inform and to answer questions you may have on any of these topics.

Key talking points:

1. Why do we need to learn how to think better? Doesn’t thinking come automatically?

2. Is brainstorming something that business people need to learn? I would have thought everyone does it already.

3. How does all this apply to marketing and sales?

4. You talk about creating a brainstorming culture. What does that mean and how does an organization do it?

5. What are some directions you can give our listeners now before they even read your book?
