I love and still believe in the idea of Well of Change, but we’re sad to announce that we will be closing this chapter of the book. Although, we do promise to comeback and revive after we have recharged our engines (and our bank book$). I would like to thank our team who have been so dedicated to this endeavour. Over the past few years, there are so many *fantastic* members that have supported us and volunteered their time. Drum rooooooll….

Our next round, I would do a few things different. We’ll concentrate on aligning participant’s incentive with our own goals. We are a non profit and so many people were ready to support us. We just needed to give them better tools and content to make it easier for them to help us spread the word. Given our technical background, I’m excited for to really leverage “Lean Startup” concepts to discover product-market fit. If you are starting a new endeavour and business check out Eric Ries. I’m a Lean Start Up enthusiast.
The most gratifying part of the past two years have been the people. I’ve been able to meet and work with wickedly awesome people. They have opened up my eyes to fantastic organizations that do great work. I’ve met so many friends that will be with me for life. Professionally, I’ve been able to hone my public speaking skills and reach out to a new audience that I would never have previously engaged with. Business pitch competition, judging panel and even a gig as an ‘entrepreurial role model’ 🙂
Lastly, I’d like to thank my partner in crime, Kevin Tsoi. we’ve been through the ups and downs of a roller coaster together. Wouldn’t have been able to go through this wonderful experience without you.
Lately at various events and sessions, I have shared with many people about the visions of WoC and what inspirations the two of you have been.Something I’ve always believed in as a key ingredient to do something not well, but great, is to have passion. Christine, you are one of the most passionate and energetic people I’ve met and your entrepreneurial spirit is contagious!I want to say THANK YOU for the opportunity to work with WoC and I’m sure whatever you both decide to venture next, it will be exciting and with good cause. You can always count on my support and participation.See you guys around the city ^^Bonnie
