Image via WikipediaFor the first time in almost two decades I’m enjoying a New Year in Europe. I hope you all enjoyed it too, or will do so later this year in China, when the Chinese New Year will come over us. The European slowdown during the holidays has slowed down my activities a bit – although behind the scenes many new initiatives are brewing.
The China Speakers Bureau is one of the major public activities you will notice here. We will continue the monthly newsletter, a new initiative we started in November. Shortly after Spring Festival we hope to publish a book with personal stories of a selection of our speakers on how a fast changing China has changed their life.
As a part of many New Year resolutions, a larger number of people have written to me to become also a speaker. That is still possible, although priority has getting in new assignments. We will write back to all the people who got in touch or applied, but it might take longer than expected.
In anyway, I hope you have a recession proof 2009!
