I am in Pretoria, South Africa on the beginning of my three-week tour across the country working with women entrepreneurs. In my first presentation on market positioning and elevator pitches, as I said a ‘thank you’ to the INCREDIBLE Femtrepreneurs, they gave me a big WooHoo! 12 success-driven high-tech women entrepreneurs waving their arms in the air in unison. It was awesome. Interestingly enough, there were around 60 other women in the audience who had never seen a WooHoo before. You could tell by the looks on their faces that they didn’t get it but were intrigued.
As the day progressed, the WooHoo’s started to spread. Women who had not been a part of the original WooHoo movement were now putting their hands in the air in celebrations big and small. By the end of the day, the CEO of The Innovation Hub, a male, incorporated a WooHoo into his closing address. Amazing as that seems, it didn’t stop there.
That evening we had dinner with the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry for South Africa, Elizabeth Thabethe, and by the end of the night, we had HER doing a WooHoo. Even unprovoked.
It has taken off and it is VIRAL. Are you in?
ADDENDUM: The fun did not stop there! In visiting Matthew Goniwe Memorial High School in Khayelitsha, a large township in Cape Town, we had the kids of the Youth Enterprise Society giving us THEIR WooHoo! Check out the video on YouTube.
Seems we’ve started something I pray will continue to spread for the good of all those who DON’T celebrate their lives…

South Africa is amazing. Lot more fun to be around now without the apartheid hanging over their head. Some of the yokels won’t admit it, but it’s been much better for both races.
Woot! Thanks for this post. We don’t really hear things like this in the news. If there is not body count, or scandal, it isn’t worth reporting, so it’s nice to be able to find it elsewhere. Woooooooo Hooooooooo…..

Thanks for your post, sorry, but I still don’t understand the meaning of WooHoo. I know this word when I playing a game called The Sims.
WooHoo! It’s funny how quickly quirky things like this go viral. I’d imagine that what a couple of the comments before me said is true- we’re all tired of the stressful doom and gloom. We’re all looking for things like this to grasp at for a bit of hope in the day to day.
Woo hoo! I love it. Do you remember Sabrina the Teenage Witch? She was always saying woo hoo. Maybe she got it from you? lol

interior design i agree with you i also tend to be conservative,
but i think its better if we can change at least now.
because we don’t want technology to come too big on us do we?

your article is interesting, but often that is hard to get. I wonder how long it takes to afford something like that. I personally tend to be conservative on these things, which means stick to the old methods.
nice article, thanks!

Going viral online is really an interesting phenomenon isnt it?
It is crazy how things can go viral so quickly. That is technology today I guess…

As a side note, someone told me the school was getting a large donation which will help them buy books and supplies..I think that is great.

This sounds crazy but I have been to the Matthew Goniwe Memorial High School in Khayelitsha. Our son had a pen pal at that school and then there was a program we took advantage of to have the two meet. It was a nice trip and it was very beneficial to Brian (our son) as well. Weird stumbling onto this post.
I appreciate it that you share something so useful with the readers of this blog.
Thanks!!
