Fellow Experiences With Watson

“I had concerns about whether this would just be another program, but I feel humbled, blessed, and honored that you guys are so authentic and pour into me. You bring great vulnerability and share many of the same struggles I face, both the ups and the downs. I've realized this has been more than just another fellowship or program. I love that I get to walk away as a different person, a better, more intentional person, excited about the work I do and knowing I'm in community with others doing the same.”
Charlotte2024 - 2025 BMO Fellow

“Our brand story and core narrative has become so crystal clear, thanks to this program — being able to bring that to life has been really validating”
KoraRetail Readiness Training Program Founder

“I love everyone in this fellowship, just being connected to you all gave me more confidence in myself. Seeing some of the things you're all doing made me realize, 'Oh, it can be done,' and it's happening. There are others excited about making an impact and going through similar challenges. It was really great and motivating to see that and experience it, as well as having opportunities to connect and collaborate.”
