Playdate L.A. 2013 Connecting with the Stars!

8/17/2013

Playdate L.A. was all about
fun and connecting! I was really excited about going to this event and Nancy Minicozzi and her dream team of leaders designed and delivered beyond what I imagined this event could be. Here are some phenomenal resources if you are interested in taking a look at what was shared.

Playdate L.A. was all about making new friends and expanding my personal learning network (PLN). I think that was probably the most valuable thing I came away with from attending Playdate LA. I met Elizabeth Goold, @ElizabethGoold, along with a few other people I won't soon forget. Ok, I will name drop just a couple like Nancy, Moss, Jen, Alice, David, Rebecca, Cheryl, Regina, Robert, Andrew, Jen...

Playdate L.A. was all about stepping up even when you don't feel like you're the expert. Thanks to Moss Pike for really starting us off! I appreciate the tweet with a photo by Ryan Bradford capturing the moment for me. Can you see the beads of sweat? I learned a lot about scripts primarily from Andrew Sillman, script author extraordinaire, Roni Habib, and Kern Kelly.

Thank you, Jeanne, for a wonderful blog post. I'm so glad you enjoyed Playdate L. A. Your enthusiasm was inspiring. I hope you will be there when we do Playdate 14!

P.S. I would love it if you would upload some of these photos to the Playdate Google Event page for sharing.
