5. P.L.A.Y. Notes
P.L.A.Y. Notes are a fun and creative approach to kick-off any meeting or event and set the tone for an
exciting event by getting all the attendees on the their feet, interacting with each other and having
fun!
While they are energized, they will connect and bond with 3 or 4 new people that they will
want to stay in touch with far beyond their initial meeting. Everyone will start off the event,
with not only a good belly laugh, but also ready to be engaged and fully participate
throughout the day.

strangers to the space and the concept of Play Storming. The benefit of challenging myself creatively with a group
of strangers was that I walked away feeling confident about collaborating with others and to trust myself more with
my choices, ideas, and abilities. The environment that Shawn and Terrill provide is safe, fun, and exciting coupled
with lessons that leave you feeling eager to incorporate these as best practices in every day life. It's an energizing
experience to be thrown into so many surprise situations and walk away feeling successful! The group that joined
