Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
This past Monday a few of the librarians who are the driving force behind the TL Virtual Cafe/#TLChat LIVE! stepped out of their comfort zones to bring you a simultaneous #TLChat Live! Twitter Chat and Google+ Hangout. Some of us had little or no experience using Google+ Hangouts much less trying to follow a twitter chat in conjunction with being "on air"!
Charity Harbeck, Linda Lindsay, Becca Oxley, Shannon Miller, Tiffany Whitehead & myself along with cameo appearances from Gwyneth Jones, Tamara Cox (and a few others whose names have slipped my mind-please remind me in the comments box) kept the discussion about advertising and display ideas rolling along.
If you missed the #TLChat LIVE! twitter chat session you can review the tweets here: http://tlchat.wikispaces.com/Jan_14_Archive
If you missed our sometimes awkward growth into the Google+ Hangout realm you can watch it here:
During the Google+ Hangout discussion I was scanning the #tlchat twitter feed for great ideas, which came fast an furious from our amazing participants. I started a collaborative Google Presentation in an attempt to grab some of the best tweets I saw. Please add your favorite ideas from our #TLChat LIVE! twitter chat last night (January 14, 2013) here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rd4FCroOEBsP3oUwh26_5MPaTuuEAf50tFYA2mufJGM/edit
