Miriam Beloglovsky, M.A.

As a professor of early childhood education, sought-after public speaker, CEO of Playful Transformation, and author, Miriam Beloglovsky’s goal is to engage, inspire, and motivate audiences worldwide to explore the power of play and embrace play as a vehicle that transforms their life. Miriam is the author of the “Loose Parts” book series, which showcases her advocacy for play with unscripted materials.

Miriam’s keynote, Just Play: Rekindling Adult Creativity, delves into the dynamic tapestry of adulthood, where amidst our roles and responsibilities, the concept of 'play' often gets lost or dismissed as frivolous. Yet, "Just Play" is a testament to the profound importance of play in adult life, underscoring how it is beneficial and essential for fostering creativity, adaptiveness, and holistic well-being.

Play is not just an act; it's a state of being that can elevate every facet of life. By harnessing play's joy and unbound potential, adults can rediscover their childhood genius — the spark of transformation and creativity that can change the world. "Just Play" is more than a keynote; it's an invitation, a call to action for adults to reengage with their innate playful spirits, a quality we often attribute solely to childhood. This insightful workshop explores how play can catalyze transformational growth for both children and adults.
