The Passing Zone Speaking Topics
Juggle-nomics: What Comes Down…Must Go Up!
Your people are experiencing challenging times. And let’s face it - these difficult times are not going to last forever. Already, people are tired of hearing the bad news, and they are desperate to feel good again. Coincidentally, juggling and economics work on the exact same principle:
“What Comes Down Must Go Up!” Call it logic. Call it optimism. We call it “Juggle-nomics.”
Juggle-nomics: “What Comes Down Must Go Up!” is a new presentation by The Passing Zone that will:
• Display what is possible when people stay focused
• Emphasize the importance of relationships and collaboration
• Inspire excellence
• Bring joy and happiness to your event
Don’t let your people stay down. Get their spirits up. Get their productivity up.
Get them focused on success. Get them up where they belong – laughing, having a blast, and feeling great!
The Passing Zone on ICE: Innovation, Collaboration, Execution
Jon Wee and Owen Morse are one of the most
accomplished comedy duos in the nation. They’ve
done it by focusing on three success principles: Innovation, Collaboration, Execution.
Innovation-In order to be creative, unique and move the world forward, your success demands innovation. Jon & Owen juggle astronauts, (audience members) ride Segways while juggling inflated bags, and juggle chainsaws while dancing in tights and tutus. These guys innovate each and every day, and they will inspire your people to do the same.
Collaboration-Nobody accomplishes anything alone. In order to succeed, your people
need to understand the importance of working with others around them…to rely
on each other’s strengths. Jon and Owen don’t just talk about collaboration, they rely on
each other at every moment, on stage, for their success, and even their safety!
Execution-Great ideas and plans mean nothing without execution. Your people need
to carry out their vision and their plans, and they need to do it with excellence. The Passing Zone's precision, skill, and success will blow your people away!
Teamwork: The Power of Partnership
The Passing Zone is a comedy duo who not only works together... their safety is in
each other's hands. Every moment of this presentation is a clear example of
collaboration between two people who have prepared, who rely on each other’s
strengths, who communicate, trust, and have fun cooperating. Their entertaining and
inspiring performance uses big laughs, exciting stunts, and flawless teamwork,
creating an unforgettable experience for any industry.
Audience members discover:
- The importance of recovering from setbacks
- How working well together creates a cohesive, effective team
- The value of trust
- What it takes for teamwork excellence
- How to foster relationships with partners and customers
- How to laugh together
Throwing chainsaws, balancing on each others’ shoulders while juggling flaming
torches, demonstrating teamwork by getting people from the audience to participate
– are all part of The Power of Partnership. Imagine your CEO standing in the middle
of flying sickles and blazing torches! They even juggle three people from the
audience in their exciting piece – People-Juggling.
Don’t just tell your people how to be a team…show them.
Workshop/Breakout: The Juggling Experience
If your people could surprise themselves by
learning to juggle, do you think they might
have a new outlook on the challenges that lie ahead?
Yes, they would.
This workshop is usually presented immediately following The Passing Zone's
keynote performance. There are numerous ways that it works. Either the group will
move into an adjoining space, or chairs can be quickly stacked and moved against
the walls. Even if there are tables and chairs that cannot be moved, there is usually
an easy way for people to spread out and find room up front, in the back, in the
aisle, and between tables. A set of juggling balls will be handed to each attendee,
usually as the session begins. Jon and Owen present this experience by demonstrating and instructing from a small stage or riser. Once each
step is explained, the audience juggles while The Passing Zone circulates among the
group, offering one-on-one assistance, to be sure everyone is on track. Up-beat
music plays to help keep everyone energized. In order for everyone to have a real
chance at succeeding, 45-60 minutes should be allocated to The Juggling Experience
workshop.
