Elevate with I.C.E.
Onward and upward! Now more than ever, people need to feel uplifted. We have been enduring a challenging time, and as the world opens up, opportunities abound for your people to reach a new elevation. And have more fun!
Sometimes the simple measures work best, to heal, move forward, and become the best you can be. As any good doctor will tell you, “Elevate and apply I.C.E.” (Innovation, Collaboration, and Execution). These three concepts are crucial for the success of any group, post-pandemic, or any time.
- Innovation – Stay on the cutting edge, find ways to do things better, and stay ahead of your competitors. Creativity, technology, thinking differently – it’s what this show is all about!
- Collaboration – Work well with those around you, whether it be your internal team, your suppliers, or your customers. There is no better resource than the strength of your people, and the ability to combine the abilities of diverse individuals. Jon & Owen don’t just talk about collaboration, they do it on stage.
- Execution – Planning for success is just the first step. Now you have to do it, and do it with excellence, focus, and persistence. The Passing Zone will show you how they execute and will encourage your group to stay on target and be their best.
Jon and Owen will take your people on a wild ride, full of laughter, crazy stunts, audience interaction, and mind-blowing skills. While they are doubled over with laughter, the audience will see themselves, one another, and their goals with a whole new perspective.
It’s time to Elevate: apply I.C.E!
Juggle-Nomics: What Comes Down, Must Go Up!
Your people are experiencing challenging times. No matter what the state of your company or organization, your people are worried. They are worried about their job, their spouse's job, their mortgage, their investments, and their future. Everywhere they turn, they are bombarded by messages of fear and uncertainty, and those messages are starting to take a toll, if not on their productivity, then certainly on their mood, outlook and happiness.
Even with serious matters to discuss at your upcoming event, a somber atmosphere is not the answer to your event's success. Your event should infuse your people with energy and enthusiasm. It should help them feel good, creative, and productive.
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." "What Comes Down, Must Go Up!" is a new presentation by The Passing Zone that will bring joy and happiness to your event, show what is possible when people stay focused, emphasize the importance of relationships and collaboration, and inspire excellence
Teamwork: The Power of Partnership
Many speakers talk about teamwork. Jon and Owen do it. Their success is proven, their talent unique, and nowhere else will you see such an exciting demonstration of the amazing things that can be accomplished when people work together.
The Passing Zone is a comedy duo who not only work 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.
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 Teamwork: 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.
