• 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.
