The Passing Zone
The Teamwork Go-To Guys
The Passing Zone (Jon Wee and Owen Morse) delivers a comedy entertainment and speaking performance using big laughs, exciting stunts, and flawless teamwork, creating an unforgettable experience for corporate groups in any industry.
 
Speakers
You’ve heard of keynote speakers, but keynote jugglers? The best speakers do more than just present an informative message.  They act as a springboard to launch your imagination, and open new doors to possibility.  Jon Wee and Owen Morse do that.  And they do it in ways you have to see to believe.
 
Juggling is the perfect metaphor to describe what people do in their workday, and how they balance life’s many demands.  Whether it’s an energizing keynote to kick off your meeting, a closing general session that sends everyone home laughing and motivated, or anything in between, these are your go-to guys.
 
Entertainers
Perhaps your group will get enough education during their meeting, and you want an exciting, energizing, and unique entertainment experience without a message.  It’s time for folks to let their hair down, relax and have fun.  Enter The Passing Zone.
 
Let’s face it – a corporate event is a distinct and deceptively challenging venue. Most performers and comedians can’t make the jump.  They fall flat because they don’t understand the nuance of corporate culture, convention objectives, or the specialized field of corporate entertainment.  You can’t afford to risk your reputation on entertainers who don’t comprehend your audience.  That’s why The Passing Zone is so popular on the corporate circuit.
 
 
Programs offered
 
Teamwork: The Power of Partnership
Many speakers talk about teamwork.  Few actually do it.  In their years together, Jon and Owen have learned about communication, trust, cooperation, and synergy.  They depend on each other for the success of their crazy stunts, whether they’re throwing chain saws back and forth, or getting people from the audience to participate on stage.  Imagine your CEO standing in the middle of flying sickles and blazing torches, or three of your attendees flying through the air in astronaut suits!

Your people will learn:

1. The importance of being a vital team member

2. How to foster relationships with customers and business partners

3. That working together is necessary, productive, and fun!

The Juggling Experience
Jon and Owen will teach your group to juggle. This hands-on session maximizes The Passing Zone’s impact by creating a 90- or 120-minute program (keynote and workshop combined).  Your people will get off their butts, laugh, learn a new skill, and realize that a step-by-step method can help them accomplish almost any goal.  Send your people home with a set of juggling balls (with your logo) and a new skill that will help them perform better.  The Juggling Experience will make your next event unforgettable.
 
Opportunities for participation:

The Passing Zone offers the perfect opportunity to showcase some of your key people on stage.  Their outrageous piece, People-Juggling (additional fee and rigging requirements) gets three people on stage, flying through the air in astronaut costumes, an unparalleled demonstration of teamwork, dedication, and creativity.  And when your CEO joins the show, standing between flying sickles and fire, they become an unforgettable part of the show.  There are other opportunities for involvement on stage, plus The Juggling Experience, which teaches your group how to juggle, gets each and every audience member doing something fun, beneficial, and interactive.  Don’t just sit there and listen to a speaker – get into The Zone, and get your people involved!
