  • The Passing Zone Impact Report June 2010

    "I have never worked with two more talented performers that so consistently deliver excellence and who so completely understand the corporate client. They learn each of my client’s intended message and goals; then they customize their act perfectly and deliver flawless and meaningful first rate entertainment every time." Joe Sireno


    Client: The Sireno Group
    Event: Senior leadership meeting for an international car rental company
    Location: Fairmont Hotel, Miami, Florida

    Objective: The Sireno Group’s customer has had a challenging year economically. They were addressing serious goals for changing their corporate climate and needed to end their leadership meeting on a high note. Joe Sireno brought The Passing Zone in to impart a feeling of optimism and energy. At the same time he asked Jon & Owen to take the message of the entire meeting and weave it into a memorable and meaningful presentation.

    Results: With their signature wit and humor, The Passing Zone immediately addressed the current economic situation which broke the ice. Their keynote, “The Passing Zone on I.C.E.”, (pun intended) addressed Innovation, Collaboration and Execution based on the information discussed on a telephone meeting held 2 weeks prior. The audience erupted with excitement at the end of the presentation followed by a buzz in the hallways afterward. At the airport, Jon and Owen were approached by numerous attendees, expressing their appreciation for the messages in the presentation.

    Bonus: Two of the top executives appeared in two separate pieces on stage. This gave them the opportunity to show their fun side and win the admiration of their leadership colleagues. 
     
    What can I say...Jon and Owen blew the roof off the place – AGAIN! These guys bring their 'A Game' to every engagement and they just never miss." Joe Sireno

    The Passing Zone:  Man in Ski Mask Steals Club

    This week in Vegas, a guy in a ski mask came on stage, stole a club, and ran. Jon & Owen tracked him via RFID technology, watched him on video screens run through the hotel and outside, where police picked him up.

    Oh forgot to mention...this was a gag...at this performance for Motorola, the dazzling duo helped them demo their RFID technology to the audience.  Lots of learning and fun was had as they balanced on their Moto-rola-bola!

  • Speakers Donate Time for Departing Airline Staff

    Steve Rizzo and Jon Wee and Owen Morse of The Passing Zone have joined together to impart optimism and empower staff at a soon-to-close American Airlines call center in Windsor, CT.

     

    The private event for the 500 employees of the American Airlines call center will be held September 8 at 7 p.m. at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville. All costs associated with the event have been sponsored.

    The event, themed Don’t Stop Believin’ brings together five industries that have been hit by the current economy in an act of mutual support. Rizzo learned of the pending closure from the workers at the Windsor call center; he decided he should help the departing workers find opportunity and optimism through this difficult time. He called upon his friends Wee and Morse of The Passing Zone to assist him and enlisted the aid of Diane Goodman, owner of Goodman Speakers Bureau.
    The event will convey the message that in times of economic distress, opportunities don’t disappear, but simply manifest in new and different ways.

    "These are trying times," says Steve, "It's time we all look at the big picture and ask ourselves what it is that we can do to help each other." The message: "Pay it forward.”
