STAGE ENTERTAINMENT

MINGLING ENTERTAINMENT

This service is popular at receptions to help attendees break the ice. Jesse entertains 2-8 attendees at a time, up close, with highly personalized entertainment for 5-15 minutes. Then he moves on to the next small group, then another small group, and so on. Apart from receptions, it’s also common to perform at one table at a time, before or after dinner.


TEAM BUILDING SESSION

The team building activities last for approximately 150 minutes. Your team will bond as they learn entertainment routines, perform for each other, and celebrate each other’s success, while reinforcing the importance of collaboration and your company’s core values.

Prizes are given out, inclusion is encouraged, relationships are deepened, and problem-solving skills are honed. Communication skills are sharpened, and your team will feel like they’re on America’s Got Talent!


ENTERTAINMENT WITH A MESSAGE

This program starts off with the stage entertainment show. Jesse mentions that part of the stage show was accomplished by influencing their thoughts with words. Jesse announces that everyone will learn phrases that make them more connected with other people.

Next, each attendee is paired with 1 other attendee. Each pair of attendees will enact the role of people planning a vacation. The attendees laugh out loud as they discover how these newly learned phrases influence conversations.

Attendees will end this experience with communication tools that make them more persuasive and connected with people.
