The Show Must Go On: How to keep your “showface” in the midst of crisis

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Everyone occasionally has a bad day…even in the circus.

But the old adage “the show must go on” is sacrosanct. In her time at the circus, Judy Weigle was witness to many, many bad days. From illness, to equipment failure to sudden resignations - working at a circus is a lot like any other business.

But audiences were never aware of what was going on behind the curtain and the team working on the production was always committed to maintaining the magic for every customer.

Keeping your “showface” when everything seems to be falling apart around you is difficult.

In this 45 to 60 minute breakout session Judith will have your audience laughing as she gives multiple examples of would-be disasters at the circus and how keeping a “showface” was critical to getting through a single performance and coming back stronger for the next one.
