So, I used to be a professional cruise ship dancer, and coming up on the screen is a photo of me when I was dancing on a cruise ship, and yes, they had us dancing with these cruise ships on our head. So, picture this, I am backstage, and I've been on this cruise ship for months and months in a confined space. It is about my third show of the night, I'm feeling exhausted and over it, and I'm on the high seats, so I don't know when I get out on my stage and do a pirouette or a high kick is going to land on my feet or my face, because when you're on a rocking ship, that's what happens. And to top it all off, my audience that awaits for me, well, let's just say they had one too many pina coladas. But the show must go on, and this is my job. I need to show up as my best self for this audience, whether I feel like it or not.
1:05 to 2:12
Now, my guess is nobody here is working on a rocking ship, but you probably have days that feel just as rocky, right? And your audience might not be intoxicated, but I imagine you might have some clients, some customers, some audience members some days that can be pretty demanding. And your backstage might look different to mine, but I'm sure there are some days where you're feeling exhausted and you really don't feel like showing up. But here's the thing, energy, it's infectious, and if we can find a way to shift our energy from exhausted to energized, we can shift everyone around us. And don't you feel like now, more than ever, we need each other's help to turn this collective fatigue and overwhelm that so many of us are feeling into a collective positive energy?
2:12 to 3:13
Yes? So I'm going to show you how to do that. And you might think, well, hold on, I've got this jam-packed workday, there is no way that I've got time for any of this stuff. Well, don't call me the excuse buster from Down Under for nothing, and I'm going to show you that all you need is just two minutes. And we're going to do this together, and I'm going to ask you if you're able to, to stand on up off your chair, and I'm going to demonstrate to you, and we're going to hit the music, how we can shift this energy from the afternoon feeling a bit tired out, oh my gosh, my brain is melting so much content, into this collective energy. So are you ready? Let's do it. Okay. We are going to begin by imagining that you're having a really hard day. So you're going to drop your shoulders, you might want to cross, I don't know what you do when you have a hard day, it's like, oh gosh, and look to the person next to you with a frown on your face going, oh, this is just awful, just having this really, really hard day. Feel that in your body. Now here's the thing.
3:13 to 4:16
The way that we hold our body makes a big difference to the way that we feel. So when we shift from this to this, so roll your shoulders back a few times, you're sending a signal to your brain that you are in an open, positive state of mind, and people around you perceive you to be this as well. Yeah? So now I'm going to get you to bring your shoulders up, hold them up there, feel all that tension in your shoulders, and then take it off and just have a little shake it on out there. And again, bring it up, breathe in, hold it all up there, and just shake it off. What are you holding onto there? Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. Breathe it in, and then shake it on off. And one more of those. Breathe it in, and breathe it out, shake it on off. Now when we hit the music, I have heard this rumor that we've got some amazing dancers in this room. So let's hit that music, and I have got one of our amazing volunteers walking around with one of my books, and they are going to give some books away to the most enthusiastic mover.
4:16 to 5:18
Yeah? We good to go? All right. Come on, let's do it. All right, and we've got the music. Give it up for them. Woo! Okay. I want you to imagine that you are starting up a lawnmower. Yeah? You're the lawnmower. I got you, baby. So we've got down at the lawnmower here. Imagine, what it is that you are starting up after being here for a day at the social media marketing world. Other side. Pull that lawnmower up. You are starting up that engine. Let's go. This part is the outside. What's that? It's the outside. I'll show you now. Here we go. Okay. In front of you is a pot. So the more you open it, the more you breathe. Breathe them up. You are wanting to breathe. You want to energize yourself. What's in there? Stir it up. We've got the mirrors and the cushions. We've got the ladder there. Up we go. Down we go. If you've done it before, what have you got in there? Turn it around. Right now. Here now. Put your hands on one side and then the other side.
5:18 to 6:18
We are going to send some high fives out and down the room. I want you to see somebody in the sky. That's it. High fives down there. Celebrate each other and all that you do. High fives there. Catch somebody in the sky. Beautiful. This is what we want. We want to be surrounded by cheerleaders. We've got fellow marketers. Are you ready to hold your pose? I think you're ready. Let's go.

Get them out there. Sprinkle it out. Beautiful. We've got another move. What have we got? We've got another move. The best thing about a beautiful homecoming is getting to have a little fun. Oh, hello now.
