We don’t give talks.
We ignite gratitude movements.

Your audience won’t just be inspired. They’ll give their first Hooray before they get home.
Hooray Live is a Hooray Experience for your audience — built to move a room from feeling something to doing something.

Overview

A room that acts before it reaches the parking lot.

Most events hand an audience a feeling and hope it survives the drive home. It rarely does. Inspiration fades on the way to the car.

Hooray Live is built for the opposite outcome. We don’t stand at a podium and describe gratitude — we practice it, out loud, in the room. People try their first Hooray on the person sitting next to them, and they feel what it does.

By the time your audience reaches the parking lot, they are not thinking about a message. They are already looking for the next person to thank. That’s the difference between a talk and a movement.

Hooray Live

A Hooray Experience for your audience.

Five ways to bring Hooray Live to your people. Every one ends the same way — with a room full of first Hoorays.

The Experience

How the room moves.

Not a lecture — an arc. Here’s what happens between the first minute and the parking lot.

1

The moment we stop walking by

We open on the people your audience walks past every day — and the gratitude they feel but never say.

2

Why we look away

The wiring that tells us to mind our own business, and the permission to override it.

3

The 30-Second Hooray, live

The formula, demonstrated in the room — then handed to them.

4

They try it — right there

The turn. Your audience gives a real Hooray to the person beside them, and the room changes.

5

What kids taught me

The story that started Hooray Squad, and the leadership lesson hiding inside it.

6

Their first Hooray, out in the world

A direct challenge and a card in hand: give your first Hooray before you get home.
