A kindergarten team with an A in FISH!

Paramount attitude in Stolpegård Kindergarten: 




Stolpegårds Kindergarten is a delightful experience of the very rare kind. Marie, Maria, Mette, Maj, Michelle and Tina are an exceptional team who gets the best grade in written and oral FISH!

It started as an ordinary workshop with a short welcome, a short exercise where the participants got to try talking to each other in a new way with some dialogue cards in their hands. Then I told about the fish shop Pike Place Fish in Seattle and the way the 12 fishmongers work together.

Then they saw the film called FISH! and afterwards each one found out which scene they liked the most. We did that because it's insanely interesting to find out what you like. The film must not be reviewed. The film's individual scenes or sequences should not be criticized. But the scene that the individual thinks is good must be highlighted. The scene you like is also what you like to give to colleagues and customers. And this is also what you like to receive from colleagues and customers. So: What lies behind the scene you like is = what you stand for. We call it the IT. So we quietly set about finding our ITs.

But first it makes sense to try the fishmongers' four practices. It usually happens amid hubbub and laughter and aha. Because it shouldn't be boring to try BE THERE, PLAY, MAKE THEIR DAY and CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE.

After this we returned to 'THE IT'. Marie, Maria, Mette, Maj, Michelle and Tina were really good at finding their IT. They wrote down their IT so they could start using them in the future.

Finally, I threw a fish to Maj, who is the boss of it all. The idea is that the external energy FISH! is now planted in Stolpegårds Kindergarten. And now the team has to start formulating their version of FISH! and then keep it alive.

Thank you for some wonderful hours and a good luck to you all in the future!

Find your own will and the will of your team

I can't find my will - where did I put it?: The headline puts the matter a bit on the edge. The will is not a gland or a special center in the brain. But the will is good to get in touch with if one day you sense that it is a bit difficult to get started with anything. There are people who, without warning, start playing the piano. They find a teacher. They practice. And then all of a sudden they play for us all. There are people who start to learn a new language, to ride a mountain bike, to collect ... I myself have been practicing to become a better badminton player. There are many things to practice. To pose correctly. To move systematically. Practicing the basics. Being able to vary. To be able to mask. To hit hard. To strike softly. To endure to win. To bear to lose. It's a long catalog. One stroke I have worked on refining is the serve. A good start is crucial to whether the ball gets into play at all. That's why I've been practicing the serve and it works really ...

Commit to your purpose with FISH!

12 fishmongers and their leader became the start of a global cultural revolution:  FISH! films, books, posters, soft toy and team exercises have been a source of inspiration in many, many companies worldwide. The iconic fish shop World Famous Pike Place Fish has been an inspiration ever since the first fish was thrown in 1965. The 12 fishmongers just sat down in the back room and talked about how they could become world famous. World fame does not come by itself. It must be created every single day. Therefore they continued to meet out in the back room and talk about business for half the meeting time and about their manner of doing what they did for the other half of the meeting time. Every second Thursday. All year. A relatively simple recipe. But even though it sounds simple, there are not many who have succeeded in doing what the fishmongers did. FISH! is an  invitation  to re-awaken the self-trusting, creative spirit within each of us. FISH!  inspires  ...
