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!

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  new conversations about

Avoiding Burnout - 5 FISH! Philosophy Strategies

5 FISH! Philosophy Strategies for Avoiding Burnout:  For many people, they think that burnout is the same as stress, but that’s not entirely accurate. Stress is acute – we experience it in-the-moment due to a particular trigger. But burnout? Burnout is more long-term. It stems from accumulated stress over time, and often manifests almost like a depression: you may feel perpetually exhausted and anxious. You may feel like you can’t catch up on sleep, or that nothing brings you pleasure. You have trouble concentrating and connecting with people you love. Burnout takes time to set in, and also takes time to heal, and it’s often caused by long-term workplace stressors (although it can definitely be caused by non-work-related concerns such as marital problems or ongoing crises). What can you do if you’re feeling burned out at work? Here are five things you can do as a coworker or manager to help yourself and others find relief: 1. Take care of yourself (physically and emotionally) One of th

Sådan kommer medarbejderne til at holde af hinanden og holde af deres arbejde

  Sådan sikrer lederen, at  medarbejderne kan lide hinanden og kan de lide deres arbejde:  Når medarbejderne kan lide deres kolleger kan de også lide deres arbejde. Nogle mennesker hader at gå på arbejde. Det skyldes, at de ikke kan lide alle deres kolleger eller ikke kan lide chefen. Det kan lederen gøre noget ved. Men umiddelbart lyder det ikke nemt, at få mennesker til at holde af hinanden, have det sjovt sammen, nyde hinandens selskab. Men hvad nu hvis lederen kan skabe et fællesskab, hvor alle kan lide hinanden? Løsningen kommer her: Lederen kan bruge FISH! som er det enkleste og billigste redskab på markedet. FISH! består af film, bøger, plakater, hæfter, fisk, øvelser og planer for at skabe et fællesskab med gode relationer - og god hjælp til at komme i gang og holde det ved lige. Enhver leder kan gøre det selv - uden at blande eksterne konsulenter ind i opgaven. Først lidt forhistorie. Det var Pike Place Fish i Seattle som skabte deres fællesskab i den nu verdensberømte fis
