This is what it take to get more people to change?

What does it take to get people to change?: 


What you're about to see is real. And yes. There is a link for a video on YouTube further down. Real kids doing real things. Just thought you should know. 

So here's a question: what does it take to get people to change? I'm not talking about their socks and underwear, but change behavior? Especially when it's hard?


For example
Every year, close to 100,000 people die from hospital acquired infections. That means people got sick—at the hospital! And it turns out, one of the main culprits is hand hygiene. That means just getting people to wash their hands could save lives.

‘All Washed Up’ is a short film about the methods used when you have to present a change to a group of people of young kids that faces a big puzzle. After the puzzle they have to wash their hands before enjoying a cupcake.

Watch the film 'All Washed Up' right HERE or copy this link https://youtu.be/osUwukXSd0k

The method is to use no less than 4 to 6 techniques when presenting a change. If you only use 1 nobody follows it:

  • Include personal motivation: Presenting a very good reason for the change. What's in it for me and for us?
  • Change the environment: Put up signs, arrows, tools that will help, play nice music. Make it easy to join.
  • Include deliberate practice: Try it out again and again.
  • Include social influence: Engage everyone to be peer helpers. A pressure from the group is fine.

So, next time you have to change the behavior of a group of adults, use no less than 6 techniques to make sure everybody (minus 1) changes.

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  ...

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 ...
