Who are you being while you're doing what you're doing?

Who Are You Being?:


One of the most profound statements in FISH! comes when one of the fishmongers, says, “It’s about who you’re being while you’re doing what you’re doing.”

“Doing” is necessary, but it’s the mechanical side of our lives. 

It’s easy to get wrapped up in our doings, especially all the tasks we have to complete. When that happens, we get stuck on autopilot and react without thinking. We feel rushed, impatient. Sometimes it feels like we are human doings rather than human beings.

When we say “being,” we mean making a conscious choice to take a stand for something. It requires thinking about and taking responsibility for how you react, how you treat others, how you treat yourself. “Being” is the most important commitment there is.

When we focus on being who we want to be, it influences everything we are doing. We are free to deal with difficult people and situations more calmly. We are able to notice when we are not being who we want to be.

The principles of FISH! may seem like actions you do but they’re really ways of being. When we are being lighthearted, no one has to tell us how to PLAY. Ways to PLAY just show up. When we are in a MAKE THEIR DAY state of being, we find opportunities everywhere to create special moments and perhaps make people smile.

These are all clever words. But how do you find out who you are? Well, this can be done. We call it 'Find Your IT'. Contact michael@LEADERSwarehouse.COM and order 'Find Your IT'.

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  ...
