Hooray - that's what friends are for at work: FISH! creates friendship
















And this is exactly what the four FISH! practices will do to you and your team.

The four practices can help any individual and any team to become ‘friends’. Well, ‘friends at work’ at least. The four practices are BE THERE, PLAY, CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE and MAKE THEIR DAY. These fabulous four are not just smart headlines. They are interrelated and they are very practical.

They are interrelated in the sense that you have to use all four simultaneously. You can not leave out one of them or just go with one of them. 


They are practical in the sense that everyone can practise them daily - alone and in the team. FISH! delivers a series of methods and exercises easy to use - and fun too. The leader does not have to invent ways to keep on talking about FISH! - lots of material has been invented.


Why is it vitally important that your employees are friends or ‘friends’ at work? The answer is quite easy - and you know it already. People like what they are doing with people they like. The opposite is so full of problems and conflicts: People don't like what they are doing with people they dislike. Too many people go to work disliking their job and disliking their colleagues. They have an unhappy life and they do not thrive at work. 


People that like each other do it because they are BEING THERE for one another. They PLAY with ideas and solutions. They are able to CHOOSE A HELPFUL AND APPROPRIATE ATTITUDE when things are not going so well and when things are successful. And they are able to MAKE THEIR DAY - both for colleagues and customers and bosses.


Now that you know these four FISH! practices you think you are able to go out and present them - but not so fast. Take it easy and consider it all a bit more.  


What if you show the iconic film FISH! that explains the four practices in 18 minutes? This film can be streamed and purchased on a USB stick in many languages.


What if you read the books named FISH!, FISH! STICKS, FISH! TALES and FISH! FOR LIFE?


What if you study the FISH! guide that comes with the film?


What if you appoint a HEAD OF CULTURE AND MOTIVATION that will collect all plans, measure KPIs and register celebration dates, promote the four practices internally, be the ambassador for all teams and leaders in the ongoing activities keeping the company culture alive and kicking.


This is what FISH! is about: Creating friendship and strong relationships in house. And the result is that people love what they do, every day, all year round.

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

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

Design your life with your questions

Image
Your questions shape your life:  I once learned that 'The questions you ask determine the answers you get.' At that time, a whole lot occurred to me. Just think that the questioner has so many options to control the answerer and thus the answers. Ask stupid questions and you get stupid answers. Ask technical questions and you will get technical answers. Ask closed questions and you will get YES and NO answers. Ask negative questions and you will get negative answers. Example: 'How bad can our climate go?' Answer: 'Yes, it's going to go all the way.' Example: 'What's the worst that can happen?' Answer: 'That you meet 7 violent men on a dark night.' Example: 'So what, mollusk?' Answer: 'Hold the bucket you clammy cousin.' When setting up solution-oriented answers, the questions sound like this: 'How do you think we can get started with climate-friendly thinking?' 'What must each of us do to look after our country
