I would love to hear the success stories and how this has been utilized within an organization. I have no stories to date and have not even purchased as of yet.

This is what I sent to 250 people weekly for awhile and now monthly. A quote from one of the books,
I also gave everyone a blank calendar and we had a box of Smiley faces with appropriate attitudes typed under them the size of the calendar square. Everyone chose their attitude for the day all month long.
Also cut out colored fish shapes and put quotes from the books on labels and them on the fish shape. I give one to everyone I can everyday. They post them in their cubes. I take them to meetings and we all read the message out loud before the meeting starts. They then take the fish shape and post it in their cube.

This is Sandy K. I am doing New Hire Orientation today with a new "PLAY"
I have a beach ball blown up. I typed questions on labels and stuck them around the beach ball.
We will pass (hit) the ball around the room and when "PETE THE PERCH" says "You got Caught". the person with the ball will read a question and respond. Then pass the ball again.
Questions: Who is your Hero? What do you think is the perfect age? Why? Who is the most famous person you have met? Show us your "most winning" smile. When do you know you are living the "vision" of you life? If you could pick anyone famous to talk to - Who would it be and why?

Hey everyone! I'm a charge nurse on a Family Maternity Unit in Springfield,Il. Recently at a council meeting at work, I had a co-worker complain about the Fish Philosophy stating that "it's childish.....we're all adults.' I have to admit, she's the very person I would love to either embrace this philosophy or leave! We started the philosophy a year ago and it has somewhat fizzled. Most of us really love it. Any suggestions from anyone on how to keep the warm and fishy feelings going?

I'm a Supervisor for Tesoro in San Antonio, TX and I will be introducing the FISH! philosophy to my team in a couple of weeks. I would like to be able to do some activities throughout the year to keep them motivated. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks!

G''day to all the other Fish! in the sea.

I'm David (obvious) & I love Fish! (also obvious).

Not so obvious, Fish! and I met in 2000 and since then the relationship has grown bigger, wider & brighter. It was, and still in is to me, the most succinct, easy & creative angle on a concept I'd seen. Strip away all the colour and fun (if you dare), and right at the bones, those 4 principles are still gold.

I've personally presented Fish! (in various ways, depending who it is and the context) to hoardes of people, from senior corporate managers & long-time SME owners right through to the working people on the deck and they all (well, pretty much all) have nothing but good to say about how it really impacted them. Even the stiffest, most buttoned-down execs can't help but smile, if Fish! achieves only that then it's a good start.

In more specific contexts, and with set goals, where the Fish! really stuck, I've achieved excellent engagement results, followed up with fantastic customer engagement increases.

I'm here for the same reason everyone else is here, to get in deep with other Fish! Philosophers.

I'd also like to invite you to connect with me on Linkedin (linkedin.com/in/luvyawork) where I have a full profile and have created a Fish! Philosopher group to promote Fish! to that audience. I'm expecting the discussion here will be more the type between advocates & practitioners, and Linkedin will just extend on that.

So jump in and catch me.

Oh, Loretta. I know it was a while ago, but if I was to guess I'd say the Zoo Keeper is either a HR Manager, or PA to the board. Just a guess...

Hey everyone! I am the activities director for a resort in Branson Mo. My new boss turned me on to the book " FISH". I am really excited and eager to learn and apply the FISH philosophy!

I am a beach bum, baseball fan, jazz lover, wannabe poet and veteran teacher and counselor. I appreciate the FishPhilosophy and understand its necessity and usefulness in today's working environment. My favorite quote from the Bible is "follow me and I will make you fishers of men".

I taught history for over three decades in Massachusetts, California and Rhode Island. I love to tell fish stories, especially the one about how I was asked not to fish in R.I. because I was single-handedly depleting the Atlantic Ocean.
