Written by Jay Larson, The Prophet of Possibilities, ChartHouse Learning The one constant in the world is that it is always changing! From the economy to road construction things seem to be shifting faster and faster as we move forward. Most of the change we see is thrust upon us and we must react to whatever that change is. But I want to talk to you today about making changes in your organization, before you have to, that will actually help you react more effectively to those shifts in busine… Continue

From Attendance to Test Scores to Teacher Satisfaction, FISH! Helps Transform Three North Carolina Schools

About six years ago, a friend gave Candace Call a gift, the book FISH!. She didn’t realize at the time that it was about to change the way she did her job, the way she performed as a leader and the way she lived her own life. She was Principal of Archdale Elementary at the time and decided to give FISH! For Schools a try. “It just took off like wildfire and was the most incredible thing,” Principal Candace Call said. “I made up my mind that I did not ever want to be principal at a school… Continue

Settng goals for 2010

It is approaching the time to get busy setting goals for 2010. There are a few key issues to take note of: 1. How have you packed for your journey? Look yourself in the mirror and ask the question; “Am I carrying too much baggage?” All too often we get excited about the prospect of achieving goals that have been in our heart and mind but we start the journey with a bag full of past doubts, failures and frustrations. Spend time to look closely at yourself and make sure there are no self-destru… Continue

Fish! the Musical featured on WCCO-TV

I am still humming the music from Fish! the Musical after watching the actors perform this morning on WCCO-TV. Check out the live interview with Producer Sam Graeber and the cast members: Amy McDonald as Penny, Nicky Schuenke as Alyssa and Sasha Andreev as Stu. This group has only been rehearsing together for a few days, but they were fantastic! The show is next Saturday, Oct. 10th in St. Paul. Here's the link to the interview and performance: http://www.wcco.com/video/?id=68041@wcco.dayport… Continue

She Wins by a Nose

Gabrielle is wearing a clown nose. One of those bright red spongy numbers. As a matter of fact, everyone within striking distance of Gabbie is similarly adorned. It’s a bobbing sea of smiling faces, every new passer-by feeling the soft “pop” on their nose as Gabbie plops another comic proboscis on another unsuspecting victim. It’s ridiculous and I’m quite certain that if I were there, in the thick of the clown-nose festooning festivities, I would find a half-dozen completely plausible reasons wh… Continue

Is there a such thing as a waste of time?

I just recently got into the whole FISH! philosphy, maybe about a week ago I was nominated to be the FISH! Captain which I was super excited about. I work at a golf course and everyone here has seen the FISH video. Of course me being bubbly and out-going by nature it was a piece of pie for me to get into. Before I became FISH captain everyone in my department and the surrounding departments joked around about it, simply using the phrase "we're just fishin" which I thought was so cute. They were… Continue

Suggestions for getting management to "walk-the-walk" of Fish

I work for a smaller 50+ employee company, and we have been successful in getting some management to accept the Fish Philosophy, although not everyone. However, we're struggling with the next step, getting any of them to actually apply the principles and act as examples. We would like them to help as agents so that we can adopt Fish into our culture. Any suggestions on getting them involved? Continue

ADA 2D

I love creativity!! I was driving yesterday, running errands and happened upon this license plate. At first glance, being a nurse, I thought maybe it was someone supporting the American Diabetes Association. But I couldn't work out the "2D" in my mind. Then it hit me...ATTITUDE!!! I had to chuckle and I sped up to wave at the driver. I am sure he wondered what was wrong with me. That simple visual reminder made me smile and think...who am I being while I do what I am doing...whatever it is I am… Continue

Welcoming New Employees - Deep Sea FISHing?

Currently, our new employee orientation doesn't include any FISH! training. We do welcome new employees with an email that includes their picture, but don't introduce them to the FISH! Philosphy. My question is - How deep do you go into the FISH! training for new employees? Do you provide the full-blown training or some modified version? Continue

Im new to the Fish idea

I am new but have heard of the fish philosophy before. The company I work for is holding its first fish meeting today. I am excited to see what everyone else got out of this book and what ideas they plan on bringing to the meeting. I hope this brings new life into not only the property I manage, but to myself, who in the past year or so has struggled to make my job fun and a place that I want to be each day. I love the work I do and the property I work at but at times I hate it and the attitudes… Continue

How to “Play” at work

Of the four practices of The FISH! Philosophy perhaps the most misunderstood is “Play.” Many organizations struggle because they assume that “Play” at work means goofing off, or they think that they need to throw fish around to play. “Play” isn’t about goofing off, it’s about taking risks.… Continue
