THE FISH! PHILOSOPHY – COMMUNICATE, CONNECT, AND COLLABORATE
In today's professional landscape, employees value an emotionally supportive environment. They seek a sense of purpose in their work and value close relationships with their colleagues. They want to be recognized regularly and be heard. When people don’t feel valued, they stop believing they make a positive difference.
The FISH! Philosophy helps you build a culture that meets these needs and motivates people to contribute their unique talents. It empowers people to ‘Be There’ for each other. When people experience how good it feels to be appreciated - and appreciate others - they focus on what they can “give” rather than what they can “get.”
Modelled after the Pike Place Fish Market, FISH! is a business technique that John Christensen created in 1998 to improve organisational culture. He developed the four practices and wrote about it in his famous book titled ‘FISH!’ to help individuals improve team communication, attitudes and empathy at the workplace.
The philosophy strengthens trust, teamwork and engagement – the very foundation that your team needs to feel supported, valued, respected, and excel. It can help you create the change you’re looking for in your team.

ORIGIN OF THE FISH!
Filmmaker John Christensen was in Seattle when he discovered a business that pulsed with enthusiasm and commitment. It was the World-Famous Pike Place Fish Market, where large crowds come to watch the fishmongers work and buy lots of fish.
So he made a film about the fishmongers. It’s called FISH! and it explores four simple practices anyone can use to be successful. These practices, known as The FISH! Philosophy, are:
Be there: This is about being emotionally present for people and being in the moment – not always easy in such a busy world with so many distractions.
Play: Allowing people to tap into their natural creativity, enthusiasm and having fun. Play is the spirit that drives the curious mind.
Make their day: Finding simple ways to serve and delight people in meaningful and memorable ways.
Choosing your attitude: Taking responsibility for what life throws at you and recognising that you have a choice of how you are each day and that choice you make impacts others.
