We spend most of our adult lives—100,000 hours or more—at work. That time is precious. It’s a tragedy if we aren’t happy and energized. It’s a loss for our organizations too.
The FISH! Philosophy is a proven way to find joy and energy in our work. When a team lives these four simple practices, it builds trust, teamwork, appreciation and accountability—the foundation every team needs to excel.
Our FISH! consulting, coaching, facilitation, events and workshops help you strengthen relationships that improve your performance.
We also have FISH! programs and events for K-12 schools.

What is The FISH! Philosophy?
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.
“Every company could benefit from that kind of passion,” John thought. 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 the foundation of our training solutions.
