We met Pete in a gift shop in California (true story). He wasn’t much of a talker, but he made us smile. We offered him a job as the official stuffed mascot of The FISH! Philosophy. Pete loves to sit on desks and computers, and wears a stylish label with the FISH! practices to help you remember them. Pete comes in a 4-pack (joined by his brother and two sisters, each of whom is also named Pete; it’s a family name).

Our new FISH! award is the perfect way to acknowledge people for putting your company’s values into action. It’s ideal for employee and leadership recogition, for outstanding teamwork or service—whatever actions you want to applaud and encourage. Each award is hand-made with bright colors and the symbol of the FISH! Philosophy—Joy the fish—is prominently featured. Made of a tough acrylic, the award is built to last, just like the philosophy. The FISH! award comes in two sizes. The smaller award is a wonderful way to recognize individual coworkers and colleagues. The larger award is perfect as a "traveling" trophy within a department or organization. It's also ideal for special events, like biannual or year-end awards ceremonies, where an individual, team, or department is recognized for exemplifying FISH! consistently. The larger award has room for you to add an inscription to personalize the award for the recipient (not a service we provide).
