The #1 thing people share as their “A-ha” moment after being introduced to The FISH! Philosophy is that we all have the ability to choose our own attitude! It is a conscious choice that we make every day, moment by moment.
Use these fun cards as a way to discuss the impact certain attitudes can have on situations, customers, and colleagues. See how this life skill can change your work and home life for the better. This might even be a fun activity to bring home to share with the family.
Let’s face it relationships are essential at work. We may not be best friends with everyone we work with but when we have a good relationship with our colleagues it really helps make work more enjoyable and we can achieve more together when we like and respect each other. When teams practice The Fish Philosophy we always start with the foundation principle of Be There. This is where individuals choose to set aside distractions and not pre-judge a situation or person without first having a conversation and actually listen while having these conversations.
When teams practice Be There it helps them to connect more with each other. People start to realise that we all have things in common and it is these commonalities that bring us together and help us to build trust and respect. Being there also allows people to start to understand that we all have our owns things going on in our lives so don’t be so quick or harsh to judge a person or a behaviour. There may very well be a good reason why your colleague or customer is upset, sad, or frustrated.
Like with all other skills in life, we need to practice Being There and these conversation cards are an excellent activity that you can incorporate into either face-to-face or online meetings. Pair up and select a conversation card with 2 options (A&B). The pair then reads their cards and completed the conversation as outlined on each corresponding card.
We find that this activity opens gives teams time to connect and learn more about each other while using the four practices of FISH! Teams that are more introverted will enjoy this activity since it is one that can be practiced in smaller groups. You can choose to have each pair share further details with the team or debrief some key highlights. Either way, you are creating meaningful conversations and building relationships.
There is nothing more rewarding than the feeling you get when you have truly made someone’s day. It gives a person purpose and a sense of achievement and can often be the difference between someone having a really negative and difficult day and having a day that is fun, enjoyable, and productive. We all know the importance of being kind and looking after others. But do we really know how to Make Someone’s Day?
When you introduce FISH! to your team it is not just about being polite and thanking people after they do a favour for you. When people adopt FISH! and take it to heart they are actually on the lookout for people that need their day made. Now we all know that everyone is different and therefore before you can truly make someone’s day you have to Be There. Start to pay attention to what members of your team love, what are they passionate about, Play this fun day, and become a Day Maker.
Use these Make A Day cards to play a fun day either online or in-person with your team and find creative ways to make each other’s days. You can use these in small team meetings to also identify what would make your customers’ days too.
Imagine a workplace where everyone chooses to bring energy, passion and a positive attitude with them each day. An environment in which people are truly connected to their work to their colleagues and to their customers. Impossible? Not at all.
