FISH!

The FISH! Philosophy © concepts are derived from the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle, Washington and are a product of ChartHouse Learning ©. The FISH! Philosophy focuses on creating an environment of shared ownership using open dialogue and discussion to improve relationships among co-workers.

In December of 2005, the LJB Center welcomed the FISH! Philosophy to our growing list of resources with the support of a grant from the Community Foundation of Central Illinois.

When an organization requests a workshop from the "Philosophers," the facilitators tailor the presentation to fit what the organization needs. We have very different audiences for these presentations and hand select the activities and initiatives we use with each group, based on the demographics of the audience and the overall goal of the workshop (professional development, team building, morale, work/life balance, etc).
