FISH!
Last Friday, I attended an interesting company training called FISH! Philosophy. It’s a training to help us facilitate an energized workplace. The objective of the training is to get all of us to see how we can have fun at work, eliminate the monotony, and turn our workplace into an enjoyable place to be. The are 4 basic principles to FISH!. They are:
1) Play
2) Make their day
3) Be there
4) Choose your attitude
The trainer suggested us to switch the 2nd and 3rd principles around. He said that the reason is you can’t really make a person’s day without having being there to listen to his/her needs and knowing the person.
I feel we could use a little of principles 2 and 3 in BLC also. As James mentioned yesterday, we should go up to someone and say “good job” or “nice playing” to make their day but more than that to encourage them. A great avenue which I’ve experienced of principle 3 is during the sharing time in between music rehearsals and in LGs because conversations can also get very superficial in BLC.
I’m rather amused to see how companies are investing time and money in these kind of trainings in order to get their staffs engaged. I guess when staff are really engaged, it’ll indirectly translate to profits for the company.

FISH was supposed to be kind of expected to be the next bestseller after WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? :-) whether it's cheese or fish ... if it's good let's eat it! Good stuff ... bro, may our fishy and cheesy efforts catalyze healther relationships for work, family, friends and church!
I have read about FISH philosophy being practised in your workplace.... but not in mine....I guess we all need to decide ourselves based on what the Lord has taught us... to be whom He has called us to be... to be there and to really be there.... I do appreciate the openness that we have developed at LG.... eager to have it grow...!
