FiSH! Training Video

You know how you can sometimes forget to invite your own best friend to your birthday party because you feel like you must have done that already?

That's the best way I can think of to explain why it's taken me so long to write about FiSH!

Anyway, I like it. It meant a lot to me at the time I watched it, and I really do feel like the world could stand to hear its message again and again.

Spending day after day knee deep in training videos, I of course am going to hear about the FiSH! video repeatedly, ad nauseum. (Yes, it really is easy to be cynical, even about this soi-dissant "Antidote to Cynicism.") When you get right down to it, if my workplace did not already feel like Play and if I did not feel like Being (t)Here, I would not be here for long. Working where I do makes it easy to Choose My Attitude because working here is so awesome. I realize I am one of the lucky ones in the world to be blessed as I am.

However, these guys aren't so lucky. They're surrounded by the smell of fish and hounded constantly by customers-- tourists, no less (shudder)-- and for pete's sake... they live in SEATTLE where it rains all the time!

Yet they're happy. They love their jobs.

So if you need a training video that breathes new life into the way your team does their daily duty and simultaneously makes them realize they don't actually have it that bad after all, Catch the FiSH Video.
