Episode 102: Return to People

39 minutes

John Christensen is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and the CEO of ChartHouse Learning, the company behind the globally recognized FISH! Philosophy. In 1998, during a visit to Seattle’s Pike Place Fish Market, he was inspired by the fishmongers’ energetic and joyful approach to their work. This experience led him to create the FISH! video, which evolved into a worldwide movement promoting workplace engagement and positivity.

Under John’s leadership, ChartHouse Learning has developed a suite of FISH! Philosophy training programs utilized by organizations across various sectors, including business, healthcare, education, and government. The philosophy emphasizes four core principles: Be There, Play, Make Their Day, and Choose Your Attitude—aimed at fostering trust, creativity, and purpose in the workplace.
