This is from a book we've published entitled Schools of FISH! that is a compilation of stories gathered over the years about "Hero Teachers" and their effect on students. I have a personal connection to this particular story as I had the opportunity to work with Robert's Grandpa shortly after joining ChartHouse Learning. Please enjoy this story that has touched me and inspires me regularly:

No one at Buchanan knew how to choose his attitude better than Robert did. Now a fifth grader… Continue

No, it is not ME saying it (again), it was the overwhelming message of the Restaurant Leadership Conference last week in Arizona.

Joni Doolin from People Report made a presentation that showed how locations that are paying attention to their people are growing amidst a larger set that are not (or shrinking).

Tom Feltenstein touched on it, Alan Duestchman (author of Change or Die) touched on it as did several others including Doug Lipp formerly of… Continue

I want to make you aware of an opportunity to become a better and more effective leader through the power of your relationships. We have an event coming to Chicago this summer called the LeaderFISH! Summit. It is a challenging, day-long learning that falls in line with a lot of the comments and desires for leadership I see here on FOHBOH.

The details are listed and are also available on our website www.fishphilosophy.com.

Don't want to come off to "salesy" but its available if… Continue

Hey everyone!

I have seen a few of these floating around (Kristen and Matt...thank you) and I thought it would be great to have a central place to tell them so we can come here anytime to be inspried.

Doing what I do, I have compiled a host of stories of how ordinary people just being aware of the needs of others and having the courage to act on it has created great results.

I would love to have everyone share and, that said, I will start...

It was a dark and… Continue

Are we getting Dumber?

I was talking to a guy today about this and even though we have access to the world over the net and text and cell phones yada yada yada. Neither of us could remember more than five phone numbers! Is our reliance on technology dangerous? Or hindering?

Of course, I am sending this out to a group of people that I wouldn't have known 10 years ago but still...Whadda ya… Continue

At 6:50am on April 29, 2008, Melissa Papaleo said…: Jay- I am sorry for the delay in responding to you- there was a glitch in my FOHBOH account. That is so cool that we got to put the names with our faces at RLC. I know Matt and I are excited about working more with you all- we love what you do for the industry! I hope you can make it to our conference in June!

At 4:10pm on April 10, 2008, Andy Swingley said…: Thanks for joining Jay! I look forward to meeting you in Chicago. Steve Weis spoke very highly of you when he saw you at the Leadership conference.

At 9:34am on April 10, 2008, Andy Swingley said…: Jay, check out the Corporate Leadership group. I think it might get you closer to some of the people you are looking to interact with - Bill, Steve, me. Your engagement topics could get some mileage as we are all driving that way in our focus. Check it out - would love to have you, your opinions, and insights.

At 7:56am on April 10, 2008, Bill Campion said…: Hey Jay: I'm fascinated by your background and I'm interested in learning more about what you do and how you do it. I have just ventured out on my own after 28 years in the business. I too am consulting and having a blast so far. My background is in marketing and human resources. I'm a huge fan of FISH - Actually had Steve Lundin speak at one of our conventions.
