  11. Be There Ideas • Smile more often • Look them in the eye • Say ‘Good Morning’ • Listen to what others have to say • Don’t interrupt • Ask how someone is, and really listen • Restate what you heard … for clarification • Give your undivided attention • Act glad to see people • Support someone’s idea • Notice another person’s mood and respond appropriately • Pay attention – no matter what is distracting you

Make Their Day Ideas • Every 100th customer gets something • Give an extra effort • Host a customer (or employee) appreciation event • Deliver an unexpected kindness • Hug someone • Laugh with someone • Take a wildflower to a client • Write a note • Managers wash cars for employees • Birthday or Work Anniversary celebration/acknowledgement • Random act of kindness … Pay it forward • Lunch together • Popsicles on a hot day

  15. FISH Principle 4 Choose your attitude

  16. Choose Your Attitude • Choosing to stay positive and engaged is a decision you can make • Not easy when there are other distractions • You control your attitude and how you want to respond

  17. Choose Your Attitude Ideas • Count your blessings, not your troubles • Be grateful for every day – every client – every opportunity • Write down things you like about your job • Celebrate your successes • Start fresh every day • Each morning – decide to be happy • Don’t gossip • Surround yourself with inspirational items: pictures, quotes • Enjoy the moment – Whale photos • Don’t sweat the small stuff • Stop complaining and blaming others • Distance yourself from negative people • Positive thought for the day or Daily devotional • Look for the good in everything • “This too shall pass”

  18. Play …is synonymous with work. It’s about having fun, enjoying yourself, being spontaneous and creative. Life is too short to spend it frowning… and FISH! brings a smile to your face! • Make Their Day …It’s about doing something special for your customers and co-workers. When you make someone’s day, you have given them a special gift they won’t soon forget. • Be There …It’s about being focused on the moment and on the person or task with which you are engaged. When we are fully present with others, we are actively listening and important opportunities won’t escape us. • Choose Your Attitude …It’s about accepting responsibility for all of our choices, even our attitude at work. A positive attitude is a decision we make.
