World Famous Pike Place Fish Market …

Have you heard of Pike Place Fish Market? It is the world famous fish market in Seattle. Pike Place has become “World Famous Pike Place” because each member of the team has agreed to four values that changed their market …

1. Choose your attitude
2. Play more
3. Be fully present with people
4. Make somebodies day

Here is a statement from their website …

Early on our coach encouraged us to commit ourselves to becoming “world famous” and we have accomplished this – not by spending any money on advertising (we’ve never spent a dime), but by being truly great with people. We interact with people with a strong intention to make a difference for them. We want to give each person the experience of having been served and appreciated, whether they buy fish or not. We love them.

At the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market, we know that it’s possible for each of us as human beings to impact the way other people experience life. Through our work, we’re out to improve the quality of life for everyone. We are working inside the possibility of world peace and prosperity for all people. This is our commitment -that’s who we are – it’s what we do.

People matter. That’s their vision, their mission, and their marketing strategy.

What a very cool place to work.

About The Author

rick
I married way out of my league. And I am aware of that every day. Kelly loves me, even the worst of me … like the “1st thing in the morning me”; and the “I hate being stuck in traffic me”; and she even loves the “but I only want to lay on the couch and watch TV me”. She’s my daily demonstration of grace – unmerited favor! I have three great kids – Nathan, Carissa, & Jordyn. They are the best parts of me – wow, thanks for that God, cause there weren’t a lot of good parts to work with! I’m the associate pastor @ HOPE Church. That’s my “day job”. At night … I’m the lead pastor @ Sojourn. I have the good fortune to share my life with the broken, the scallywags, and the marginalized; which works especially well because I am one of them. I love and lead a rag tag community of people who consistently demonstrate Deuteronomy 4:29 … “You will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Sojourn is a community of Gen-Xers who have a desire to connect with those who have never gone to church – the “unchurched” and those who have given up on church – the “overchurched”.
