“Hailed as the most successful corporate
motivators on the planet is a group that deals exclusively with
fish!”
-Gemma Hooley

That’s right – raw, icy, scaly fish! 12 hour days
– 365 days a year – rain or shine – and they
LOVE it!

PIKE PLACE FISH
Our
presentations feature the Fishmongers from World Famous Pike Place
Fish, John Yokoyama, owner of the fish market, and their longtime
coach from bizFutures Consulting, Jim Bergquist.
These
high energy, high impact presentations not only leave audiences
laughing out loud (with occasional shrieks of delight) but with
something far more profound and lasting. Participants can take
away powerful insights to generate success in their workplace.

annual Retail Summit Conference.
Our presentations typically include:
- an introduction to how Pike Place Fish really
became “World Famous”.
- an outrageously fun fish tossing exhibition
featuring members of the audience (expert coaching provided).
- an important educational component. (Since
we are dedicated to having our presentations enhance the power
and overall theme of your event, we build our presentation around
an educational topic designed to express your theme and empower
your audience.)
- a lively round of Questions & Answers with
the Fishmongers.
Our team is out to entertain participants and
make sure everyone is engaged and has a fun experience. At the
same time, we open up a conversation for what’s possible
at work… like what’s possible when you are inspired?
What’s possible when you love what you do? What’s
possible when you have a bigger purpose for your work and for
life in general?
We are keenly interested in what you and the people
in your organization intend to make happen.

I write to express my heartfelt gratitude for the marvelous job
you did at the recently completed 56th Annual Indiana University
Business Conference. Your presentation of the Pike Place Fish
Market vision to the more than 1,000 Conference attendees was
remarkably effective and provided all with a most enjoyable morning
experience. The uniqueness of the perspective you bring to the
workplace, coupled with the energy and passion you bring to your
work make you truly, truly unique.

our expectations! It was a great evening! Our group was under
lots of stress and pressure about this event and there is no doubt
that the whole summit was a huge success!! YAY!

Thank you for helping us to make the CFC Forum 2003 a special
event. The Flying Fish general session on “Empowerment,
Creativity and Making a Difference” offered great insight
to our members (as well as group participants).
Based on comments of numerous attendees, I believe that CFC’s
members who attended the Forum enjoyed it and derived significant
benefit from it. I heard nothing but good substantive information
as well as inspiration.
Your session was a significant part of the conference and added
greatly to its success. I recognize the hard work it takes to
prepare for a strong presentation. I thank you for your willingness
to devote this effort and to share your expertise with us.
Thanks for the important role you played.

In 2002, Jim Bergquist of bizFutures was the opening speaker
at Retailing Summit along with John Yokoyama of World Famous Pike
Place Fish. Their presentation completely energized our attendees.
The audience was on their feet, laughing with and cheering for
one another as they interacted with Jim, John and the fishmongers.
Retailing Summit attendees not only listened to Jim and John’s
inspiring message, they experienced it! Attendees came away with
provocative insights into business success. Jim and John got our
conference off to a great start and were instrumental in the overall
success of the event. The rare gem provided by these gentlemen
was that the attendees were able to see the plan in action –
they didn’t have to wait until they returned to their offices.
You could see ideas percolating on the spot. Our experience with
Jim Bergquist and John Yokoyama has served to raise the bar for
our program. I would highly recommend them to any company looking
to improve the business, energize the workforce and achieve greater
focus among its employees.
