Flying Fish/bizfutures ConsultingTeam
	#1 most fun place to work in the U.S. as identified by CNN

Imagine a workplace where everyone chooses to bring energy, passion and a positive attitude with them each day. An environment in which people are truly connected to their work, colleagues and customers. Is this impossible? Not at all. Pike Place Fish owner John Yokoyama realized that long-term business success requires an environment where employees are involved in creating and fulfilling an inspiring vision. Through bizFutures Consulting Company, Pike Place Fish employees have succeeded in creating a unique team environment and now travel the country as the Flying Fish/bizFutures Consulting Team, inspiring other organizations to do the same.

Flying Fish/bizFutures presentations illustrate that a vision is not a tool to get somewhere but rather a natural phenomenon that shapes the company and its future when each individual is committed to "being the whole thing." bizFutures Consulting Company specializes in cultural transformation and generative learning and operates from a powerful intention to show owners and managers how to produce creative organizations, i.e., organizations designed to release and fully utilize people's natural creativity.

The antics of the fish-flinging staff have become the highlight of Seattle’s Pike Place Market. They have been featured in the award winning training videos, Fish and Fish Sticks, which have become a national bestseller, Spike Lee’s Levi commercial, on NBC’s Fraser, MTV’s Real World, ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS’s Sunday Morning, and many others. In a CNN Special Report, CNN identified Pike Place Fish as the #1 most fun place to work in the United States.

Jim Bergquist is the head coach from Flying Fish/bizFutures Consulting Team. He and John Yokoyama present in tandem. For large groups, they bring fishmongers and include a fish toss.
