John Christensen
John Christensen's story begins in the shipping department
at Chart House Learning, where he began working as a teenager
for his father, Ray. He worked his way to the top the old-fashioned
way, proving to his father—and the company—that
he was a real filmmaker who could tell moving stories.
Today Christensen guides Chart House as “Playground
Director” (CEO in business-speak) with an inspiring
vision of an engaged workplace that can be developed through
the FISH! Philosophy. Chart House Learning is changing
the way business is done worldwide. “The Chart House
vision is an invitation to people to become fully immersed
in their lives, using these four seemingly simplistic ideas,” he
says. “In many ways the FISH! Philosophy is really
ancient wisdom for modern times, a lifestyle choice to
engage in life-long learning and self-improvement. The
products we offer are really learning tools, from some
of the best mentors one could have real-life experiences
that ultimately speak to the human spirit.” Today
John speaks to vastly different organizations about his
journey—the serendipitous discovery of the fish market—and
how that simple FISH! Philosophy he and his team poetically
articulated on film four years ago can dramatically change
the stories of companies and individuals.
