Won’t You Be My Trainer:
Practical Lessons Learned from America’s Favorite Neighbor
The name Mr. Rogers is synonymous with learning. Millions of people grew up watching the TV show “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood,” delighting in how its gentle host used stories, dialogue, interaction, and kindness to inspire children and adults alike to change the world. Mr. Rogers employed simple yet powerful techniques to create memorable lessons that have stayed with people for generations, and there are some remarkable parallels between his goals and those talent development professionals have when they design and develop training. After all, trainers would love for their words to be remembered, taught, and shared with learners long after the formal learning event is over.
