Today for the 30-Day Movie Coach4aday Challenge I watched a movie titled “Won’t You Be My NEIGHBOR”

I located this film on Netflix. It was 1 hour and 35 mins in duration and was released in 2018.

Summary and Leadership Lessons

The movie is a biography of the life, lessons, and legacy of children’s television host Fred Rogers.

The film really goes into depth about how Fred Rogers had a unique and genuine interest in the development of children. His decision after college to forego the ministry and go into the early days of television. Rogers’ first job in television came when he worked as an assistant and floor manager of the music programs for NBC in New York City. In 1953 he was hired to work in programming by WQED in Pittsburgh, a recently launched community TV station that was the first of its kind in the country.

Closing

At the end of the film. Rogers can be seen delivering a speech. He asked us to think about the extra special people in our lives. People that cared about us beyond measure. Sit still and just think of those people. He wanted all of us to be that type of neighbor for each other.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
