Although I am highly, highly analytical I try to keep things in common every day language because it allows me not to lose my audience or my own train of thought... I believe that Mr. Rogers demonstrates that very well - First and foremost I want to thank Mark A for this wonderful suggestion to watch this You Tube video. If you have not watched it, do it right away, it is simple, powerful & brilliant. This is my take on Fred Rogers - Passion and knowing his desired outcome is what won his request. Fred's passion to help children in this video was so pure and clean that it was impossible to have any realistic objections. Although, I believe, he was quite prepared (resolved may be a better choice of words) to continue to struggle with the minimal budget. I think that, that mindset kept his request void any anger or potential disappointment about how the government chooses to dole out grants. He was all about his love for the betterment of children. Fred also knew, based upon personal experience & evidence, that clearly, what he was doing was ALL positive & highly beneficial for children. It was so well internalized that when he was discussing his position with the Senator, it was not necessary to present a well orchestrated presentation - he was just there with his pure passion to make kids feel better about themselves. It was there like a beacon for all to experience. In my own life when I have a passion that is well embedded within me, I have similar results.

This is my take on Fred Rogers -

Passion and knowing his desired outcome is what won his request.

Fred’s passion to help children in this video was so pure and clean that it was impossible to have any realistic objections. Although, I believe, he was quite prepared (resolved may be a better choice of words) to continue to struggle with the minimal budget. I think that, that mindset kept his request void any anger or potential disappointment about how the government chooses to dole out grants. He was all about his love for the betterment of children.

Fred also knew, based upon personal experience & evidence, that clearly, what he was doing was ALL positive & highly beneficial for children. It was so well internalized that when he was discussing his position with the Senator, it was not necessary to present a well orchestrated presentation – he was just there with his pure passion to make kids feel better about themselves. It was there like a beacon for all to experience.

In my own life when I have a passion that is well embedded within me, I have similar results.

So the CPB calls in Mr. Rogers to testify before the Senate. Amazingly, as he starts talking you feel the same way I do: What alien from the NeverNeverLand Nursery just landed here? As you listen you realize, this guy is for real. Disarmingly real. He delivers an emotional 6-minute pitch. Watch the effect he has on John O. Pastore, notoriously gruff and impatient. You never see marketing messages quite like this one, but boy, did it work." This is a true lesson in rapport!! Can someone dissect what Mr. R did in his presentation? I picked up a few things. And mind you, this was before Bandler et al. This is just pure persuasion talent. Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a41lJIhW7fA I look forward to your comments!
