Someone To Tell It To

We’re still trying to process it all. It’s going to take some time. But what a joy it will be as we do. This past month we’ve been immersed in the play, I’m Proud of You, a beautiful true story about the life-changing, life-saving friendship between Texas journalist Tim Madigan (and our dear friend) and American children’s (and adults, too) TV icon Fred (Mister) Rogers, during the past eight years of Mister Rogers’ life.

What does trust really look like in life and in leadership—and how do we build it every day? We sat down with Randy Conley to dig into the heart of trust, leadership, and human connection.

During the last few weeks, we’ve led a short time of conversations and questions and answers after each of the performances of I’m Proud of You, at Open Stage, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the original play about the healing relationship between Fred (Mister) Rogers and journalist Tim Madigan. We had a few questions that came up several times in one form or another during those conversations. One of those questions, paraphrased, was essentially this: What do you say to someone who has been hurt emotionally and finds it hard to be open and vulnerable and to trust anyone again, for fear of continually getting hurt?

April is Autism Acceptance Month, also formerly known as Autism Awareness Month. There is a difference between awareness and acceptance. One of Someone To Tell It To’s core and fundamental values is that everyone is endowed with a story to tell that needs to be told. We believe in the dignity and sacred worth of every person. Every person. We teach that if we adhere to that belief in the dignity of every human being, we will listen with greater empathy and compassion, with deeper intent and graciousness, with a commitment to look beyond the surface and into another’s lived and felt experience. With the belief that each person has inherent worth, the transition from simple awareness to acceptance is essential. #someonetotellitto #autismacceptancemonth #inherentworth #listening #humanconnection

Transgender Day of Visibility is a reminder of the importance of visibility, but also of the need to amplify and listen to marginalized voices every day. Transgender individuals deserve to have spaces where their stories are heard. #someonetotellitto #listen #listening #tdov

In the midst of our ongoing focus on I'm Proud of You, we continue the important work of promoting and providing human connection through listening.

Today is Fred Rogers birthday! We remember his life and legacy with great affection and respect. That's why we are so excited to be co-producing I'm Proud of You, an original play about his life and legacy, as seen through the heart and eyes of journalist Tim Madigan, who was a dear friend of Mister Rogers in the last eight years of his life. The play's opening is this Saturday, March 22, at Open Stage, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It runs through April 12. Tickets are still available. But they are selling very fast. Here's a clip of an interview with Someone To Tell It To Co-Founder Michael Gingerich, who is portraying Mister Rogers in the play. He talks about what Fred's legacy means to him. Someone To Tell It To will have compassionate listeners at each of the play's performances, to be available to listen to anyone who wants to share how the play impacted them and how it may have inspired them to share their story with others who value the power of listening as much as Mister Rogers did during his life. We hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gaZkMT-d #someonetotellitto #listen #listening #improudofyou #humanconnection
