Short Conversation How has the week of training gone so far? I've been concerned that the group is too big.

We do have a large group of trainees, but we've been able to stay on track and get a lot accomplished.

Everyone is commenting on the amount of excitement that your program has generated.

Yes, we're quite pleased with our success so far.

Well, I have to get going. I need to set up the meeting room for this afternoon's session. See you later.

Talk Welcome to our first annual mentors training program.

You have been selected by your coworkers for this program because they look up to you.

And that's an honor. So congratulations to all of you for being here.

Today we're going to start by generating a list of characteristics that make a successful mentor.

I'd like you all to take a few minutes to think back to a mentor you've known or worked with.
