❖ Size of Group: Unlimited.

❖ Materials Required: A letter from the president of the company, prepared in advance. ❖ The Exercise in Action: Katherine Bird, training specialist for Fidelity Federal Bank, sends a letter from the company president to all participants prior to a course to inspire people a little before they ever enter the classroom. The letter consists of two paragraphs: one explains why the president feels the course is important to business success; the other explains why they’ve been invited to the program.
