Conversation Sparks is Now Available to Mentor Collective Partners
With Conversation Sparks, we’re helping mentors and mentees overcome hesitation, spark meaningful dialogue, and build the confidence that leads to persistence, retention, and career success.
The Challenges We’re Addressing
Many participants say: “I don’t know what to say to a mentor or mentee.” Mentors often ask: “How do I keep the conversation going?”

Rising social anxiety means students and employees often avoid reaching out to people.

Mentees and mentors often turn to AI (like ChatGPT) before talking to real people.

Without simple ways to spark conversations, schools and employers face disengagement, dropouts, and turnover.

We need a scalable way to overcome hesitation and start real human conversations — that’s what Conversation Sparks delivers.
"We hear it again and again: 'I don't know what to say.' Sparks fixes that—amplifying human connection with the right nudge at the right time. The result is more meaningful conversations, durable skill growth, and measurable ROI for our partners - whether that’s higher student persistence, career readiness, or stronger employee retention and skill development."
- Erin Mayhood, Mentor Collective CEO
