Oil & Acrylic Painting
Oils and acrylics are vibrant and beautiful mediums. We’ll cover the

Classes are relaxed and informal. Teaching is done on an individual
basis within the group setting, allowing students to work at their own
level and nurture their own style of expression. Students should
have some knowledge in color painting and sketching techniques.

The Paradox of Leadership NEW!
Join us for an interactive workshop on re-discovering you:
your strengths, your values, your passions, and your goals.
Together, we will define the key attributes of your personal brand
and —more importantly — how to use this brand for the impact
and change that you are looking to make in your personal and/
or professional worlds. Whether you are looking to re-enter the
workforce, make a career transition, find clarity in your life, or
simply discover more confidence, a personal brand will serve as
a compass and anchor to help you navigate from where you are
to where you want to be. Participants will experience not only
vulnerability, connection, and inspiration during the workshop,
but also some “tough love” coaching and the creation of a cus-
tomized toolkit on how to bring your brand to life. Please come
prepared to discuss a current goal and where you believe you
might be getting in your own way of achieving that goal.
Valia Glytsis is CEO and Founder of The Paradox of Leadership,
a boutique leadership education firm that believes in driving
transformational, bottom-line results through a fierce
commitment to the human side of business. The firm specializes

programming for progressive organizations.

Presenting with Impact NEW!
As a speaker, how can you consistently project poise and
conviction when the stakes are high? If you seem nervous or
uncomfortable, your credibility drops. That’s why presentation
skills are essential for successful professionals, whether they
present from the front of the room, the head of the table, on a
videoconference, or as part of team for a “town hall” meeting.
Calm, confident and credible presenters adapt to the environment
and form an immediate and lasting impression with their audience.
This program will help you successfully manage your presence,
information and audience so your credibility stays strong.
