Calendar

The majority of the work at The OPA! Way® involves private mentoring sessions, workshops, and consulting projects with specific clients, in addition to client engagements for "public speaking" at meetings and conferences.  We do, however, from time to time offer workshops, retreats, and seminars that are open to the general public, as well as sponsor various special events that support our mission and values.

Upcoming Events:    

  • Both Alex Pattakos and Elaine Dundon will be speaking at TEDxHappyValley in Hong Kong, People's Republic of China, on April 13, 2013. The title of Alex's talk is "Everybody Say OPA! Greek Secrets for Discovering Meaning in Everyday LIfe," and the title of Elaine's talk is "It's Time to Reject Rejection." The theme of this exciting TEDx event is "Radical Resilience." More details to follow soon. OPA!
