The Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce’s Professional Women’s Network will host a Real Colors workshop presented by Karla Belzer from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 29.

The event will take place at Woodlawn Arts Academy, 3807 Woodlawn Road in Sterling.

Join PWN for an engaging, hands-on workshop that uses the Real Colors four-color personality assessment to help you better understand your own temperament and improve communication with others, personally and professionally.

Learn what motivates you, and those around you, as participants explore the Gold, Green, Blue, and Orange personality types in a fun, interactive setting.
