Beth Schneider
President / CEO
Using her natural ability to create systems and motivate people, Beth Schneider went from director-level manager to successful independent consultant in just a few years. Her claim to fame is that as an internal manager she held the positions of HR Manager, Project Manager, Director of Administration, Assistant Controller, and Training Manager—all at the same time. Now with 12 years under her belt, she is best known as a Management Consultant who can make things happen. She has worked with major corporations, Inc. 500 companies, small businesses and solopreneurs. The one thing they all have in common is the need for streamlined, effective and consistent processes and procedures. And that is what Beth provides.
Now Beth offers Process Prodigy, a company focused on teaching Entrepreneurs and Management Level employees the “art of working smart.” Where others have only said you must work smarter, Beth provides tangible tools and techniques that cause you to do just that.
Sandye Linnetz
Systems Goddess
Process Prodigy is proud to introduce its new Systems Goddess, Sandye Linnetz. Sandye, an entrepreneur since childhood, recently sold Balloon Affair, the event and party business she pioneered in the late 70's. Retirement was an option, but apparently not a serious one for this go-getter. She is now sharing the secrets that worked so well for her over the past 26 years +. She was in Time Magazine, Success Magazine and a guest on Oprah (maybe she'll show you the tape of the show).
Sandye, born in Chicago and raised mostly in Southern California, graduated from UCLA and attended CSULB for graduate school. Over the years she has co-authored a textbook in Early Childhood Development, designed and operated a preschool and taught every grade from kindergarten to 6th. At various times she worked in aerospace, MC'd events, represented a circus, wrote a monthly column for a trade magazine, operated retail and on-line stores, lectured around the world on business and balloon decorating and even did extensive on-air television time as a "celebrity" entrepreneur. Welcome to the team, Sandye!
