Beth Smith has been empowering business owners, hiring managers and human resource directors for over a decade to interview and hire the right person the first time. She discovered the importance of the interviewing process when she made a poor hiring decision, which almost led to the demise of her first company. After launching an enormous research project so that she could learn how to conduct more effective interviews, she concluded that there is a science to interviewing. She also discovered that many managers are thrown into the nterview room, scrambling to figure out what to ask and what to listen for, instead of actually being taught how to conduct an effective interview. Beth’s mission has become to transform the world through the interview process in order to promote happy and productive work environments for both employers and employees. To do this, she created A-list Interviews. Through the research she did on the interview process and through the almost 20,000 candidates that she has interviewed, Beth developed the Response Analysis System™. Studies done on the Response Analysis System™ show that 91% of those who were interviewed and then hired based on the Response Analysis System™ are still employed by the company 12 months later. The power of this system is from the advanced ability to listen to job applicants and measure their fit into an organization both culturally and for skill level. Beth graduated from the University of Texas in 1995 with degrees in History and Social Work with a minor in English. She also studied Psychology, Philosophy, and Child Development. She has won several awards within her community and industry, such as, Women Who Make a Difference in Boulder, Business Owner of the Year, Certificates of Service for The Hill Alliance, and The Responsible Hospitality Group. She currently lives in Boulder with her family. In her free time, Beth hikes, lift weights and is a die-hard football fan. She also makes the best English teacakes on the planet!

Candace Yaeger is a human potential expert with extensive education and training in the fields of psychology and business. She has a Master’s degree in Psychology Clinical Counseling from LaSalle University. It was here that she not only cultivated her passion for human behavior but she discovered an interest in Industrial Organizational Psychology. In practice, Candace has worked with diverse populations using solution-focused, goals-oriented approaches. Candace discovered early in her counseling career that even though she was proficient in helping those who were struggling to improve, she had an exceptional talent for facilitating those who are doing well to excel. In 2011, Candace left the counseling world to take a leap of faith into the business world to pursue a dream which was, quite literally, envisioned during a walk on the beach. The result was the founding of Green Skyline, which ultimately became Green Skyline Solar, a utility-scale solar company. It was during this development in her own personal journey that she realized that her knowledge of psychology and human behavior was a true asset to her in her business. Candace went on to obtain an MBA from Drexel University where she focused in entrepreneurship and innovation management. Now, Candace combines her expertise in human behavior, her acute understanding of the relationship between thinking, behavior, and habits with professional performance, and her business acumen to help other professionals realize and achieve their fullest potential.

Music Teacher
I began my music teaching career at Fortune Consolidated School in rural Prince Edward Island and now teach K-6 music at Montague Consolidated School in Prince Edward Island. There I lead a grades 4-6 choir, 2 rock bands, a guitar club, and act as musical director for various productions at the school. My passion for integrating rock bands into the school setting led to the founding of the annual "Rock-a-palooza: PEI Schools of Rock Showcase" event in Prince Edward Island. As well, I have published articles in the Canadian Music Educator Journal on the topics of creativity as well as teaching rock bands in schools. My first book, "Rock Coach: A Practical Guide for Teaching Rock Bands in School," is now available on Amazon in Canada and the United States in both print and Kindle format. My blog and website, www.stevesmusicroom.com, is catered to the professional development of music educators in Canada and around the world. As well, I write a regular column on popular music education in the Canadian Music Educator Journal published quarterly by the Canadian Music Educators' Association. My workshops are designed to be as hands on as possible, getting teaching up and playing as much as possible and experiencing new ways to engage their students in the joy of music making. Teachers will learn to put the theory aside and just create original music with their students or rock out in a rock band with their young learners. As these are designed to get attendees up and playing, my workshops work best with between 30 and 40 people. However, larger audiences can be accommodated. Contact me for more information!
