Since then, she has enjoyed a successful career in music, film, television, voice-over work and children’s recordings. In addition to raising two children in LA, she stays busy working on her growing eyewear line, her music for grown-ups as well as books and CD’s for kids and families. Her most recent release is “Lullaby Girl” which was released exclusively with Amazon.
Lisa Loeb is an independent music trail-blazer. Her career catapulted with the platinum-selling #1 hit song “Stay (I Missed You)” featured on the GenX film Reality Bites. In 1994, when other top artists were all tied to labels, Lisa was the first unsigned artist to have a #1 single. She followed that remarkable feat with the hit singles “Do You Sleep,” “I Do” and “Let’s Forget About It” and the albums Cake and Pie and No Fairy Tale. Her albums Tails and Firecracker were both certified gold. Lisa continues to craft irresistible pop songs for the 21st century, while writing children’s books and songs, designing Lisa Loeb Eyewear and supporting various non-profit causes including The Camp Lisa Foundation. Her GRAMMY and Parents’ Choice Gold Award winning album Feel What U Feel (available exclusively on Amazon) was co-produced with Rich Jacques and features guest artists Craig Robinson, Ed Helms and more. In fall 2017, Loeb collaborated with Jacques and Larry Golding to release a collection of soothing songs with Amazon Originals, Lullaby Girl. The album of “music for insomniacs” where Lisa “reinvents classic pop songs” (Billboard) like “Rainbow Connection,” “Ooh Child,” “What the World Needs Now Is Love” and “Be My Baby” and offers two new original songs, which are “sure to become classics in their own right” (Guitar Girl).
Lisa continues to tour internationally, sharing her music from yesterday, today and tomorrow. Forever the fearless performer, Loeb is constantly exploring her creativity and telling original stories, whether writing songs or acting in films, TV and animated series like Amazon Originals’ “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” and “Creative Galaxy.”

Featured Workshop: Empowering the Empowered Woman
Mindfulness Techniques for Women Who Do Too Much
Betsy Jaffe, Amplitute Strategies

Feeling overwhelmed? Does your email chime make your heart sink with the thought of one more obligation? Does your mind race through to-do lists each night as your head hits the pillow? Do you feel less patient, less joyful, and less available to those who rely on you?
You can’t fill from an empty cup. In this 30-minute workshop you’ll learn some hands-on techniques that will make you feel better equipped to handle whatever comes your way. By investing in as little as ten minutes a day, you can find yourself feeling more refreshed, more available, more productive, and most important – more content.
Featured Workshop: Reputation Management
EmPOWER! Your Personal Brand
Angela Speziale, Repuvue

Do you Google your name? Your reputation’s influence is becoming more powerful than ever before. Thanks to social channels and digital media, anyone can access troves of information about your buying habits, what you like on Facebook, where you go for vacation, what type of cuisine you like; it’s all being captured and analyzed by data aggregators, potential employers and marketers. This data affects everything from insurance premiums to potential employers. Having a “private” Instagram account is not enough to safeguard your reputation. This workshop will show you how to review your digital footprint and best practices to control, curate, and optimize your reputation.

Featured Workshop: Redefining Leadership With Your True North
Yao Huang, The Hatchery

What is leadership really? Where did you learn how to lead? Who says that’s the way? Why do you mirror the old guard? Who do you look up to? WHY to all of those things? Yao Huang, Founder and Managing Partner of The Hatchery, an organization instrumental in developing the New York technology ecosystem. Hatchery’s incubator works with corporations to collaboratively develop new innovations and companies for competitive advantage and revenue streams leveraging machine learning, artificial intelligence, prediction, natural language processing.

2016-06-21 | The Rubin Museum, 150 W. 17th Street, New York City, United States
Women in Consumer Technology Forum: “Design Your Life: A Road-map to Success Amid Change”
Tuesday, June 21, 2016
Check out the Survey Monkey Results Below!

CE Week returns to NYC June 20-24, 2016, and Women in Consumer Technology’s exclusive fifth annual Forum 2016, “Design Your Life: A Road-map to Success Amid Change”, is scheduled for Tuesday, June 21. This year’s Opening Keynote Speaker is The New York Times Bestseller author, journalist, and popular lecturer, Gail Sheehy. In her 50 years as a writer she is the embodiment of this year’s Forum theme. She has interviewed thousands of women and men and written 17 books. From her 1976 book Passages, named one of the ten most influential books of our times by a Library of Congress survey, to her five other books on the passages theme revisit and illuminate the stages of adult life: New Passages, Understanding Men’s Passages, The Silent Passage (menopause), Sex and the Seasoned Women, and Passages in Caregiving. And in 2014 she turned the lens on herself: she had to write a memoir about her own passages. The book is called DARING: My Passages. Sheehy hopes it inspires young women to dream big, take risks, outlive the early failures, and build toward success with meaning and social purpose by midlife. Forum attendees will receive a copy of DARING and enjoy the opportunity for Ms. Sheehy to personally sign their copy.

Featured Workshop – Sam Horn
Sam Horn Returns with SerenDestiny® – Is the light on in your eyes? As the creator of SerenDestiny®, she’s interviewed hundreds of people about what it takes to create a life where the light is on in your eyes and has delivered her findings on this subject at TEDxNASA, as well as has been speaking and blogging about it since 2010. SerenDestiny® is not something passive that is out of our control. We don’t have to sit around, wait, and hope it will happen. We can increase the likelihood of it happening. Like the state of flow, we can’t force fortuitous encounters to show up, but we can facilitate them showing up. And that’s what Sam will share, stories of people who have set their SerenDestiny® in motion by aligning with congruent individuals, activities and opportunities.

Forum 2013, Empower Your Entrepreneurial Spirit—A Career Enhancement Forum
2013-06-25 | Unnamed Venue, Rubin Museum of Art 150 West 17th Street New York City, New York City, NY, United States
Women in Consumer Electronics (CE), an organization focused on empowering women, building networks, and supporting career opportunities in the consumer electronics industry has yet again provided a full house of participants with valuable industry perspectives and solid career advice. Featuring inspiring talks by Kay Koplovitz, chairman and co-founder of Springboard Enterprises, Ideapreneur Sam Horn, and bestselling-author and TV co-host Mika Brzezinski, the second annual Women in CE Career Enhancement Forum entitled “Empower Your Entrepreneurial Spirit” provided attendees with uplifting sessions geared at augmenting professional empowerment, promoting business success, and sharing best practices from the CE community. In a survey conducted the week after the event, more than 50% of the sold-out event is new attendees to the Forum. 100% of respondents said they will attend the 2014 Forum.
“There were so many great ideas and information that came out of this dynamic one-day event,” said Maureen Jenson, editor-in-chief, Technology Integrator. “As participants, we left inspired, invigorated, and more empowered to think big about how our roles affect the industry. Revisiting our respective professional and personal goals, we have enormous momentum going forward thanks to a truly uplifting event.”
Kay Koplovitz, the forum’s opening speaker, launched the conference with a powerhouse keynote address, which focused on inspiring women entrepreneurs to be more ambitious when growing their companies. During the session, she shared case studies and particular business insights from Springboard Enterprises – an organization that selects, trains, and presents women-led companies to raise venture capital. Kay is the founder of USA Networks, The SYFY Channel and a game changing entrepreneur, having held such titles as Chairman of the Board, Fifth & Pacific (Formerly Liz Claiborne Inc.); Chairman and CEO, Koplovitz & Company; Chairman & Co-Founder, Springboard Enterprises. In 1998, President Clinton appointed Koplovitz to chair the bipartisan National Women’s Business Council.
The forum’s closing keynote was brilliantly delivered by Mika Brzezinski who discussed how today’s successful women have achieved their deserved recognition and financial worth in the workplace. The New York Times bestselling author of “Knowing Your Value” and the co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” inspired the audience with insights into equal pay issues, women in the boardroom, and candid personal tales on what it takes to achieve your goals. The talk also provided a memorable conclusion to the Forum by inviting an audience member onstage to determine her true worth and discover her authentic voice.
“The Women in CE conference has given me an entirely new perspective on my career,” stated Debbie Durden, Residential Strategic Marketing Manager, AMX. “I have never felt such camaraderie within an industry-related community, where we learned the importance of recognizing our individual worth and gaining courage from our collective influence as women. We spoke frankly about how to achieve respect in the workplace and I feel very motivated, harnessing this passion going forward.”
Also on the agenda was the return of Ideapreneur Sam Horn, author of POP!, who presented a session titled “OWN IT! How to Give and Get the Respect You Deserve.” Featured on MSNBC, BusinessWeek.com, Fastcompany.com, and in The New York Times, she provided the audience with concrete methodologies for communicating with confidence, approaches for increasing their influence within the marketplace, and how to obtain specific, desired results.
Other one-of-a-kind workshops included Springboard Enterprise’s “Dolphin Tank.” Amy Millman, president of Springboard Enterprises, adapted its popular Dolphin Tank workshop for Women in CE where audience members presented their business challenges and growth opportunities to an experienced panel of experts. The session delivered a vision-expanding experience on valuable considerations to help take any business to the next level. Guest panelists included Angela Lee, founder of 37 Angels Investment Network, Sandra Kresch, president of PSD International, Debra Filtzer, American Express Merchant Services, and Sandra Benedetto, Director of Product Management at THX Ltd.
Additionally, a highlight of the Forum was “The Merits of Mentoring” panel, which addressed the benefits of solid mentorship for both mentors and mentees of any age or stage of their careers. Maureen Jenson, editor-in-chief of Technology Integrator, Tell and CEDIA’s Electronic Lifestyles® moderated the panel. Panelists included Jeannette Howe, executive director, Specialty Electronics Nationwide, Katy Papadopoulos, director of all things creative at SheLuvsTech, Andrea Smith, an award-winning news and technology journalist, and Petro Shimonishi, global business team leader for headphones at D&M Holdings Inc.
“The Women in CE Forum has fueled new ambitions in both my professional and personal life,” said Marcia Barahona, marketing manager, trade shows and events, Core Brands. “Unlike conferences where presenters offer only slight variations on a common narrative, this gathering has given us practical tools and winning strategies that are easy to sustain beyond the context of the conference. I am anxious to apply these new approaches to my objectives and am already looking forward to next year’s event.”
Sponsors of the Women in CE Career Enhancement Forum included Monster, Inc.; Core Brands: ATON, BlueBOLT, ELAN, Furman, Niles, Panamax, Proficient, SpeakerCraft, Sunfire, Xantech; Klipsch; Crestron; Atlona; Mack Worldwide Warranty; Velodyne; Consumer Electronics Association (CEA); American Express Open; DEOS; Crimson; Lutron; SiriusXM; Polk Audio; Azione; Bedrock Learning; Consumer Technology Publishing Group (CTPG): Technology Integrator, Dealerscope, Home Entertainment Source (HES), Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA); Specialty Electronics Nationwide (SEN); Springboard Enterprises; Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA); and InfoComm International.
