Please join the Lifestyle Group for Women in Business and guest speaker Mellissa Tong at the Chamber Offices on Thursday, April 11 from 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM to learn “How to tell your story on video” Presented by ex-Newscaster turned award-winning Storyteller Mellissa Tong When you look at successful businesses, what do you think is the number one factor that separates them from their competitors? The answer is their STORY. Most buzz-worthy companies have a unique story that makes them stand out as a brand. At the end of the day, why do you think people buy? People buy not simply because they want the products or services, they buy because the message about the services or products speaks to them in an emotional way. It makes them feel that their life will become better in some way. Imagine if you have a story that can capture the hearts of your audience and you’re able to record that on video and post on social media? What will that do for your business? This 45 min session includes: - Finding your why and incorporating that into your brand story - Articulating your special value propositions to stand out from your competitors - Recording your brand story on video to reach a bigger audience on social media Register at laxcoastal.com!

Ahoy! Join us for our 41st Annual Teacher Eddy Awards - Captains of Education! Our teachers (like boat captains) are adventurers, visionaries, problem solvers, and stand brave and tall in moments of adversity. They work tirelessly and use their intuition as their "true north". They put their "student sailors" before their own needs. Being a "Captain of Education" is no easy feat. It takes perseverance, grit, and daily determination to stir the ship home to its harbor. Our local schools are fortunate to have outstanding "Captain" teachers who possess all these qualities and more. They are true heroes in our community, and this evening is dedicated to recognizing and honoring them. This Oscar night for our education community brings together over 300 educators, administrators, business leaders, and community members to celebrate and recognize the outstanding contributions of local teachers. Each school will select their Teacher of the Year honoree, who will be invited to attend the dinner gala. Prepare to be amazed by the fun surprises and heartfelt moments that await you at this special evening! Swipe ➡️ to see available Sponsorship opportunities! A huge thank you to our confirmed sponsors! Please register for individual tickets at laxcoastal.com #laxcoastal #teachereddyawards #losangeles #westchesterca

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate! #laxcoastal #easterblessings

Meet Anna Jennings! Tell us more about your work and your business. Hot take—designing for ”user experience” is not as important as designing for the website owner’s experience. In fact, it is irrelevant if the business can’t easily manage, update, and integrate their website into daily operations. If the website owner’s experience is excellent, their customer's usually is too. Theatrum Mundi’s alternative approach to web design fuses creativity and entrepreneurial thinking. Subjective experience of a brand or organization drives the front-facing visual design, while your objective business goals inform the behind the scenes functionality. What inspired you to start your own small business in our LAX Coastal community? The plethora of overlapping communities, both local and global, offers businesses access to a global network while simultaneously promoting a strong sense of local community. Nearly everyone needs a website and starting my business in this community allows me to connect with clients from many different industries and backgrounds. Tell us about a female leader that you feel was a trailblazer in breaking down barriers. I’ll throw it back about 450 years and say Queen Elizabeth I. Her reign (1558-1603) was known as the “Golden Age” despite the constant threats and criticisms from all angles to her authority as a “woman king.” As an early modern “trailblazer” she constantly defied societal expectations. Not marrying or having children was basically unimaginable for a woman at the time, but her decision allowed her to maintain her autonomy and control over the throne. Can you imagine the fortitude and intelligence she must have had to navigate those circumstances? If I could have dinner with anyone living or dead, it would be Queen Elizabeth I. What opportunities can the Chamber & our greater business community facilitate to support female business leaders? Keep up the good work! I especially enjoy the connections I’ve gained through Lifestyle Group events geared towards women specifically, but the resources and network the Chamber provides supports business leaders regardless of gender! #laxcoastal #womenshistorymonth
