Power Luncheon | Lead Out Loud: Building Influence in a Digital World
June 17 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm CDT - $50 – $70
In today’s world, leadership doesn’t just happen in boardrooms; it happens online.
Whether we like it or not, our digital presence shapes how we are perceived as leaders. Employees, clients, partners, and future opportunities are all paying attention. The question is: Are we leading that narrative, or letting it lead us?
Join TeamWomen for an engaging Power Luncheon conversation with Kristi Piehl, Founder and CEO of Media Minefield, Emmy Award-winning journalist, author of Flip Your Script, and one of Minnesota’s most influential business leaders. Fresh off the slopes of Italy and covering the 2026 Winter Olympics for NBC, KARE11 morning anchor Alicia Lewis will be leading this conversation.
During this engaging conversation, Kristi will share:
- Why digital leadership is no longer optional
- The biggest mistakes leaders make online
- How to strategically build credibility and influence
- What it really means to “own your story” in a digital, AI-powered world
- How to create a digital legacy you’re proud of
Three Key Takeaways the Audience Can Do After the Presentation:
- Create a schedule to engage with social media effectively
- Build a simple strategy to post content that builds a positive digital legacy
- Immediately implement authentic practices to help themselves and others
This conversation will challenge you to think differently about visibility, reputation, and influence and equip you with practical insights you can apply immediately.
Because leadership today isn’t quiet. It’s visible. It’s intentional. And when done well, it’s powerful.
Online registration closes at 11 AM on June 15th, 2026
