Here’s the deal. We are a nurse and a teacher. Presently we are also a State Senator and a National Education Consultant.  We’re friends, mentors, sisters (not to each other), have hubbies, are mothers and Mimi/Nana. We are like most women – making our way with multiple balls in the air.  Eventually we landed with heady titles State Senator and Women’s Health Director Soholt and Secretary of Education Schopp, leading us to be recognized leaders not only in South Dakota but also nationally. But looking back, we did a lot of wandering around in the wilderness, wasting time and energy, to finally get there. We don’t want that for other women. We believe there is a path to becoming an incredibly strong, confident woman of influence – in a way that is smoother, takes less time and is just plain fun!

We’ve created ten powerful high leverage practices – the Talismanic Ten! These practices are not another leadership or self help guide promising to change lives in ten easy steps. Instead they come from what we see as a wholistic view of what it takes to unlock women’s potential to influence their world.

Why high leverage practice?  Think about what a lever does.  With this tool, there is a way to use the least amount of effort to produce the maximum output.  This is how it should be in a woman’s life – focused effort that leads to outcomes aligned with her.  More time spent being in “flow”, and less time spent working so hard.

Our 10 high leverage practices (HLPs) are an application of ideas, that when repeated, lead to accelerated influence.  We’ve taken our combined career wisdom and distilled it down to what we know are the most significant practices leading to a juicy life.  Mastering the HLPs leads to being in a zone of optimal functioning and flow, resulting in crazy, good exceptional influence. And the outcome?  A strong confident woman.

We’re opening up new social media conversations through podcasts, blogs, and posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.  Additionally, we offer face-to-face opportunities for women, such as influential speeches and interactive workshops.  We provide custom-designed events to meet your needs, inspiring participants to accelerate their own influence and lives.
