Fascination is the most intense state of focus. When you fascinate someone, they can’t stop thinking about you and your message.

In addition to being the bestselling author of How the World Sees You and Fascinate, Sally Hogshead is the creator of the Fascination Advantage Assessment, the first personality test based on branding principles (not psychology) and developed through research of over 1 million participants. As an advertising icon, Sally was intrigued by why we’re captivated by some brands – and people – but not others.

In her programs, she weaves together neurology, economics, branding, history, biology, personal development, and pop culture. She has been compared to Seth Godin and Marcus Buckingham because her energetic style and research-based content instantly command an audience’s attention. Sally is best suited for main stage keynotes and events that demand a powerful, authoritative, and passionate speaker.  All audience members receive access to the Fascination Advantage Assessment in advance and she reveals the group results, as part of each customized presentation.  A few of her most popular topics include:
