HOW TO FASCINATE: From First Impressions to Lasting Value
We live in a distracted world. The average attention span is just 9 seconds. Yet if we only have 9 seconds to communicate value, how do we break through? To stop the distraction, and engage a listener, we must create moments of intense focus.
Yet when we do break through-when we use our personality advantages to connect and communicate-the results are extraordinary.
Sally Hogshead teaches audiences how to communicate and add value in the first 9 seconds. Participants learn how to fascinate, to become more memorable and valued.

This is a powerful, funny, high-energy presentation, filled with interaction. Each participant discovers his own unique advantage to be heard and remembered.
“Sally did a great Job. Her topic and assessment are interesting and relevant”
“I had well over 100 people come up to me and thanked me for bringing in Sally as the opening keynote for Content Marketing World. She set the bar high indeed. She is a true inspiration to me, as well as my team.”
“A huge hit! Every single one of the CEO attendees and sponsors loved it.”
“Fascinating! Sally showed our 1,500 small business owners how to use their unique individual strengths, and actively use them to grow their own businesses.”
“It was as if Sally had studied our work, our group and our culture for months…her ability to identify JUST WHAT WE NEEDED TO HEAR, in a genuinely interested and interesting manner was masterful. And it worked. There is already evidence that our typically jaded group not only heard her, but has started putting Sally’s concepts into action. In a recent new business effort, we actively discussed using the ‘triggers’ to make our pitch more, well, more fascinating!”
