• 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. When companies learn how to fascinate, their products become more desirable, their customers turn into advocates, and their best employees never want to leave. Sally explores the science of personal branding, based her original research of 100,000 people.

• The Fascination Advantage: Unlocking Your Personality's Natural, Hardwired Strengths

  Themed around her best-selling book of the same name, Hogshead offers her 7 triggers for captivation and persuasion, and compels audiences to ponder critical questions. Why are you captivated by some people but not by others? Why do you recall some brands yet forget the rest? In a distracted, overcrowded world, how do certain leaders, friends, and family members convince you to change your behavior? In answering these questions, Hogshead explores and explains fascination's irresistible influence and pinpoints the most powerful ways to influence decision making.

• The 9-Second Attention Span: How to Create a Fascinating Brand in Social Media and Beyond

  We live in a world with ADD. While the average attention span used to be 20 minutes today, the average attention span is roughly 9 seconds. Nine seconds. Tha’s the same as a goldfish! Your brand might only get 9 seconds to communicate a message… especially in social media. Sally Hogshead has developed a research-based system to make brands more fascinating. Drawing upon her 20 years of award-winning brand experience, and proprietary market research published in 14 languages, she teaches her step-by-step system for harnessing a consumer's attention. Lesson one: Stand out, or don't bother. Your audience will experience a thrilling journey through neurology, economics, history, and the science of the brain's hardwired fascination triggers. They will learn how to build trust and respect, out-think the competition, build word-of-mouth excitement in marketing and social media, and create raving, loyal fans.

• CAPTIVATE YOUR CUSTOMER: How Fascinating Companies Win the Moment

  When you fascinate your customers, they’re more likely to remember you, buy from you, and rave about you. Yet in today’s distracted and competitive environment, most messages are either forgotten or ignored. In a competitive market, the most fascinating option always wins. How will your participants compete, and win? Sally’s research uncovers new trends in how the brain establishes patterns of loyalty and respect. For example, she discovered that by applying certain hardwired triggers, a fascinating brand can charge up to four times more than its competitors. Taking audiences on a high-velocity journey through neurology, economic, and pop culture, Sally handpicks case studies and shares custom audience analysis. Participants will be buzzing long after the keynote ends, inspired by new ideas to transform their business.
