You are fabulous and your presentation was effective, engaging, and left our attendees realizing things about themselves that they now will use to fascinate others.

I have already updated my Linkedin profile using my unique advantages.” –Jennifer Doncsecz, CTIE, CEO, Travel A.L.L.I.E.S Society

“Sally Hogshead is an amazing speaker who truly brought the Fascinate Test to life. Having Sally come in and speak to the different archetypes helped bring clarity and a deeper understanding to our team on what makes us fascinating. The test was extremely accurate and Sally set up a clear roadmap on how to apply this information in both a personal and professional setting while providing our team with tangible practices we can walk away with. She was an inspiration!”

Sally Hogshead

Sally Hogshead’s Fascination Advantage Assessment program and keynote presentation was a great sponsorship fit for our marketing agency because it helps individuals do what we do for clients every day – help them become MORE of who they are, at their best. The pre-conference sponsorship promotion was valuable and Sally did a fantastic job of integrating our firm into her presentation. To an audience of clients, industry peers and prospects, it was an amazing opportunity to associate our brand with Sally’s How To Fascinate brand. –David Allred, Partner, Stamp Ideas Group (Full Sponsor  – Southeast Tourism Society’s Connection Conference)

Sally Hogshead

-“Refreshing, exciting, and kept them on their feet. You taught them how to distinguish themselves from others.”

-“Our advisors LOVED it. Everyone wanted to ask everyone else about their results. The talked about it throughout the conference, at happy hours, dinners, and networking events, their assessments were constant conversation.” –Anonymous audience members, Janney Montgomery Scott LLC

Sally Hogshead

“Sally was phenomenal! I knew her program would resonate and she just knocked it out of the park. We loved that she participated for a bit before and after her speech. Not a lot of keynote speakers do that and it was valuable for our attendees to interact with her. Finding out the email open rates averaged 60%, when it’s unusual to get more than 28%, tells us this is something they want more of. We learned from the analytics that our audience scored very high on power, trust, and alert, which reinforced some of the ways we’re marketing the National Convention. Sally also gave us two new ideas: to collect and catalog our members’ stories (she even offered to help us do that) and to transcribe our videos to create quick content for our members to reflect on. The analytics also provide insight into our leadership team’s personalities, how to best communicate with them, and structuring diverse volunteer teams. We learned that fascination makes you confident, confidence drives performance, and performance drives results.” –Patti Phillips, CEO, Women Leaders in College Sports

Sally Hogshead

  • “I liked how Sally provided examples that resonated with a marketer’s P.O.V.”
  • “I felt she was honest in how she shared her low points and how she changed her tactics to overcome them.”
  •  “I especially liked how she focused on making people feel as if they are fascinating, rather than trying to be fascinating ourselves. Turning it outward, not inward.”
  •  “I appreciated how she brought in personal elements of her own story – how she sent personalized mailers to her stakeholders really stuck out.”

Sally Hogshead

“Sally has mastered the art and science of communication from years of researching top companies and executives across the world. Our company recently benefited from her Fascination Advantage presentation at a customer conference. The energy in the room was palpable as our employees and customers learned how they could communicate “at their best” by using their strongest personal attributes to grab their audience’s attention – and make an impact. I believe our audience of vocational rehabilitation, workforce and technology professionals will greatly benefit from Sally’s message in their day-to-day lives. They’ll be able to carry this message to hundreds of their colleagues in the industry, and these ideas will be used in countless number of communications in their service to people with disabilities in this country. Which is to say, the impact is enormous.” — Chris M. Pieper, CEO at Alliance Enterprises, Inc.

“The attendee analytics from Sally’s presentation was eye opening.  Our audience’s primary communication mode, is completely different from what we thought. Months after the event our female attendees are still raving about her presentation. She was the perfect speaker to have a major impact on our top female executives.”  — Frances Rios, Women Who Lead™ Summit

Sally Hogshead

“I can’t recall the last time our entire population had so much buzz after a presentation. We’re starting to receive more detailed feedback from our 11 remote viewing sites and it seems people all around the country are talking about their archetype and what makes them individually fascinating. Great work!

On the plane ride back to Philly I started reading your book and as I dig into the details, I find myself drawn further and further in!!! The concept of taking complex ideas and thoughts about who we are and focusing and condensing them into just a few words that express how we can help our clients is very near and dear to our hearts! …In talking to you it seems there are many opportunities to work together on making our messaging engaging, concise and clear.” –The Siegfried Group

Sally Hogshead

“Sally, I can’t thank you enough. You over delivered. The audience loved you. Here are some of the many  great comments you got so you can see how well your message was received.  Thank you so much for making the 2016 Secret Service Summit the best ever!”

  • Fabulous energy!!! Such poise and confidence in her presentation, tons of take home and inspiration !!!!!! Loved it! !!
  • It was eye opening to be pointed to myself instead of only looking at what I want to accomplish.  Sally explained the critical nexus between the two.
  • She made me want to be fascinating 🙂 I’m looking forward to reading her book, thank you again for the gift!
