> Keynote speaker and author on fascination, personal branding, and how the
> world sees you. Creator of the Fascinate(R) System and the Fascination
> Advantage(R) assessment. Author of *Fascinate*, *How the World Sees You*, and
> *Radical Careering*.

Sally Hogshead speaks on how people and brands become fascinating to the
audiences that matter to them. Her core argument: different is better than
better. Rather than improving against a competitor's benchmark, you win by
being distinct in a way the market already values.

The Fascinate(R) System is built on research into how audiences perceive
communication. It identifies seven Advantages — Innovation, Passion, Power,
Prestige, Trust, Mystique, and Alert — and the Archetypes formed when they
combine. The assessment measures how others perceive someone, not how they see
themselves, which is what separates it from personality tests.
