How To Fascinate

Brand Strategist / Team Engagement Coach

HOW TO FASCINATE® CERTIFIED BRAND ADVISOR
According to the Carnegie Institute of Technology, only 15% of
your success is technical. 85% of your financial success is due
to your personality, and your ability to communicate, negotiate, and
lead. Creating a personal brand that fascinates gives you instant
credibility and the confidence to build persuasive rapport.
