Sally Hogshead Stuck in a career rut? No way out? Lob a cherry bomb! "Cherry bombs are quick but explosive ideas that startle a situation out of paralysis. Bursts of thinking to create change within you, or around you."

About the author:

Growing up with the last name Hogshead would give anyone an unconventional point of view. After surviving years of harassment on the playground, Sally has been described by the press as "audacious," "intrepid," and "the Oracle of Venice Beach."

In her second year as an advertising writer, Sally won more awards for creativity than any other writer in the country. She founded her first ad agency at 27. Her work for clients such as Coke, MINI Cooper, Godiva, and BMW Motorcycles has been covered by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN, and included into the permanent exhibit of The Smithsonian’s Museum of American History.

Today, Sally is a keynote speaker and consultant for companies wanting to develop their ultimate competitive advantage. As a "S.W.A.T. Creative Director," she helps turbocharge brands with PR buzz and smarter, cooler, faster ideas.

Sally lives in Los Angeles with her two young children and her husband, a stay-at-home dad. Her secret mission in life is to bring back the hogshead as a unit of popular measurement in the U.S.
