Description

about the event

How do you set yourself apart as a speaker from your peers and competitors? How do you distinguish yourself from the rest of the pack? What exactly makes you stand out? Why should event professionals or decision-makers trust, follow, buy from you, or buy into you? These are profound questions that any professional speaker should be able to answer instantly. However, we rarely take the time to identify what makes us one of a kind and discover how we can leverage this fair advantage for our speaking career and business.

During this interactive presentation, you will uncover the unique qualities and traits that you individually bring to your prospects and clients and that enable you to excel as a speaking professional. Through thought-provoking insights and profound questions, you discover the intersections of sixteen different factors that cannot be replicated by anyone else in the speaking industry, making you a “category of one.”

MEET OUR PRESENTER

International keynote speaker, Sylvie di Giusto, brings her expertise from a successful corporate career in Europe to every presentation. Formerly the head of a management academy and innovation hub, she developed innovative programs for high-end education with never-before-used training methods. As the Chief of Staff for the Chief Human Resources Officer of Europe’s largest tourism and retail group, Sylvie also coordinated all group-wide human resources teams and activities. Prior to that, at a consultancy firm, she implemented online and in-person training and development initiatives for Fortune 100 companies. Well versed in the study of social and cultural norms, personal beliefs and values, as well as cognitive biases and thought patterns, her 20 years in learning and development leaves a deep understanding into how ‘The Power of Choice’ impacts an organization’s sales, leadership and growth.

Now, extraordinary leaders and professionals at many of the most respected organizations and associations in the world—from American Express to American Airlines, Hilton to Nespresso, Microsoft to Prudential, and even the US Air Force—trust Sylvie to help them make the right decisions that grow their brands and bottom lines. Building on her five cornerstones of Modern Emotional Intelligence—visual, behavioral, verbal, digital, and social intelligence—Sylvie gives her audiences ‘The Power of Choice’ a conscious decision-making framework that allows us to understand our perceptions, choose our behaviors, and determine our best outcomes.

She is the author of The Image of LeadershipDiscover Your Fair Advantage and the upcoming Make Me Feel Important, in which she leads you deep into the customer experience and shows you how to make every interaction count. Sylvie takes your organization on an entertaining, spectacular, and thought-provoking journey through the brain, the mind, and from the unconscious to the conscious—and ultimately to the heights of personal, professional, and organizational success.
