From Paris to Cape Town, from Singapore to San Francisco, Sylvie di Giusto is a globally respected keynote speaker known for transforming audiences with high-impact messages and fully immersive experiences. Her award-winning 3D keynotes have captivated professionals in more than 25 countries, combining advanced technology with deep emotional insight. Whether you’re hosting an executive summit along the Cape coastline or a large-scale conference at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, Sylvie helps professionals make intentional choices that shape careers, teams, and organizations. Her philosophy? The future isn’t something we find. It’s something we choose.
Sylvie di Giusto was raised in a multicultural European household—Austrian, French, Spanish, and Italian roots shaped her global worldview from childhood. These diverse cultural influences laid the foundation for her nuanced understanding of international audiences and their unique expectations. Her global perspective is also deeply enriched by personal ties to Switzerland and the UAE, making her attuned to both Western and Middle Eastern sensibilities.
Over the course of her 20+ year career, Sylvie held executive leadership roles that brought her into boardrooms, training centers, and innovation hubs across the globe. She led learning and development initiatives for Europe’s largest tourism and retail group, where she collaborated with teams from the UK to Hong Kong. Her insights are born not just of theory, but of real-world practice in international leadership settings.
Whether she’s speaking at an African innovation summit or delivering a keynote at a Fortune 100 leadership conference, Sylvie customizes her message to reflect both the local context and global trends. Her service on the board of the Global Speakers Federation further reinforces her commitment to elevating communication and leadership standards across cultures.
Though Sylvie resides in the United States, she frequently collaborates with global organizations through her exclusive representation by cmi, one of the most respected speaker agencies with worldwide reach. From South Africa to Southeast Asia, her work transcends geography. She’s become a sought-after name in executive education and leadership circles for her sharp insights and immersive delivery style.
Whether she’s headlining a major forum or helping teams reset and refocus, Sylvie brings an energy that’s both strategic and human. Her keynotes spark change and inspire action—across countries, cultures, and industries.
In professional life, game-changing decisions rarely come with headlines. More often, they’re disguised as everyday moments—how we show up, how we react, how we communicate under pressure. These micro-choices shape reputation, opportunity, and leadership impact.
Sylvie equips professionals with more than insight—she gives them tools. Grounded in behavioral science and paired with sharp real-world relevance, her keynotes show leaders, sales teams, and high-potential performers how to make more intentional choices that lead to visible, lasting results.
From conference rooms in Johannesburg to boardrooms in New York, she’s known for helping people lead with clarity, act with confidence, and influence with integrity. Audiences leave with strategies to navigate ambiguity, elevate their professional image, and engage others more powerfully.
Have you ever acted too quickly and regretted it? Seen someone stumble when the spotlight hit? Had a chance to lead—but hesitated? Or tried to win back a client who had clearly tuned out? These moments are more common than we like to admit—tight deadlines, rising stakes, and incomplete information make quick, reactive decisions the norm. So the real question becomes:
In addition to her speaking work, Sylvie is a published author whose books are used globally by leadership teams, sales organizations, and personal branding professionals. Her titles include “Discover Your Fair Advantage,” which helps readers identify and amplify their unique value, and “The Image of Leadership,” a series focused on perception and professional presence.
Sylvie’s 3D immersive keynotes combine compelling storytelling, behavioral science, and immersive visual design to create a space where professionals are not passive observers—they’re fully immersed participants. Her presentations are meticulously engineered to stir both thought and emotion, transforming insights into action. This isn’t a keynote you attend. It’s an experience you feel, remember, and carry forward.
Sylvie incorporates real-time audience interaction, thought-provoking prompts, and vivid visuals to turn each keynote into a co-created experience. She doesn’t just speak to the audience—she involves them, drawing them into the conversation through live polling, direct reflection exercises, and audience-driven engagement moments. Every session is built to stimulate both the analytical and emotional brain, creating a powerful bridge between insight and action.
Cape Town is where raw beauty meets strategic opportunity. It’s a city of contrasts—Table Mountain rising above modern skyscrapers, tech startups working beside centuries-old vineyards. For event organizers, it offers a backdrop that’s visually stunning and professionally rewarding.
