It doesn’t matter what industry your members work in. Their interactions with their clients, stakeholders, or communities must reflect a consistent corporate and personal brand that instantly conveys their professionalism, sincerity, and drive.
Their professional reputation plays a vital role in your members' career success and the success of their organization.
A professional's first impression can either make or break a business deal, a job interview, or other social or professional interactions.
How they perceive themselves has a significant effect on how the world perceives them. Increasing their ability to see themselves through other people's eyes and leaving favorable first and lasting impressions will increase their success in their career, business, and life.
A positive reputation gives them a competitive edge that can open doors, increase earning potential, and lead to promotions or new opportunities.
In contrast, a negative reputation damages their relationships and prevents them from advancing professionally, making it difficult to get hired, get promoted, close sales, or gain new clients.
The ability to stand out and be memorable for the right reasons will help them in both their personal and professional lives.
To gain confidence in social and professional settings—in person and online—it is imperative that they understand the psychology of first impressions and how they can utilize it to their advantage.
With the power of verbal and nonverbal communication, your members can establish a great first impression that lasts beyond your event.
In the world of associations, I have a proven track record of delivering engaging and thought-provoking keynote presentations. As a result, highly successful associations continue to book me year after year, including the following:
The combination of my extensive experience, distinct presentation style, and thought-provoking content consistently places me among the top speakers at annual conventions and mid-year events. My keynote presentations for members of associations like yours are packed with valuable insights, practical tools, and useful tips that your members can implement today. Along with being exceptionally well prepared, I also ensure the highest quality of my presentations by blending storytelling with current research, real-world examples, and robust insights. Throughout a shared, fun, and interactive experience, I will provide your members with the awareness and skill set needed to represent themselves and their companies with clarity, confidence, and conformity.
Furthermore, I know firsthand how critical it is to engage your members. As the president of the National Speakers Association (NSA) for New York City (2018–2019), co-host of the National NSA Conference, “The Future of Speaking,” and co-host of the international NSA Annual Convention, “Influence,” (2020), I understand what it takes to lead dedicated professionals who are collaborating under the banner of one vision, one mission, and one message.
I realize your keynote speaker is like the headliner at a music festival or the main attraction at a party—it is often one of the reasons attendees show up. Therefore, you must make sure the keynote speaker is worth both their time and their money.
You can count on me to contribute to your emails, newsletters, social media, podcasts, and magazines to promote your event. First impressions are everything, so you and I will hit it off impressively and get your attendees excited about the upcoming event. I can help you boost attendance, engage attendees, spark interest in your association, and work with sponsors if needed.
It would be an honor for me to deliver your association’s annual convention keynote speech and help your members make a lasting impression. My promise to you is that I will tailor my presentation to the theme of your conference and adapt it to the industry and profession of your membership. I am committed to delivering a keynote presentation that will leave a lasting impression on your members.
Having selected speakers for over 30 years, the challenge is to be relevant to your audience, be personable, easy to work with, flexible and genuine! Sylvie di Giusto is all of those! She’s among my top picks.
To date, Sylvie was the highest-rated speaker and attendees still talk about her and how they can further connect with her.
Sylvie is a true pro! We had to cancel our annual convention due to COVID-19. Sylvie did an excellent job presenting a virtual session and our members really enjoyed it. We all learned something new! Sylvie has a dynamic and engaging presence, which made the virtual session even better. We highly recommend hiring Sylvie for your virtual session!
I have been “one of you” for nearly 20 years. I understand the corporate world and the world of speaking like few other speakers in this industry.
I have already reached tens of thousands of participants worldwide and have planted the seed of first impressions for themselves and their organizations.
I connect with a wide range of audiences of varying cultures, genders, and ages, and I have the ability to address everyone from the doorman to the CEO.
I create a memorable experience in a fun, creative and informative way. I “do” the unexpected, and your audience will remember the lessons I share.
I do not use canned presentations because I know each industry, company, and audience has its own challenges and needs a different approach and way to inspire them.
I amaze my clients. I deliver a level of excellence that they could not imagine was possible. Good is never good enough for me.
I am easy to work with. I’m not the kind of speaker who has special requests. Instead, I focus on making your stressful job as easy as possible.
I’m all yours for the entire day, and I’m happy to be involved in additional engagements such as photo ops, book signings, and VIP lunches or dinners, etc.
I truly love what I do, and I feel very privileged that you are considering me as the speaker for your upcoming event.
I’m happy to take you up the stairs. Yes, literally. Join me in climbing the highest buildings in the world. If I can do it, you can too! 😉
