Women’s conference keynote speaker
Talent is not the gap. Being seen, heard and chosen is.
Real rooms. Real people. Real change.
Everyone now has the same AI, the same data and the same tools.
The only difference left is your people.
The women in your audience have the degrees, the results and the ambition.
What too often decides who gets the stretch assignment, the board seat or the funding is who gets seen, heard and chosen.
Many women were taught that great work gets noticed on its own. In rooms where decisions are made in minutes, it rarely does.
Be confident but not too much, warm but not soft, visible but not self-promoting. Your attendees have heard every version and are tired of the double bind.
An investor pitch, a promotion panel, a first meeting with a client: the judgment forms long before the last slide. Knowing how that judgment works is an advantage.
Teams that trusted me with their women’s events, among others
Some are running companies. Some are leading their first team. Their questions are surprisingly similar.
Will a machine do my job?
The better the machines get, the more your people will set you apart.
Why it lands with women audiences: AI is reshaping many of the roles where women build their careers. Forever Human shows them how to claim the human strengths that matter more, not less, as machines take over tasks.
Why does someone else get chosen?
What your people know rarely gets them chosen. What others see in them does.
Why it lands with women audiences: people decide in seconds who looks like a leader, an expert or a partner. The Power of Choice gives women a practical way to shape those decisions on their own terms, without becoming someone they are not.
No lectures and no telling women to fix themselves. The focus is on how decisions about people are made, and on what each attendee can influence.
I built a corporate career in Europe, moved continents and started my own business from zero. I share that story where it helps, honestly, including what it took.
The Women’s edition of The Image of Leadership gives every attendee a guide to take home. Copies of Forever Human, the book behind my Forever Human keynote, are available for your attendees as well.
The world’s first 3D immersive keynote turns a conference session into the moment everyone talks about at dinner. Like every keynote I deliver, it is customized to your theme.
Women’s conferences bring together founders, executives and rising talent. The keynote has to speak to every career stage in the room.
No slides, no pre-recorded hologram beamed in from somewhere else.
I stay live in the room while your leaders, sponsors and theme step into the story.
How clients describe it, in their own words.
How clients make it their own.
I help women become the person decision makers remember and choose.
I’m Sylvie di Giusto. Austrian by birth and American by choice, I spent nearly twenty years in corporate roles, ending as head of a management academy, before I started my own business as a keynote speaker. Today I’m a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame inductee and a mom who knows the juggling act firsthand. Women’s organizations trusted me, among others Women Presidents Organization, 100 Women in Hedge Funds, Women in Technology Network or Women in Design & Construction. What I bring is not a pep talk. It is a clear look at how people form judgments about us, and a set of choices every woman in your room can start using the next morning.
In their words, not ours.
Sylvie was absolutely delightful as she embraced, engaged and empowered the AutoZone team during her International Women’s Week keynote presentation. She developed an instant connection and kept her audience captivated. She was responsive, well-organized and took the time to prepare well in advance, which included visiting an AutoZone store! We would highly recommend Sylvie; she has set the bar high.
This woman will leave you hanging on to every word. I walked away inspired to be the best version of myself. Watch out Wonder Woman; there is a new superhero in town who goes by Sylvie.
Sylvie literally ‘brought down the house’! With energy, passion, personality, style and rock solid research, she had us all listening to every word with baited breath for each statement was a pearl of information dropped in the collective pool of our influence that I can already see the ripples of extension.
I have never worked with someone as exceptional as Sylvie! I learned more about myself and others’ impressions of me and have immediately started using those nuggets to make dramatic shifts in my launch.
Her thought-provoking presentation energized the group intellectually and physically, as Sylvie had participants on their feet and interacting with each other in exercises that perfectly complemented her talk.
I am still at a loss of words for how incredible, warm, real, and engaging Sylvie is. She is truly one of, if not the best, speaker I have had the opportunity to hear and engage with.
Women Presidents Organization · 3D immersive keynote
The Power of Choice is built on my book The Image of Leadership, and its Women’s edition carries a foreword by Camille Burns, CEO of the Women Presidents Organization. It speaks directly to the moments when women are evaluated, often unfairly and always quickly.
It shows how appearance, behavior, communication, digital presence and environment influence whether women are trusted, promoted and funded, and how to shape those signals authentically. Many women’s conferences give a copy to every attendee.
AI is reshaping many roles where women build careers, from operations to client service. Forever Human shows how to claim the human strengths that count for more, not less, as machines take on tasks.
Readers come away with a confident view of their value and a plan to make it visible. Many clients give a copy to every attendee at their women’s leadership event as the AI era companion to the Women’s edition.

The Power of Choice is often the natural fit, because it addresses how women are perceived and chosen for opportunities. Forever Human fits events focused on women’s careers in the age of AI. Both are customized to your members and theme.
Yes. Women’s organizations such as the Women Presidents Organization or 100 Women in Hedge Funds trusted Sylvie di Giusto, among others. She customizes the content to your organization and theme.
Yes. Sylvie di Giusto focuses on how all people make quick judgments about others and what women can influence, without suggesting that women are the problem. The tone is practical and empowering, not corrective.
