Sylvie Di Giusto

More than a decade ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life by leaving my successful twenty-year corporate career in Europe and bringing my young family across the Pond to America with a newborn on my lap. I exercised what I have since called the Power of Choice, a conscious decision-making framework that allows us to understand our perceptions, choose our behaviors, and determine our best outcomes.

Now, extraordinary leaders and professionals at many of the most respected organizations, associations, and government agencies in the world—from American Express to American Airlines, Hilton to Nespresso, Microsoft to Prudential, and even the US Airforce—trust me to help them make the right decisions to grow their brands and bottom lines.

Building on my five cornerstones of Modern Emotional Intelligence—visual, behavioral, verbal, digital, and social intelligence—I give my audiences the Power of Choice to determine their greatest outcomes in leadership, sales, and customer experience. I take them on a thought-provoking and immersive journey through the brain, the mind, from the unconscious to the conscious—and ultimately to the heights of personal, professional, and organizational success.

I am one of fewer than 12 percent of speakers worldwide who received the Certified Speaking Professional designation, 11-time award winner, the author of “The Image of Leadership,” the soon to be released next book “Fair Advantage,” and the mind behind dozens of innovative mobile online courses, including “How You Impress.”

When I am not working, I am volunteering with the National Speakers Association and the Global Speakers Federation. When I am not volunteering, I am racing more than 102 floors in the stairwells of some of the highest buildings around the world, cruising around on my boat in sunny Florida, or I am spending time with my two wonderful teenage children who test my emotional intelligence e.v.e.r.y single day.
