Fully customized. Never off the shelf.
Built for your São Paulo stage.
Sylvie di Giusto calls the United States home, and airport lounges around the world her second office. She is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker who helps organizations, and the people inside them, become impossible to replace. She has worked with leaders from Germany to the UK and Hong Kong, and brings two keynotes to São Paulo stages: Forever Human and The Power of Choice, live or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.
São Paulo doesn’t slow down for anyone, and its audiences don’t either. This is where Brazil’s boardrooms, banks and hospitals make their big decisions, usually before the coffee has cooled. A keynote here has to earn its place in a packed agenda, so I build mine for people who want ideas they can put to work on Monday morning, not a pleasant hour away from their inboxes.
For nearly twenty years I sat on your side of the table. I led the leadership academy of Europe’s largest retail and tourism group, decided which leaders rose, and booked the speakers who stood in front of them. I worked with leaders from Germany to the UK and Hong Kong, and I learned that the biggest companies are rarely short of data. What they need is clarity about the people behind it.
My Italian grandfather would have felt right at home in a city with so much Italian heritage on its menus and street signs. Me? I call Florida home and airport lounges my second office, and a flight south to Guarulhos is one of the easier long hauls on my map. I deliver my keynotes in English, and I always leave room for the warm, lively conversations Brazilians are famous for.
The better the machines get, the more your people will set you apart.
AI just made everyone equally capable. Sylvie names the ten moves a machine still can’t make and shows your audience how to lead, sell and connect with the human signals technology can’t fake.
Why it lands in São Paulo: in Brazil’s financial and tech capital, AI is already on every agenda. This shows your audience which moves must stay firmly human.
Explore Forever Human
What your people know rarely gets them chosen. What others see in them does.
Clients, talent and the room decide in seconds. Sylvie reveals the five dimensions that quietly decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and how to shape them on purpose.
Why it lands in São Paulo: in a city that runs on relationships and fast decisions, it gives leaders a clear framework for why some people are kept, followed and chosen.
Explore The Power of ChoiceNo slides, no pre-recorded hologram beamed in from somewhere else. Sylvie stays live in the room while holograms appear around her, and your leaders, sponsors and theme can step into the story. In São Paulo, our team works hand in hand with your venue and AV partner, so the wow never costs you a sleepless night.

Yes. Every keynote is researched and customized for your people, your industry and your theme, and Sylvie’s multicultural background helps her connect with audiences of many nationalities in São Paulo.
Yes, wherever there is a stage and a room that can go dark. Sylvie’s team works directly with your São Paulo venue and AV partner, checks the floor plan early and sends the full tech requirements. See how the experience works.
Forever Human. It shows audiences the ten moves a machine still can’t make, and turns AI anxiety into a clear plan for the human skills that grow in value as technology gets better.
The Power of Choice. It reveals the five dimensions that decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and shows people how to shape those judgments on purpose. It is built on Sylvie’s book The Image of Leadership.
Yes. Sylvie speaks in more than 25 countries. Her team handles travel and logistics, so you work with one contact from the first call to the show.
Yes. Sylvie partners with speaker bureaus around the world. If a bureau already supports your event, Sylvie’s team will work directly with them from the first call to the show, so you keep the partner you trust.
Sylvie’s team handles it with you. Sylvie speaks internationally all year, so her team knows the paperwork a cross-border keynote can involve: business visas or work permits, invitation letters, and any tax forms Brazil requires for foreign speakers. They check the requirements for Brazil early, tell you exactly what they need from you, and take care of the rest, so nothing stands between your date and the stage.
As early as your dates are set. Peak conference seasons in São Paulo fill venues and hotels fast, and the 3D immersive keynote needs a few weeks of custom work for your audience. Check availability to hold your date.
Yes. Both keynotes are available in person, hybrid or virtual, and each version is customized to your audience and theme.
