Fully customized. Never off the shelf.
Built for your Kuala Lumpur 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 Kuala Lumpur stages: Forever Human and The Power of Choice, live or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.
Kuala Lumpur is a city where a single lunch table can switch between Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English before dessert arrives. That is my kind of room. I grew up with an Austrian mother, a French father, a Spanish grandmother and an Italian grandfather, so I learned early that the best ideas happen where cultures overlap, not where they stay politely apart.
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 and personally booked the speakers our leaders heard. That work reached from Germany to the UK and Hong Kong, and it taught me that respect for seniority and real curiosity can share one stage, just as they so naturally do in Malaysia.
Today I live in Tampa, Florida, and my real office is wherever my laptop opens, very often an airport lounge somewhere between two time zones. I have served audiences in more than 25 countries and was inducted into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame. A city racing toward its digital future, in the shadow of the Petronas Twin Towers, is exactly where a conversation about staying human belongs.
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 Kuala Lumpur: as digital ambitions reshape Malaysian business and AI moves into every boardroom, it shows your people the ten moves a machine still can’t make.
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 Kuala Lumpur: in a business culture built on relationships and respect, it gives every team one shared framework for who gets 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 Kuala Lumpur, our team works hand in hand with your venue and AV partner, so the wow never costs you a sleepless night.

Sylvie di Giusto is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker and has worked with leaders across Europe and Asia.

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 Kuala Lumpur.
Yes, wherever there is a stage and a room that can go dark. Sylvie’s team works directly with your Kuala Lumpur 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 Malaysia requires for foreign speakers. They check the requirements for Malaysia 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 Kuala Lumpur 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.
