This immersive keynote harnesses your competitive advantage, catapults your sales revenue, and accelerates connections.
Ever had one of those “shoulda, woulda, coulda” moments after a crucial interaction with a team member or client, knowing you missed the chance to make a lasting impact? Sylvie delves into the profound power of intentional choices and their ability to shape outcomes in leadership and client relationships.
Intentional choices are the cornerstone of leadership excellence, guiding team interactions with clarity and purpose, or they define client-centric approaches that build trust, foster loyalty, and drive impactful results. However, too often, we operate on autopilot, unaware of the profound influence our choices have on relationships, reputations, and results. The Power of Choice challenges this status quo, revealing how intentional decisions can transform outcomes and unlock untapped potential for personal, professional, and organizational success.
During a transformative journey through the mind—from the unconscious to the conscious—grounded in behavioral psychology and enriched by decades of corporate experience, this keynote reveals how intentional choices in visual, behavioral, communicational, digital, and social interactions shape success and unlock untapped potential.
The Power of Choice offers an important reminder: excellence isn’t about doing more or changing who you are—it’s about choosing better. With every interaction, even the smallest micro-choice holds the potential to create a meaningful macro-impact.
ROI & Key Outcomes:
- Intentionality: the power of intentional choices in shaping personal and organizational growth.
- Self Awareness: how your choices in the five cornerstones enhances your success.
- Emotional Intelligence: how to harness the five cornerstones of intelligence.
- Impact: how making intentional choices benefits you as a professional and contributes to organizational excellence.

Forever Human
How do we stay human in a world increasingly run by machines?
Sylvie explores this essential question, challenging leaders and professionals to embrace the human element as their most valuable resource in a technology-driven future.
As automation, artificial intelligence, mixed realities, robotics, and other cutting-edge advancements revolutionize workplaces and client interactions, human behavior itself is undergoing profound changes. How we communicate, build trust, and engage with one another is shifting rapidly. Employees and clients alike will approach their interactions differently—more informed, more selective, and more reliant, but also less patient, less accountable, and less focused to mediate their decisions. The question isn’t just how to maintain human connection but how to adapt and lead in this new dynamic.
The future belongs to those who can balance technological innovation with the enduring power of human connection. Leaders and professionals who understand and anticipate these changes can create workplaces that embrace innovation while fostering meaningful relationships.
How much of your success with clients depends on your product or service- the features, data, facts, and figures? And how much depends on you, the human being, interacting with that client? Probably more than you might think. Sylvie unpacks the seemingly fleeting micro-moments that can shape trust, build loyalty, and influence decisions - moments that are often overlooked but hold the power to define the outcome of every client relationship.
Clients make snap decisions. Should they hire us, trust us, buy something from us, or buy into us? It just takes a blink of an eye, and like it or not, you’re going to be judged. And while we may wish to believe that their decisions are based on logic and reason, most often, they are anything but rational. Instead, they are deeply influenced by unconscious beliefs and hidden drivers that shape how they perceive and respond to us - humans.
This may seem unfair, but it’s also an opportunity to take control of the narrative and showcase your best self - from the very first interaction to the lasting impression you leave behind. Recognizing and understanding these forces is the key to turning quick judgments into enduring trust, loyalty, and influence.
This keynote offers an insightful journey through the entire customer experience journey, uncovering how seemingly fleeting micro-moments - at every touchpoint - can have a profound macro impact. From first impressions that set the tone to lasting impressions that solidify relationships, Sylvie highlights how these pivotal moments define trust, strengthen connections, and drive business outcomes.
ROI & Key Outcomes:
- Insight into what your first impression communicates about your personality, values, and beliefs - how to align your personal brand with your professional goals and corporate brand.
- How first impressions can shape customers’ perceptions of your organization - how to create a
consistent and positive image in all customer-facing interactions. - Identify and overcome unconscious biases in your personal and professional relationships - how to build stronger connections with customers, vendors, managers, or colleagues.
- A deep understanding of the psychology of first impressions and their impact on personal and
professional relationships, including how to leverage emotional intelligence to make positive
and lasting impressions.

What sets you apart in a world where everyone strives to stand out? How do you distinguish yourself from peers and competitors, or from the sea of sameness that dominates today’s professional landscape? And what defines your unique value to those you aim to influence or inspire? Sylvie uncovers the answers to these pivotal questions that often remain unexplored by professionals who rarely take the time to identify what makes them truly one of a kind.
Identifying your unique selling points is not just a matter of professional pride; it’s a strategic necessity in today’s competitive landscape. Without a clear understanding of what sets you apart, you risk fading into the background—a place where visibility diminishes and opportunities slip away.
Self-sabotage often comes not from a lack of talent or skill, but from failing to communicate your value effectively to decision-makers. By recognizing and embracing your fair advantage, you not only enhance your visibility but also build the confidence and clarity needed to seize opportunities, inspire trust, and achieve meaningful career growth.
Inspired by Sylvie’s book, this keynote offers a transformative and interactive experience, guiding participants through the 15 essential components that define and amplify their fair advantage. Participants will gain actionable insights into how to uncover, embrace, and strategically leverage their unique strengths to elevate their positioning, build influence, and create authentic connections in any professional setting.
