The Power of Choice

This immersive keynote harnesses your competitive advantage, catapults your sales revenue, and accelerates connections.

In today’s fast-paced world, professionals frequently find themselves operating on autopilot, particularly when it comes to choices that can have a profound impact on relationships with customers and peers. Truly successful organizations are those that empower their employees to make deliberate and considerate choices in all aspects of their daily operations. With hundreds of decisions needing to be made every day, how do companies help their employees make the right decisions?

In her flagship keynote, Sylvie introduces the concept of “The POWER OF CHOICE”— an immersive learning and engaging experience, enhanced by cutting-edge 3D technology. Your attendees will go on a mind-bending journey, helping them to understand how the power of choice can be harnessed to create truly transformative experiences for your clients and employees.

Sylvie’s keynote is based on her five cornerstones of intelligence: 

  • Appearance – Visual 
  • Behavioral 
  • Communication – Non-Verbal and Verbal
  • Digital Footprint – Intentional and Unintentional
  • Social Environment

You Have 7 Seconds. Make Them Count!

Help your audience take control of their narrative by using their emotional intelligence to build lasting connections and drive results.

People we meet make quick decisions about us. In business, first impressions are essential to building relationships with others. They’ll set the tone for the entire experience, and the relationship with the brand will depend on them. The good thing is that this impression is something people can control. By leveraging the power of emotional intelligence, we can make intentional choices about how we present ourselves in these crucial moments.

Interactive, fun, and thought-provoking – Sylvie shows participants a deeper understanding of how others perceive them and the way their organization is perceived in the marketplace. They will learn how to proactively leverage their visual, behavioral, non-verbal, verbal, digital, and social intelligence to authentically convince others, build stronger relationships, and achieve tremendous success in their professional lives.

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.
