Sylvie di Giusto, CSP, CPAE, is inducted into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame at NSA's 2025 Influence Conference.
The Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) recognizes speakers who have reached the pinnacle of professional platform excellence. Recipients are selected by existing CPAE members through a confidential, peer-review process that evaluates candidates across five dimensions: message, delivery, experience, professionalism, and influence.
'Every now and then, a true artist appears on stage. They rock our world. They are the Georgia O'Keeffes, the Pablo Picassos of the speaking world. This honoree is just that type of artist,' said Mark Scharenbroich, CSP, CPAE, who welcomed di Giusto to the stage for her CPAE induction. Widely considered one of the most influential keynoters in NSA history, Scharenbroich is, in di Giusto's words, 'the gold standard of professional speaking—the best keynote speaker in the world.'
A Career Built on Perception, Credibility, and the Power of Choice
Known as the expert in perception management in the workplace, Sylvie di Giusto has spent the past fifteen years transforming audiences with a deceptively simple but unforgettable message: You have seven seconds. Make them count. She has helped hundreds of thousands of professionals across Fortune 100 companies, associations, government agencies, and international events rethink how they show up—and how they are remembered.
Di Giusto's work is grounded in two decades of corporate experience in Europe, where she led executive development initiatives and served as Chief of Staff to the CHRO of one of the world's largest tourism and retail companies. Her global perspective, combined with her mastery of behavioral psychology, has made her a trusted advisor for leaders and organizations navigating change, perception, and competitive differentiation.
Her work has earned her a fiercely loyal client base, with global brands such as American Airlines, American Express, Hilton, Microsoft, Prudential, Nespresso, and the U.S. Air Force inviting her to inspire and equip their teams.
She is also the author of more than a dozen books and a frequent media contributor, known for her thought leadership on perception, bias, reputation, and workplace influence. Within the speaking industry, she's celebrated for her integrity, generosity, and high standards.
But it's not just the message—it's the medium. In 2023, she disrupted and redefined keynote delivery by launching a fully immersive 3D keynote experience, becoming the first in the world to blend cutting-edge technology with emotionally resonant storytelling and content. Her immersive holographic experiences have become a signature for conferences seeking high engagement and lasting impact, and something truly unique—an experience their audiences have never seen before.
Joining a Legacy of Icons
With this induction, Sylvie di Giusto joins a prestigious Hall of Fame that includes legendary figures such as Zig Ziglar, Dr. Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy, Dr. Nido Qubein, and even President Ronald Reagan.
The induction ceremony took place at NSA's annual Influence conference, where nearly 1,000 speakers, industry leaders, and event professionals gathered to celebrate the power of the spoken word. In her acceptance, Sylvie acknowledged her mentors, collaborators, and family. She also offered heartfelt thanks to the CPAE committee and fellow Hall of Fame members:
'Thank you for defending me in a room I wasn't in. I'm not here just because of me. I'm also here because of you. Because so many of you set the bar so high, and then showed me how to climb.'

Yankees are paying 3 players a combined $43.8 million to not play for them
The New York Yankees have always been known for having a lot of money. They may not be the richest franchise in baseball anymore, though. The New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers seem to be shelling out even more dough. But the Yankees have one financial flex going for them, if it can be called a flex. And it's this: They're currently paying three players a combined $43.8 million not to play for them. Those three guys are DJ LeMahieu, Aaron Hicks and Marcus Stroman. The number works out to $43,785,714, to be exact. MORE: Cubs' Matthew Boyd has mastered the balk pickoff move Baseball contracts, unlike many of those in other professional sports, are fully guaranteed upon signing. That means when the Yankees get rid of Hicks in the past, or LeMahieu and Stroman this season, they're still owed their money. Stroman was just released after his last start, a bit of a surprise move. And like Stroman, both Hicks and LeMahieu were better before getting their latest Yankees contracts than they were afterward. MORE: Red Sox leapfrog the Yankees in the standings for first time since March As a big-market club with deep pockets, the Yankees can afford to make mistakes in contracts every once in a while. It's still not ideal that these mistakes are costing more than $43 million to guys not currently wearing the pinstripes in any form. The $43 million might not come in handy now, but it could matter greatly down the line. That's very real money that the Yankees won't have from production they aren't getting anyway.

Boeing's second strike in less than a year begins at three defense plants
Labor unionsFacebookTweetLink Follow Boeing on Monday was hit with its second strike in less than a year, as 3,200 hourly machinists walked off their aerospace jobs in the St. Louis area. Members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM) voted to authorize a strike at three defense plants starting Monday at 12:59 a.m. ET. '3,200 highly-skilled IAM Union members at Boeing went on strike at midnight because enough is enough,' the union wrote on X after the walkout began. The union overwhelmingly rejected a tentative agreement a week ago that would have given many of the members raises of 40% over the four-year life of the contract. The members voted Sunday to reject a revised contract that removed scheduling provisions that had prompted objections from rank-and-file members. 'IAM District 837 members build the aircraft and defense systems that keep our country safe,' IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli said in a statement Sunday. 'They deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps their families secure and recognizes their unmatched expertise.' The strike is the latest blow to Boeing, following six years of massive financial losses and setbacks in many areas of its business, including the defense and space unit affected by this strike. The company has rung up core operating losses of $42.2 billion since the second quarter of 2019. That was after the fatal crashes of two commercial 737 Max planes and the subsequent 20-month grounding of the model. The company's problems in its commercial plane unit have, understandably, gotten the most attention. But Boeing Defense, Space and Security unit also logged nearly $11 billion in losses from late 2021 through the end of last year. That was largely due to Pentagon contracts that made the company responsible for cost overruns, including two new Air Force One jets. But so far this year, the unit has been profitable. The workers in St. Louis and St. Charles, Missouri, and Mascoutah, Illinois, build such military aircraft as F-15 and F/A-18 fighter jets, the T-7A Red Hawk trainer, and the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned refueler. The F-47 stealth fighter jet, the Pentagon's next-generation fighter plane, is due to be built at a Boeing plant in the St. Louis area, though the company has not said which plant will build it or when production will start. Boeing also operates some nonunion plants in the area. 'We're disappointed our employees rejected an offer that featured 40% average wage growth and resolved their primary issue on alternative work schedules,' said a statement from Dan Gillian, Boeing general manager and senior St. Louis site executive. 'We are prepared for a strike and have fully implemented our contingency plan to ensure our non-striking workforce can continue supporting our customers.' Earlier this week, Boeing said that a $5,000 signing bonus that was part of its offers to the union would be withdrawn if the members did not ratify a deal before the strike deadline. The IAM negotiating committee had recommended that members ratify the deal presented last week. 'With stronger pensions, real wage growth, and better work-life balance, we've delivered a contract that meets the moment,' the committee said at the time. But less than 5% of the rank-and-file workers of IAM Local 837, which represents the defense workers, voted for that tentative agreement. The union did not give precise results in Sunday's votes. Despite years of serious financial problems, Boeing is still one of the nation's largest manufacturers, with contractors spread across all 50 states. It also has a huge backlog of contracts, for both commercial and military aircraft, that will keep it in business. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in the company's earnings call last week that he believes the company will be able to weather the costs of the strike, which he suggested would be far less than the cost of last year's strike of 33,000 commercial plane unit workers. 'The order of magnitude of this is much, much less than what we saw last fall,' he said. 'I wouldn't worry too much about the implications of the strike. We'll manage our way through that.'
