Sylvie Di Giusto on Counsel Culture with Eric Brooker

Eric Brooker reconnects with Sylvie Di Giusto, keynote speaker, author, and global authority on first impressions, perception, and personal brand, for a reflective and forward-looking conversation about leadership, restraint, and intentional presence. Sylvie looks back on a demanding year marked by personal and professional challenges and explains why she abandoned her original theme in favor of a simpler, steadier one: better days are coming. From there, the conversation shifts into 2025, where she commits to a new guiding principle—less is more—and unpacks what that means in a culture driven by overproduction, hustle, and constant visibility. Together, Eric and Sylvie explore how leaders can create stronger impact by doing less, but doing it with greater clarity and intention. They challenge the idea that success requires nonstop output and instead argue for discernment, focus, and presence as modern leadership advantages. The conversation also dives into Sylvie’s core work around first impressions, personal branding, and perception—both in-person and in a virtual world. They examine how appearance, behavior, and communication shape credibility, why situational awareness matters more than formulas, and how unconscious bias influences the way we judge others. In this episode, they discuss: • Choosing themes that guide behavior, not just ambition • Why less is more is a leadership discipline, not a retreat • The long-term cost of hustle culture and overcommitment • First impressions and why they still shape opportunity • Personal branding versus performative branding • Showing up intentionally in virtual meetings • Why virtual backgrounds often undermine credibility • Cultural nuance, unconscious bias, and reading the room • Confidence, visibility, and the risk of blending in • How presence and restraint create lasting impact Sylvie Di Giusto brings decades of global corporate experience and a human-centered approach to leadership, communication, and perception. This episode is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in real experience rather than theory. If you’re entering a new season rethinking pace, priorities, or how you show up professionally, this conversation offers clarity, perspective, and permission to simplify.
