2025
Sylvie Di Giusto, CSP, CPAE
This year, we are proud to introduce a new honour — the Voice of GSF Award. It was created to recognize an individual whose leadership, creativity, and dedication have profoundly shaped the Global Speakers Federation.
This inaugural award could not go to anyone more deserving than Sylvie di Giusto. During her four years of service as the GSF Representative for her association, Sylvie has left an indelible mark on our organization. Her visionary leadership and tireless contributions have elevated the visibility, professionalism, and unity of the GSF worldwide.
Sylvie was the architect of the original playbook for Professional Speakers Celebration Day, laying the foundation for a global initiative that continues to bring our community together each year.
She also authored an extraordinary 365 daily posts for GSF’s social media — one for every single day of the year — helping to educate, inspire, and inform others about who we are and what we stand for.
Her creative energy didn’t stop there. Sylvie developed numerous proposals to strengthen the Social Media Committee, and she even coined the now-iconic hashtag #VoiceOfGSF, which has become a powerful symbol of connection and pride across our global network.
In addition, she provided strategic oversight of our GSF Strategic Plan, refining its structure to make it more accessible, actionable, and impactful for our members.
Through her systems, Sylvie empowered others. Through her spirit, she inspired us all.
In heartfelt appreciation for her visionary leadership, creative brilliance, and extraordinary service, we are honoured to present the Voice of GSF Award to Sylvie di Giusto.
