Voices from Sylvia's Audiences
"Sylvia spoke at our yearly VIP executive-client-summit. She ran like a cave girl swinging her Neanderthal club onto the stage while addressing the audience’s brain reactions to the previously discussed content. You should have seen everyone’s faces! Priceless and unforgettable! In just ten minutes she managed to get to the core of the content our summit was addressing.
Sylvia is brilliant at conveying complex scientific matters in a fun memorable way. We already booked her again. If you want a unique combination between intelligence, passion, and courage Sylvia is the right choice. On top of everything she is authentic and very empathic, always having the client's perspective in mind."

"Sylvia Becker-Hill was one of our inaugural SUE Talks presenters. Sylvia captured the audience with her stunning entrance as Cleopatra as well as her transition to the little German girl from her childhood.
Her message about our egos is one that every woman can identify with. She masterfully combined neuroscience, women’s history and leadership lessons into a phenomenal 12-minute talk!"

"Let me tell you, I started my work yesterday at 8 am in the morning. I had a full day of work and we had the webinar from 6 to 8 pm in the evening. When the webinar was over, I joined my husband with a glass of wine. He said that I must be totally exhausted by now. I realized that this was not the case at all. Intentional Creativity brought so much energy to me, my body and my mind. Absolutely incredible the process you guided us through on Zoom! Thank you."

"Our Summer University ran in a collaboration with the Munich BusinessSchool. We had a very diverse line-up of speakers: HR professionals, consultants, corporate change agents, and academics. Sylvia had time-wise a challenging spot: right after lunch and a morning full of intense long power-point presentations which had taken their toll on some of the guests in the audience. Yet ‘nodding-off’ was no option with Sylvia Becker-Hill as our international special guest speaker. Dressed in a raincoat and masked with big sunglasses she stormed the stage.
Playing the ‘ICF-Police’ Sylvia yelled in staccato provocative ideas which made the minds burn with curiosity. Without anyone knowing she had enrolled a few guests into participation and had them prepared upfront. While Sylvia was speaking, one after the other they came following a cue from her on stage pulling paper bags with case-study names over their head mimicking different executive types struggling with different issues. An image no one can forget.
Sylvia’s style was extremely unusual for our audience: very entertaining while connecting research from a very broad spectrum of disciplines in an educational manner. Everyone I spoke to wanted more of her!"

She is a master of using emotional intelligence to pick up on subtle cues to identify each person’s need and responds with empathy, compassion, candor, and words of inspiration.
Sylvia engages her audience with unique activities that leave participants with a memorable experience as she reinforces key points. Her guidance helps individuals set direction, clarify goals, and feel confident to accomplish them."

"Sylvia Becker-Hill has been a wonderful guest speaker five times at our German Professional Women's Association club meetings since 2007. Sylvia always created a fresh, new, customized program for each session or workshop ranging between 60 to 90 minutes in length for each of the 5 meetings. These sessions/workshops were educational, relevant, and empowering for our membership and the leadership team of GPWA.
We love that she puts her teaching methods into a science-based framework while making the content easy to understand and the delivery highly interactive and fun. When Sylvia speaks, there is a lot of laughter, verbal exchange, positive energy flow, and physical movement happening amongst the members and in the room. She always brought interesting props when she speaks.
Sylvia's process triggered a lot of insightfulness and motivation to step out of one’s comfort zone in order to explore bigger and more challenging opportunities. Her keynotes are truly intense and mesmerizing. Our members are still talking and reflecting about all they have learned in Sylvia's workshops and sessions. We are looking forward to having Sylvia speak again in the near future."

Sylvia's Reflections on Speaking
"A successful keynote happens in my eyes when the audience and I 'click'. When we start to dance together, weaving ideas and engagement back and forth into a beautiful tapestry of the human spirit."
"It is a paradox: I prepare and train intensively and then I let it all go and just be present to the moment and to what the audience's listening pulls out from me."
"Being a public speaker is a huge honor and joy. And a lot of work. It's like ballet: The ballerina seems to be weightlessly flying over the stage. No one sees the grueling training hours, the muscle pains, and the bleeding toes. Only her smile is visible."
"It is a co-creation. Between the audience, I, and the creative muse speaking through me to all of us."
