Didier Sylvain is a multidisciplinary executive coach, facilitator, somatic practitioner, writer, and musician. Through his work, he helps leaders, creators, healers, and communities bring their full power forward without burning out or selling out. He is the founder of The Presence Project and the author of The Dopeness Dictionary, a forthcoming field guide for practicing transformation.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience, Didier has designed and facilitated retreats, offsites, leadership programs, and immersive learning experiences for organizations including The New York Times, NBA Foundation, Lionsgate, WME Group, and Esalen Institute. A former Deloitte consultant and Coro Fellow, he has taught leadership at Carnegie Mellon University and brings a practitioner’s lens to both inner development and organizational life.

Alongside his leadership work, Didier trained in somatic practice through the Strozzi Institute, pursued graduate studies in eEthnomusicology at Columbia University, studies tai chi and calligraphy, and creates music as a multi-instrumentalist and producer. His work is shaped by a deep belief that healing, leadership, and creativity are not separate paths, but expressions of the same movement toward wholeness and aliveness.
