The future doesn't need less human intelligence. It needs more Original Intelligence.
Keynotes and talks on culture, leadership, human potential and not losing our O.I. in an AI world, for schools, companies and communities.
Original Intelligence is the human advantage
Original Intelligence (O.I.) is our natural, given ability to create, find answers, question, build and shape our lives through the gifts that make us uniquely human.
Every student, employee and leader has it. Most have never been asked to use it on purpose.
Prompt yourself first
- What do I think?
- What do I feel?
- What do I believe?
- What am I missing?
Then bring in help from a mentor, a teammate, a book or a tool. Then come back to yourself. Rinse. Repeat.

The room is the proof
More than 5,000 events: arena stages, ballrooms, boardrooms and living rooms across the world. Rooms of ten thousand and rooms of ten get the same Tony. He gets loud, he gets funny, and somewhere around minute twenty the posture in the room changes.
Three decades of building people
Tony Lucero has spent his career building people, not just organizations. He has led direct sales teams past 80,000 members, guided more than $390 million in sales and coached founders, executives and field leaders through the moments where belief holds or breaks.
He is an author, a hypnosis practitioner and a U.S. veteran. That combination is why his message lands differently. Whatever the audience, the question is the same: what becomes possible when we use the gifts only humans have?
What organizers say
Tony's talk was authentic, extremely engaging and resonated well with the audience. It was the perfect combination of inspiring and motivational! He touched on his childhood trauma and how he would not let that dictate his future. His content included powerful success strategies, some inspirational experience and threw in a little humor. I would recommend Tony to any of your events, regardless of your audience. He will tailor his talk to fit your needs!Jill Kuzelka, Prevention Coalition Lead and Opioid Crisis Response Team Leader
