Keynote Topics

Olympia LePoint tells her personal inspiring story of how she overcame extreme poverty from being raised in South Central Los Angeles, and failing in school to earning her degrees in applied math and later becoming an award-winning NASA rocket scientist.

The award-winning author and TED speaker motivates audiences by sharing her 7-Step Success Strategy for people wanting to overcome adversity, discover their talents, and launch their own life into the direction for success. This motivational speech is geared for all ages, and it inspires people to reach for their own star, and succeed in their own mission.

Some people say that your past determines your future, but one rocket scientist says that you can choose the future that you want with targeted decision-making. 

With a new decision-making method called Quantum Deciding®, Olympia LePoint explains the six decisions to obtain the future that you want. She shares the method from her third book Answers Unleashed II: The Science of Attracting What You Want. Olympia LePoint and her book have been featured on NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, MSNBC News, FOX News, Yahoo News, The Doctors, Newsweek and USA Today.

LePoint helps audience members remove the six causes of indecisiveness, identify your immediate next steps toward your best future, and shows you how to multiply your resources for success.

Fear is a common emotion that everyone faces when success is just a few feet away. Your success is dependent on removing fear. Now, fear can be removed from your thinking with a 3-step method. Based on her experience supporting NASA’s Mission Control, award-winning rocket scientist and author Olympia LePoint devises a new thinking process for reprogramming the human brain to overcome fear.

With her triumphant story, Olympia LePoint answers how humans can simultaneously turn off fear and rebuild the frontal brain lobes to accomplish great feats. The ground-breaking method is based from Olympia LePoint’s first book entitled, Mathaphobia, and her viral TED talk “Reprogramming Your Brain to Overcome Fear.”

The field of computer science known as artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is devoted to the development of intelligent computers that are capable of carrying out activities that ordinarily call for human intellect. Business Intelligence, BI, is AI applied to helping companies use technology in a way that reduces work tasks. Both AI, and BI simulates human-like intelligence and decision-making.

  • How AI can fail, and stay safe
  • AI terminology
  • The history of AI
  • The laws surrounding AI and biometrics
  • How machine learning and LLMs work
  • Ways to prevent AI prejudice
  • Tactics to spot deepfake videos, GANS and use the right media forensics

The most successful way that your organization will succeed is simple: by valuing the people who think differently than you.  DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – also refers to difference in how we think.  In this talk, Olympia LePoint shares her personal story of being a woman of color at the age of 21, who stepped in to an aerospace environment, launching NASA rockets. She recalls stories of when she was half the age of her youngest co-workers, and not heard, at first.

As a young woman and person of color, she found ways to make sure she heard, and her voice helped save lives.  Her efforts won the Modern Day Technology Engineer of the Year Award.  In this talk, she hares the 3 things you need to know to develop your workforce to have award-winning results.

With the new age of AI, the questions arise:

  • how do you use artificial intelligence safely for your organization?
  • What rights do humans hold in the digital space? 
  • Can you use AI safely?
  • And in what cases can you be sued?
  • Will laws still protect people when their biometric faceprint, fingerprint and voiceprint is being sold to the highest bidder?
  • For example: Do you know how to remove your company data from being used without your consent? 

In this timely message, Olympia LePoint explains how AI works, how it can be safely used within your organization, and what safeguards you need to establish in your organization to protect employees and consumers. This talk gives you the direction on how to use AI safely, and promote digital civil rights, in the coming digital age.

In this talk, Olympia LePoint explains her experience of surviving the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, where it killed her next door neighbors. After running out of a building that was collapsing on her and her younger sisters, she survived to tell her story and was tasked with continuing her life with the flashbacks.

In this talk, Olympia LePoint explains that disasters can impact our brains, and how you think about situations afterwards.  In this talk, Olympia LePoint reveals the keys to reprograming your mind’s survival thoughts into the innovative thoughts geared to transform the rest of your life into success.
