Lecyca Curiel started researching Gen Z and public speaking at seventeen years old. Yeah, pretty brave, right? Now she’s all about challenging lazy stereotypes, making sense of Gen Z for the rest of us, and building real connections between generations in the workplace. Lecyca’s roots trace back to a deep curiosity about identity and cultural dynamics, shaped by her own ancestral history. It’s not just a passion – it’s her purpose.
At 17, Lecyca Curiel started a mission that would not only shape her career but also the conversation around Gen Z in the workplace. Discovered by Thimon de Jong, a keynote speaking visionary, Lecyca’s journey from curious teenager to Generation Z keynote speaker is a testament to her hard work and insight. As a representative of her own generation, she brings genuine human interest, authentic perspective and lived experience to every stage she steps on, offering a voice for the next generation.
Lecyca’s work with WHETSTON/strategic foresight has made her the go-to expert on Generation Z in the corporate world. Her talks are deep and charming, designed to foster intergenerational collaboration and trample generational stereotypes—bridging seemingly different worlds through shared insight—which has wowed audiences from Walmart executives to Google’s marketing gurus. Lecyca Curiel is a favourite among keynote speakers, especially for her ability to highlight the power of cultural diversity in modern organisations.
As an anthropologist and documentary filmmaker, Lecyca travels the world from Silicon Valley to Ljubljana’s old town. Her work on representing inclusive intergenerational collaboration has not only informed her keynotes as an international keynote speaker but also uncovered the many stories of people working across age divides to build a more inclusive society, contributing to a broader international think on diversity and collaboration.
Lecyca’s keynotes are not just presentations; they are a mix of academic research and actionable strategies. She ensures leaders are equipped to tackle the challenges of today by fostering mutual understanding across generations and perspectives. Her storytelling often reflects how ancestral history translates into contemporary insights, enriching her message with depth and relevance.
