HI—I’m
TUCKER Bryant.
I’m a poet and keynote speaker.
I spent around a decade studying and working alongside innovation giants at Stanford and Google by day and writing and performing poems in my free time.
But what I saw in Silicon Valley surprised me.
In time, I noticed that even for those at cutting-edge institutions, the allure of routine often hampers our ability to imagine and pursue new, different, and better realities for our organizations and personal lives.
I also realized that this is precisely the job of a poet: to seek the questions, experiences and creative experiments that compel them to try one new thing with their art every single day.
After years exploring the principles that has empowered poets to nurture an art form that has survived millennia, it occurred to me that those tools could serve a purpose just as powerful to high-achieving leaders who want to help their teams innovate and live the values of continuous improvement that they celebrate.
Since 2022, I’ve had the privilege of traveling the world as an innovation keynote speaker, crafting experiences that reveal how leaders can Turn the Page™ on their most pressing business and personal challenges and opportunities using the creative principles poets use to move their craft forward. My poems, which have been viewed millions of times, have been featured at live events hosted by TEDx, The New York Times, and scores of Fortune 500 companies from Switzerland to Oman. I’ve had the honor of serving as a conference keynote speaker after and alongside names like Mel Robbins, Mark Cuban, Malcolm Gladwell, and Gary Vaynerchuk.
