Do Different Things Differently: Breakthrough Ideas for Better Results
Topics: Innovation, Creativity, Disruption
In today’s AI-accelerated world, competition is fierce, expectations are rising, and business models are being rewritten in real time. Yet despite the urgency to evolve, most teams remain stuck in old habits and familiar thinking. In fact, McKinsey finds that only 6% of leaders believe they’re fully unlocking original thinking inside their organizations.
Tucker Bryant offers a surprising solution: the tools of a poet. After a decade in Silicon Valley innovating at scale and applying those lessons to reimagine the art of poetry as an interactive and immersive experience, Tucker reveals how poets and artists break from comfort, transform uncertainty into possibility, and use creative constraint to fuel breakthrough ideas.

Do Different things Differently: From Comfort to Calling
Topics: Inspiration, Motivation, Personal Development
Every day, we choose between what’s comfortable and what’s possible. Too often, bold ideas never move beyond intention—not because we lack time, resources, or talent, but because we underestimate our capacity to become and create.
Blending insights from his decade in Silicon Valley with the creative mindset of a poet, Tucker Bryant reveals how doing different things differently can move us from hesitation to action. Poets make a living exploring uncharted territory, transforming uncertainty into discovery, and finding possibility where others see limits. Their methods—curiosity, play, iteration, and bold experimentation—can help anyone reignite drive and reimagine what’s achievable.
Through humor, story, and live demonstration, Tucker invites audiences to trade perfectionism for progress and fear for curiosity. The result is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t come from doing the same things in the same way—it comes from Doing Different Things Differently.

Strategies to move ideas from imagination to execution—even without perfect conditionsTools to replace perfectionism and fear with curiosity and momentumCreative habits that spark motivation, energy, and resilienceA mindset that uses uncertainty as fuel rather than frictionA renewed sense of confidence, courage, and personal agency
Do Different Things Differently: Leading THE Charge for Change
Topics: Leadership, innovation
In an age of constant transformation, the best leaders aren’t the ones with all the answers—they’re the ones asking better questions. Yet with markets shifting and teams diversifying, traditional leadership methods are falling short. According to Gallup, only 21% of employees strongly agree their leaders set them up for success.
Drawing from his experience at the intersection of art and innovation, Tucker Bryant shows how the creative mindset that drives poets can also unlock modern leadership. Poets navigate ambiguity, connect emotion to action, and uncover insights through exploration—all qualities that today’s most effective leaders need to inspire innovation and resilience in their teams.
