As an entrepreneur, innovation strategist, and nationally renowned poet, Tucker Byant helps organizations unleash their creativity and unlock innovation.
What Tucker Bryant learned during a decade spent between Stanford and Google surprised him: even people on the cutting edge of innovation often struggle to take risks. The truth is that we all want to step out of our comfort zones. But our comfort is so deep-seated that we aren’t aware it’s influencing us. As a result, our instinct to protect that unconscious comfort suffocates our creativity, disengages us from our work, and stunts our ability to lead.
As a nationally renowned poet and storyteller, Tucker’s experience in Silicon Valley has driven him to pursue the answer to one question: How can we tear down the comfort zones that keep businesses from being their best? He is well-known for his keynote and motivational speaking. Organizations hire Tucker Bryant for corporate and private events.

Creativity and corporate work are a lot more intertwined than we think. In fact, creativity and business acumen are best described as a two-way street. Just think about where you can go if you learn to drive on both sides of the road.
Tucker Bryant first started writing poetry at Stanford University. While this passion consumed most of his free time, by the end of college poetry took a backseat to earning a living. After graduating from Stanford, Tucker became a Lead Product Marketing Manager at Google. However, Tucker slowly realized that even at cutting-edge companies like Google, people are severely hampered by routine. Poetry didn’t re-enter the picture until Google leadership found Tucker’s old performances and asked him to share his experience. Then it clicked.
The creative tools poets have relied on for millennia have the potential to drive innovative leadership in the corporate world. Following a decade in Silicon Valley, Tucker left Google to challenge leaders to unlock creativity, collaboration, and competitive advantage using The Poet’s Keys™.
Tucker isn’t trying to turn you into a poet, though you may be more interested after his keynote. He wants to help you become more creative, innovative, and disruptive by shifting the way you approach your work.
His performances have garnered millions of views online, been showcased at TEDx, and featured by The New York Times and dozens of other organizations across the globe. He has had the privilege of sharing stages alongside Mark Cuban, Bill Belichick, Gary Vaynerchuk, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and Mel Robbins as well as governors and executives from scores of Fortune 500 companies.

The last few years have been a relentless reminder that complacency will ruin us. Our competition is ferocious, customers expect more than ever from us, and the world is constantly one disruption away from shaking the very foundations of our successes.
We now have to live on the razor’s edge to even stand a chance of not being left in the dust. Yet, despite the challenges that these cataclysmic changes pose, McKinsey has found that only 6% of leaders feel fully tapped into their teams’ potential to become original thinkers who take an active role in the future of their business.
After spending a decade alongside world-class innovators at institutions like Stanford and Google, Tucker Bryant has discovered an unexpected perspective professionals can adopt to confront the future with confidence – the outlook of a poet. As a nationally renowned poet, Tucker has identified five powerful tools poets have relied on for millennia to unshackle themselves from their comfort zones and innovate through language – tools that offer business leaders the expanded perspective needed to weather tomorrow.
In this signature keynote performance, Tucker reveals how The Poet’s Keys™ empower leaders to unlock the doors to enhanced creativity, collaboration, and competitive advantage. Audiences are equipped with the tools to build a culture of creative disruption and bold exploration in every arena of their organizations. By the end of this keynote, you will be setto shape your business landscape as an industry leader instead of remaining stuck in models of thinking bound for obsolescence.
I was literally working to book Tucker for our next event before he could leave. – Tim Kopp, CEO, Terminus Software
His energy and kindness to me, to my staff, and to our attendees was simply one of a kind. That alone is rare. And then he came on stage as our opening talk and was truly genius. His lessons seemed simple on the surface but were incredibly profound. He actually took the time to prepare and adjust his talk to my audience. You could tell he actually thought about my people and incorporated that into his talk. His delivery is second to none. His use of space and pauses and tone and cadence. Wow. His poetry is beautiful, it has depth, shadow, and light. It takes you places inside yourself you did not know were there. – LowCountry Mental Health Conference
The most impactful, most deeply touching and meaningful hour l’ve ever spent at a conference. – Mark Brezinski, CEO, Bizzy LLC
Brought us to tears and led our execs to an idea we can’t wait to implement. I was floored. – John Rivers, CEO, 4Rivers Smokehouse
