THE POET’S KEYS

Keynote experiences crafted to unlock the creative thinking that drives lasting growth.

HI, I’m
TUCKER Bryant.

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 posture that has empowered poets to nurture an art form that has survived millennia, it occurred to me that the tools poets apply to their art could serve a purpose just as powerful to high-achieving professionals who want to live the values of innovation and continuous improvement that they celebrate.

Since 2022, I’ve had the privilege of traveling the world to create keynote experiences that reveal how professionals can unlock innovation, personal growth, and all forms of change using The Poet’s Keys. 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 organizations Fortune 500 companies from Switzerland to Oman. I’ve had the honor of keynoting after and alongside names like Mel Robbins, Mark Cuban, Malcolm Gladwell, and Gary Vaynerchuk.
