What would you do if you were even braver?

In our competitive, ever-changing work environment, you have to be more than agile if you want to stand out and succeed. You have to be brave. Brave enough to change before you feel ready, to get messy, to fail. Brave enough to bring all of who you are to all of what you do.

In this empowering talk, we’ll explore the barriers that may be holding you back, and how to bust through them. You’ll learn why it’s time to stop chasing more gold stars, and own your unique brilliance. And you'll discover strategies to help you increase your visibility, get into action, and unleash your leadership potential.

The Poet's Keys: The Artist's Guide to Unlocking Innovation
The last few years have been a merciless reminder to businesses that complacency will ruin us. And yet, despite the challenges that our rapidly evolving world poses, McKinsey finds that only 6% of leaders feel tapped into their potential to drive positive change as innovators. 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 a handful of tools poets have relied on for millennia to innovate through language - tools that enable business leaders to drive disruption in the work we do. In this keynote performance, Tucker will reveal how The Poet’s Keys™ empower leaders to unlock creativity, collaboration, and competitive advantage in the areas of our work that matter most. Attendees will leave empowered to build a culture of creative disruption and bold exploration in the work we do so we’re set up to shape our organizations as industry leaders instead of remaining stuck in models of thinking that are bound for obsolescence.
