TOPICS: INNOVATION, CREATIVITY

As we enter the age of AI, competition is fierce, customer expectations are soaring, and the rules of the world are being rewritten in real time; we have to evolve our ways of thinking and working just as quickly to avoid being left behind. Yet despite the stakes, McKinsey reports that only 6% of leaders feel they’re fully unlocking their organizations’ potential to think originally and shape the future of their businesses. Simply put, most of us are stuck in ways of thinking and working that prevent us from moving forward.

After spending a decade with world-class innovators at Stanford and Google, Tucker Bryant discovered an unexpected perspective to help professionals break from status quo thinking and write the future with confidence: the mindset of a poet. As a nationally renowned poet, he has identified a collection of powerful principles poets have used for millennia to push past comfort zones and innovate through art—tools that offer business leaders the perspective shift needed to navigate uncertainty.

In this signature keynote experience, Tucker reveals how the Turn the Page™ principles empower leaders to unlock creativity, collaboration, and competitive advantage. Audiences leave inspired and equipped to build a culture of bold exploration and creative disruption, ensuring they drive their industries forward instead of clinging to outdated models that are bound for history.

TOPICS: INSPIRATION, COURAGE, CREATIVITY, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

In every chapter of our lives, we’re given a choice: stay on the page we know — the page of familiarity, but of unrealized potential — or turn it. For too many of us, our aspirations sit in the margins — dismissed as impractical, impossible, or premature. But what if our most actualized selves didn’t need to live in the realm of fantasy? What if our best selves are waiting on the other side of a blank page we haven’t figured out how to put our pens to?

Drawing from lessons forged at the crossroads of Silicon Valley and the stage, poet and former Googler Tucker Bryant offers a fresh lens on unlocking possibility — not just for ourselves, but for the teams and organizations we lead. In this dynamic keynote, Tucker introduces the Turn the Page™ framework: a set of poetic principles that help us rewrite what’s possible by shifting our mindset, embracing courage, and thinking creatively in the face of uncertainty.

Turn the Page™ is more than a metaphor — it’s a mindset. Through humor, story, and powerful poetic insights, attendees will learn how to break free from complacency and fear, reimagine their path with creativity and clarity, and take bold steps toward the dreams that feel “too big.” This is more than peak performance — it’s about living a life worth writing about. It’s about walking toward untapped potential, unspoken ideas, and unrealized excellence in the work you do and the life you live.

TOPICS: LEADERSHIP, INNOVATION

As the demands on leaders intensify in an age of unprecedented change, the qualities that once defined effective leadership are no longer enough. The pressures to navigate uncharted waters, inspire diverse teams, and make swift, impactful decisions have never been greater. Yet, according to a recent Gallup study, only 21% of employees strongly agree that their leaders are setting them up for success. The gap between traditional leadership methods and the needs of modern teams is widening, leaving many leaders struggling to stay relevant and effective.

Tucker Bryant, who spent years at the crossroads of innovation at places like Stanford and Google, has uncovered an unconventional approach to leadership development: the mindset of a poet. Drawing from his experience as a nationally acclaimed poet, Tucker reveals how the same creative tools that poets use to evoke emotion and inspire change can empower leaders to transcend conventional boundaries and drive their teams to new heights.

In this transformative keynote, Tucker introduces Turn the Page™ as a powerful framework for unlocking leadership potential. Attendees will leave with the insights and strategies needed to cultivate courageous leadership, inspire innovation, and guide their organizations with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience in today’s ever-changing landscape.
