In a world ruled by logic, metrics, and meeting fatigue, true innovation often gets lost in translation - strategy stalls.
​​
Creativity dries up - teams think harder - but not smarter.  The boardroom bard seeks to change that

Ready to Rethink How You Think?

​

If your team is stuck in the same room with the same ideas, it’s time to bring in The Boardroom Bard — and start seeing what you’ve been missing.

The Boardroom Bard 

 

Poetry That Moves the Corporate Mind

Dismantle mental blockages

Poetry is not the opposite of logic - it’s what happens when logic runs out of road.

Spark original ideas your team will never otherwise consider

 

It’s a new approach to problem-solving for corporate minds.
Engage in poetic performance, bespoke workshops, and creative strategy sessions.

I’m Sarah Tucker — best-selling novelist, multi award-winning journalist, and broadcaster. My career has taken me from live newsrooms to bestseller lists, but I’ve always believed in one thing:

When language changes, thinking changes.

My work as The Boardroom Bard is inspired by the lateral thinking of Edward de Bono, and built on decades of experience in storytelling, communication, and idea generation.

I bridge creativity with strategy — helping corporate teams move from the obvious to the original, using words that shift minds and stir action.  Find out more about Edward De Bono and click on this link de Bono

What I offer

​

  • Live Performances & Keynotes
    Wake up the boardroom with spoken word that challenges and inspires

  • Workshops for Teams & Leaders
    Interactive sessions that teach lateral thinking through poetic provocation

  • Custom Commissions & Strategy Pieces
    Strategic storytelling, vision-setting, and internal messaging through crafted verse

This is not about art for art’s sake. It’s about using poetic language as a catalyst for critical thinking.

 

Using the power of poetry, I help linear thinkers break out of old patterns and unlock fresh,

lateral ideas - the kind that lead to faster solutions, sharper insights,

and unexpected breakthroughs.
