Speaking Engagements

Bryce Dallas Howard brings decades of experience in the entertainment industry to her insights about navigating emerging technologies and bringing creativity and collaboration to all areas of life.

Coming off the success of her main stage TED conference speech (named one of “the most newsworthy ideas of 2022”), Bryce is thrilled to share more of her adventures and lessons as a third-generation entertainer and as a working mom — from overcoming postpartum depression and public body shaming, to raising a family in the digital age, to running from dinosaurs in Jurassic World and directing Baby Yoda on the set of The Mandalorian.

As an educator and speaker, Bryce taught the Nine Muses Lab as part of the faculty at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. In addition to her weekly lectures at NYU, she has also spoken at the SXSW EDU 2020, Harvard University, New York University Tisch Salute, DGA Awards, AFI Fest, and the Environmental Media Association Honors. Bryce is celebrated for her ability to connect with audiences as a speaker (in-person or remotely) through fireside chats, keynotes, Q&As, and inspirational speeches.

Bryce’s motivational and energizing keynotes encompass messages about teamwork, women in leadership, building resilience, social media in the twenty-first century, the tradition of apprenticeship and mentors, and more.

Today, Howard occupies a prime position in the industry: well-liked and powerful enough to be able to speak frankly about the challenges of being a woman in Hollywood.
— Sarah Horne Grose, "Alexa Magazine"
Howard radiates a genteel essence: When you’re with her, you feel nurtured. She actively listens when you talk. You know this because... you can see her processing your words and formulating a response that’s both thoughtful and one she deems worthy of the conversation. When you’re in Bryce Dallas Howard’s company, it feels like it’s the only place in the world she wants to be at that very moment. Because, perhaps, Howard doesn’t want anyone to feel ignored.

Bryce is someone who understands how to strip away the hierarchy of teacher and student and allow for energy to flow in a way that is mutually beneficial. She does that so well without ego and lets us be. Together.
— Student, Nine Muses Lab
Bryce humanized this industry in a way I didn’t realize — a way that made me want to work in this industry and do it sustainably.
— Student, Nine Muses Lab
Bryce is a passionate, present, and giving teacher. She gives feedback with radical honesty and unfiltered advice on her personal experiences navigating the industry as a hyphenate.
— Student, Nine Muses Lab
Bryce is simultaneously a warm hug and a shove off a cliff. As a teacher she will absolutely nurture and support you by sharing great advice, tools, humor and practical sh*t no one thinks to talk about. But she will also throw you into the deep end and force you to grow and stretch in ways you didn’t think possible. She’s not afraid to throw down the gauntlet because she knows you will pick it up! The difference between Bryce and other teachers is that Bryce really believes in her students. Words that come to mind: Authentic, Warm, Fierce, Funny, Determined, Gets-shit-done.
