Steve Prentice: working in the space where people and technology collide

Hi, i'm Steve

What are your plans for rebuilding and managing a team that includes hybrid, work-from-home, and on-premises employees? Are collaboration and productivity possible in this new economy? How up-to-date are you regarding cyberhygiene techniques to avoid ransomware and breaches? Are your employees and senior management all up to speed on this? How are your people dealing with the uncertainty and unfamiliarity of change? These questions might seem to address very different topics, but what they all have in common is people - and people tend to struggle with fitting these challenges into their already busy lives.
I'm a keynote speaker. I have been delivering informative, practical, and uplifting keynotes to organizations across North America for 20 years, and have been continuing to do so virtually during the covid period. My specialty is in making complex ideas understandable and actionable, allowing teams to go back to their workplaces feeling confident and enthused - armed with real solutions and techniques that empower them to work through the changes that are happening all around us.
I speak about what I know. I work as an advisor to a number of high profile organizations including Cisco and SAP, major banks, law firms, and many other organizations. I also work closely with cybersecurity and tech industry specialists. My background in organizational psychology, project management, and law allow me to help them configure their solutions and activities to their customer base, and while I work with them, I learn from them. It is this industry knowledge that I am able to insert into my presentations.
I am also a published author, including through John Wiley & Sons and Apress. My books cover the impact of fear on digital transformation, time management, stress management, and project management. I have also ghostwritten books and eBooks for others on change, especially in the tech and cybersecurity sectors. I even have a novel, called Mouth.
I am also a visiting lecturer at Ontario Tech University, a new university that is already enjoying an enviable reputation as a future faced, high-tech, and socially responsible institution. I teach courses in management excellence based on the same concepts that I share in my keynotes. In addition to my own podcast, CoolTimeLife, I host the Monday and Friday editions of CISO Series Cybersecurity Headlines, the CloudTweaks podcast series, and I co-host the 2022 series of The Art of Management podcasts with Jack Skeels.
If you are looking for a powerful, educational and motivating speech to help your team move successfully through the changes of the new normal, let's talk.
