Steve Prentice: Keynote speaker, writer, voice actor, emcee

Hi, i'm Steve.

For my  whole career I have been fascinated by the way that people and technology interact, especially in the workplace, and I have a somewhat unique way of being able to explain complex technologies in ways that allow people to understand. In recent years this has meant explaining the pros and cons of AI, hybrid workspaces, and cybersecurity. 

As a keynote speaker, my goal is to deliver comfort. My keynotes on leadership, technology, and change use energetic storytelling, along with clear explanations to encourage understanding and engagement. When people become comfortable with the ideas, they then start to generate motivation naturally. 

As an emcee I help other organizations run their events and conferences smoothly and intelligently. 

I am the founder of, and now partner in The Bristall Company, which, for 30 has taught busy people the skills they need to work at their best.  Academically, I am a specialist in organizational psychology, with a focus on how humans learn, how they manage change, and the physiology behind it all. I have worked with a wide range of organizations over my career, helping to establish best practices for workplace productivity and employee retention. This includes governments, major banks, and tech titans including Cisco, SAP, and Thales.  

My love of words has allowed me to become a published author. I have books, published by John Wiley & Sons and Apress, that cover the impact of fear on digital transformation, time management, stress management, and project management. I have also ghostwritten books, eBooks and articles for others.   

I am also a visiting lecturer at Ontario Tech University, where I teach courses in management excellence, workplace innovation, change management and AI strategy for leaders and managers - courses that I have developed, based on my work, experience and research. I write, produce and narrate the Monday and Friday editions of  Cybersecurity Headlines, as well as the CloudTweaks podcast series, and the award winning Thales Security Sessions podcast.  And of course, my own podcast, CoolTimeLife, which focuses on issues dealing with people, technology work and life. You can find it at CoolTimeLife.com or subscribe on your preferred podcast platform.
