Steve Prentice Technology/Future of Work Writer. Speaker. Voice.
Hi, i'm Steve
I wear a few hats. In my case, these hats have a common thread, which is about people and work. I have built up substantial expertise in my careers in the areas where people and technology interact. That's why I am repeatedly called upon to speak or write about technology issues such as cybersecurity, remote work, virtual reality, and of course, the impact of AI and Generative AI on your business and your job. I am also passionate about people. I am partner in The Bristall Company, which I founded in 1994 to help people survive and thrive in a world of technology and work.
But I am a performer at heart. That is why I am a keynote speaker and have also been a performing musician since the age of sixteen. I continue to do both of these things, as well as performing as a voice actor, delivering narration for podcasts and videos, and as a musician, performing solo and in a well-established band for corporate events and festivals.
I am a specialist in organizational psychology, with a focus on how humans learn how to interact with each other and with technology in the workplace, in person and remotely as individuals, team members and/or leaders. I worked with a wide range of organizations over my career, helping to establish best practices for workplace productivity and employee retention. I have worked with governments, major banks, tech titans like Cisco and SAP, and also with individuals.
My love of words has allowed me to become a published author, not only for my own books, but as a ghostwriter for others, who have a book, a blog, or an article inside them but not the time to produce it. 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, a new university already enjoying an enviable reputation as a future faced, high-tech, and socially responsible institution. I teach courses in management excellence, workplace innovation and change management - courses that I have developed and which are based on my work.
In addition to my books, I have a podcast, CoolTimeLife, and I host the Monday and Friday editions of CISO Series Cybersecurity Headlines, the CloudTweaks podcast series, and the Thales Security Sessions podcast . I produce the podcast series of leadership expert Roz Usheroff, as well as the weekly cybersecurity webinar/podast, Cyber Security Headlines Week in Review.
There's so much we can do together to attain the optimum in productivity and work-life balance.
