A Comedy Keynote for the Human Side of the Future. What happens when an award-winning stand-up comedian and an artificial intelligence expert take the stage together? You get a keynote experience like no other, one that’s insightful, hilarious, and refreshingly human. In an era dominated by automation, chatbots, and “prompt engineering,” most people are either overwhelmed by AI or bored to tears by how it's presented. This collaborative performance disrupts the norm by turning AI education into a captivating act of storytelling, satire, and comedic timing, without compromising credibility or technical integrity. One is an AI expert. The other is a professional joke machine. Together, Johan Steyn and Hannes Brümmer deliver an experience that’s equal parts brainy and bonkers, a live keynote that blends cutting-edge insights with proper comic timing. This is not a TED Talk. It’s not a corporate comedy roast. It’s something altogether new: a high-energy, 40–60 minute show that sneaks real learning into real laughter. Expect sharp takes on the future of work, human–machine interaction, ethical dilemmas, and digital transformation, delivered with skits, improv, storytelling, and unscripted banter. Whether you’re in the C-suite or the back row with the interns, you'll walk away both entertained and informed, and possibly a little suspicious of your smart fridge. Perfect For: ● Year-end functions & gala dinners ● Corporate breakaways & team-building retreats ● Conferences & innovation summits ● Strategy off-sites & leadership events ● Customer experience activations ● Internal learning & development sessions

Discover top public speakers and motivational speakers to inspire and engage your guests. Book the perfect speaker for your event today < Back Katja Ratcliffe ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit Event details Western Cape Katja Ratcliffe is the founder of Blume, a wellness company rooted in the belief that true personal growth comes from small, consistent steps. A lifelong explorer, both of the world and the human experience, Katja’s journey has been one of transformation: from decoding systems in the tech world to empowering people to decode their own behaviour and mindset. With a degree in Computer Science from the University of Cape Town, Katja began her career as a programmer in the financial sector. But a transformative six-month journey through Southern Africa in 1995 awakened a deeper calling, to understand not machines, but the complex human systems of thought, emotion, and behaviour. She shifted focus, pursuing a postgraduate qualification in applied psychology and additional training in coaching, systems thinking, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and somatic experience. Over the past 25 years, Katja has worked extensively as a personal coach, facilitator, and leadership consultant, helping teams and individuals in organisations cultivate awareness, accountability, collaboration, and emotional resilience. At the heart of Katja’s work is a belief in the power of habit. Lasting change is not achieved through information alone, but through rhythm, reflection and action. This sparked the creation of the Habit Packs, a practical tool that bridges the gap between knowing better and doing better, turning intention into practice, one small habit at a time.
