Bold creativity and success are an inseparable combination, according to award winning photographer and writer Christopher Springmann.

This world renowned media star says we needn't be afraid to explore our surroundings or leave our fingerprints on the world.

In an ON Business magazine article, he warned, "your desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world. Inspiration from the culture-at-large frequently occurs away from the office. Walking into a skateboard shop or foreign bookstore, with no intention of buying, promotes creative connections and linkages, look-and-learn experiences that generate into inspiration. You're always 'on,' even when you're off the job site."

Springmann uses his years of creative experiences - his collection of photographs -- to paint word pictures of passion and perseverance, revealing powerful insights into facing life's challenges. Through his presentation, he shows audiences how to make the same qualities work for them.

Among the messages Springmann leaves with his audience are: "Open your eyes - every solution you create is a 'product' you can use" and "believe in yourself as the driving force that delivers achievement."
