Three Decades Behind the Lens
Steve started in photography over 30 years ago as an assistant to the editor of National Geographic and a member of their photographic staff. That experience taught him to see the world differently, to find extraordinary stories in ordinary moments, and to bring passion, perspective, and preparation to every assignment. He went on to become one of the most sought-after commercial photographers in the country.
Making Any Project an Adventure
Using his striking photographs as illustrations, Steve shows audiences how to cultivate the mindset that sees possibility where others see obstacles. His presentations transform how people approach their work, encouraging them to bring the same creative intensity to a business challenge that a photographer brings to a once-in-a-lifetime shot. His keynotes deliver visually breathtaking strategies for creative problem-solving, cultivating innovation, and building the kind of prepared, opportunity-ready mindset that drives breakthrough results.
Open Roads Open Minds
The open road never fails to open your mind. Once your mind is open, the power of your imagination is released. This formidable power knows no bounds. Steve uses his mind-stretching images as illustrations about possibility and creativity, inspiring his audiences to make any venture an adventure. Learn to put this perspective to work for you everyday – in problem solving, in the creative process, and in your life.
Steve’s approach to his photographic work serves as a universal blueprint for problem solving. His audiences not only learn to be open to solutions that can be found in unexpected places, but that preparation lays the groundwork for magic to happen. “Chance favors the prepared mind,” said Louis Pasteur. Our eyes see only what our mind is prepared to comprehend.
As a speaker Steve Uzzell’s Key Points Preparation lays the groundwork for magic to happen. Make the problem your passion. Don’t just act – anticipate. Solutions can be found in very unexpected places. Trust your intuition, then hold yourself accountable. A simple tool mastered can unite a dreamer and a dream. We become known for the problems we solve. Enjoy the ride!
