Garrison Wynn
Manufacturing, Finances & Sales
At Wynn Solutions, we’ll help you make that jump from being really good at what you do to being consistently chosen to do it.
We believe that long-term business success requires more than just talent. It requires strong, enduring business relationships and the ability to successfully manage client and employee expectations.
Achieving your goals requires a special blend of talent, ambition and—above all—the ability to promote yourself to the decision makers who matter.
Through customized services, including guest speakers and employee training programs we provide individuals and organizations with the tools they need to create and sustain successful business relationships.
As Garrison Wynn says, "If the world agreed on what's best, everybody would choose the best and nothing else would be considered. Decision making doesn't work that way." Garrison helps people understand the difference between being great at what they do and being consistently chosen to do it. His unforgettable keynotes are packed with practical insights based on years of intensive research into what really sets top performers apart.
EXPERIENCE:
Garrison has presented to some of the world's most effective leaders, educators, and business developers, from multibillion-dollar manufacturers and national associations to top New York Stock Exchange wire houses. He has a background in manufacturing, telecomm, and financial services and toured as a professional stand-up comedian. In his teens, Garrison worked with Magnavox and baseball legend Hank Aaron to promote the world's first video gaming system, and by age 27 he became the youngest department head in a Fortune 500 company's history. He researched and designed processes for 38 locations nationwide and developed and marketed products still being sold in 30 countries. He is the author of the book The REAL Truth About Success, contributes weekly to The Washington Post, and has coauthored with Stephen Covey. His books, articles, and award-winning success tools receive high praise, but his greatest strength is a magnetic live performance that keeps him in high demand, with more than 600 inquiries and 100 speaking dates per year.
INSIGHT:
Garrison delivers powerful, original content built on breakthrough research customized for your organization. His diverse background - from ditch digging (we're not kidding!) to executive leadership, with sales, marketing, safety, manufacturing, and show biz in between - means that no industry or work experience is beyond Garrison's reach: He can engage the CEO and janitor in the same audience with a consistent, relevant message.
IMPACT:
Garrison delivers research-based success and motivational tools your group can apply immediately to boost personal influence. Armed with years of experience as a professional comedian and speaking at thousands of conventions over the years, he is a high-impact presenter whose motivational programs answer two big questions: How do you get people to do what you want them to do, and how do you get them to see the value of what you offer?
Garrison's top-selling book, published by McGraw-Hill and available in bookstores worldwide (including a new edition in Chinese), blends a decade of research and Garrison's candid, laugh-out-loud delivery to finally spill The REAL Truth About Success. Refreshingly honest about what it takes to get to the top, this book helps boost your rate of success using resources you already have and without reinventing yourself.

The Truth about Success TM
Being the Best vs. Being Consistently Chosen
Success is more than being good at what you do; it's about being consistently chosen to do it. Garrison helps people to understand why their products, services, or leadership styles-or those of their competitors-are selected. People don't necessarily choose what's best; they choose what they are most comfortable with, whether it's the best or not. We've all heard the importance of "best practices" and superior knowledge, so why aren't the smartest people with the most information always in charge or number one in their field? This keynote provides original research on managing expectations and emotions and shows that there really is more to success than being the best.
Available in Sales, Leadership and Customer Service versions

The Real Truth about Success

A decade of Wynn Solutions research reveals what makes owners and managers of top-performing businesses so effective - and it's not what you'd expect! If you enter this keynote session expecting to learn all about best practices and superior products, you'd better read the title again.
Standout success in a difficult economy often comes from personal advantage - whether it's cosmetic, leadership communication, personality, resources or access to privileged information.

What the Most Influential Educators Have in Common
Beyond Knowledge
Give students knowledge and they'll pass the exam, the course, the grade ... but teach them to think and you've equipped them with a powerful tool to carry them through life. The best educators share one strong belief: We don't want to just transfer our ideas onto students; we want to enable them to generate their own ideas and solutions. This entertaining, insightful research-based keynote examines the need to strike that tricky balance between teaching so students make the grade and teaching so they make it in life. Faculty and administrators must be on the same page regarding what that balance looks like and how it fits into the organization's mission. To get there, they'll need the kind of influence it takes to get buy-in from busy peers, as well as the attention of time-pressed, socially stressed students.
Making the Most of Difficult Situations
Changes and Challenges
Sometimes your most headstrong students possess the greatest talent. Sometimes the most demanding organizations to work with provide your greatest source of funding. And sometimes your most difficult colleagues are the least relevant in the classroom but the most significant in academia.
Changes and challenges abound in education today. To survive them, faculty and administrators need influence and unity more than anything else. Without these, you'll struggle to navigate through difficult situations without compromising the extraordinary education you deliver to students.
With characteristic wit, research and keen insight, Garrison Wynn explains how top educators build their influence so they can create and maintain unity in challenging times. He also offers practical pointers for dealing with the difficult personalities educators must contend with. Wynn's understanding of how to be influential, especially in tough times, helps your organization move past fractious people and problems to retain unity and focus.
Attract, Manage, Motivate and Keep Younger Workers
Some employers struggle to attract talented workers under age 30, and still more find it challenging to get these Generation Y employees to achieve its best. Then, just when managers stumble upon methods that seem to motivate, they leave for more attentive management elsewhere. Wynn Solution's new, research-based program reveals what type of business image and work environment will entice the best young workers, which modern management techniques will keep them motivated, and which incentives will keep them from defecting.
