They absolutely loved you! Captivating yet influential and motivational, Garrison far exceeded expectations and was exactly the type of keynote speaker we were hoping for - still being talked about months later.

Garrison was everything we asked for in a keynote speaker and more. Not only did he engaged and energized the crowd; he got a standing ovation and connected with them on their level. He delivered a laughter-filled keynote address with a powerful message. I loved the way he spoke to every meaningful objective and brought new material that was relevant to the event. Fantastic! Couldn’t be happier.

Intel
Excellent talk! Enjoyed your sense of humor, energy, and the quick stories that drove the points home. You did a great job weaving in those Intel specific points!
Mass Mutual
Garrison recently spoke at our MassMutual Academy for almost 800 Financial Advisors in Phoenix, AZ. Garrison’s energy, passion, endurance and connection with the audience was beyond impressive. His message was relatable and his humor kept the audience’s attention for the entire presentation. He was the perfect choice for a closing speaker after a 4 day learning conference for our group. From the moment he came into the room to the moment he left the conference his focus was on our attendees and his professionalism did not go unnoticed. Our attendees left his presentation energized and excited about his message and his performance. We have already received a tremendous amount of positive feedback on Garrison’s presentation and many General Agents want to hire him for agency presentations. Garrison hit it out of the park!
Governor's Occupational Safety & Health Conference
Garrison was absolutely fantastic and engaging. His incredible energy was infectious! His message completely hit home with exactly what our conference is about — safety, training, and leadership. We look forward to bringing him back!
Spectranetics
We invited Garrison to join our sales team at the end of a long second day of training. He did his homework to understand his audience and had them from the start. To win over a cynical "seen it all" group such as this and hold their attention, spark interaction and elicit genuine laughter - all while making excellent points about relationships and the value of self-perception - was amazing to watch. When the final speaker of the day said, "As Garrison told us …" I knew we'd made a great choice and a lasting impact. Post-event surveys said it was the best sales meeting we'd ever had.
Long Beach Unified School District
It was a pleasure having you at LBUSD. Our event was a total success, thanks to you!

Arvest Wealth Management
Awesome! Insightful data fused with humor was a nice touch. It was great to end the day with
laughter.
Eastern Florida State College
Garrison’s presentation style, simply put, is remarkable. His ability to use humor allowed the inherent message of the importance of needing to adjust and adapt to change, a much more understandable and palatable endeavor. His ability to engage the audience is a testimonial to his talents. We have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from the faculty- many chiding their take-aways from his talk; appreciation for the presentation; and the enjoyment of listening to Garrison’s performance. We would, without reservation, highly recommend Garrison to speak at your college or organization.

I just wanted to take a quick moment to share how wonderful it was to meet and work with Garrison. He was a true professional from the beginning to the end. If I were asked to pick a handful of words to describe him I immediately think of: flexible, accommodating, friendly, professional, quick-witted, intuitive, and hilarious. He was extremely thorough in asking questions and very in tune to the topic of the meeting. He tailored a message that was spot on in the material, highly engaging and humorous in his delivery. He held the audience’s attention captive the entire time he was on stage! After working with Garrison I would strongly recommend him for any future event, either inside or outside of our company.

The audience said they could have listened to Garrison for another 90 minutes. The entire audience was so very captivated by his message and more importantly how he delivered it. We look forward to recommending Garrison for future Nexen safety events.
Fidelity
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your outstanding presentation at our conference last week. You were simply fantastic, hilarious and motivating. We’ve heard some pretty amazing feedback about you and I just wanted to share. Your name was definitely circulating after your departure and I was giving out your information like crazy. I actually still am! Just the other day, I got a call from one of our attorney’s in Richmond, VA asking about you. He said “That guy could have his own TV show!” Another manager, here in my office, who is rather regiment in her management style, confessed to me that your presentation will definitely make her speak and act differently when it comes to handling her own employees. Who said Rome wasn’t built in one day? Wow! You really made an impact.
Department of Defense

Also, as an extra bonus, he was as personable off-stage as he was on-stage. We highly recommend him!

Garrison had the group engaged the moment he was in front of them. Not only was he entertaining, he hit every message we discussed during our conference call. The group felt he knew where they were coming from and understood the difficulties and challenging people they deal with. Garrison’s sense of humor played such a great role for the group as well. We tried to make the meeting valuable, yet fun. He completely exceeded the expectations of our meeting attendees.

Subway
Funny, fast and entertaining. I was shocked at how much information I received from just the 60 minutes that Garrison spoke. His energy level was way up there, and the stories tied it all together! In my 30 years with Subway, he was one of the top three motivational speakers we have ever seen.
Arby's
Well, back in the office, and the event is being called"The Best Ever!"by our executive team. Motivational speaker Garrison Wynn is a pro's pro.He took our pre-con conference call, and unlike past presenters, was able to weave our theme and our core culture points of "Commitment - Humility - Respect" throughout it, and he did so with ease and continuity while entertaining the audience continuously.But like I said, not only did the audience enjoy him, but our executive team knew we made the right decision to put him on first . Using our past keynote presenters as reference points, they felt Garrison was indeed the best, and able to adapt his speech to our message.

Your presentation to our team allowed us to produce some of the most successful and profitable years in the history of Caterpillar. The impacts of your work are still in force today.

Garrison was the perfect speaker for our team…great information with actionable ideas provided in an engaging and funny way. Our meeting attendees were the 120+ field-level Operations and Service Managers, who directly manage our field service technicians. Garrison’s presentation about leadership and getting the most out of those you manage was spot-on. My team left the meeting energized and focused on ways to be a different leader in the coming year. I am confident Garrison helped move the needle for our managers.

I had the privilege to meet and work with Garrison Wynn, in Nashville, TN, at the annual TribalNet conference. Garrison is the definition of ENERGY and he brings it in bucket loads.

This is by far the best keynote we have ever had. This is a tough group of seasoned professionals, so our choice of motivational speaker was critical to ensure our objectives were met. You did an excellent job of addressing the specifics we identified and accomplished that with humor and grace. Getting everyone on the same page, being really funny and focusing on a repeatable process for communication was the key. Most importantly, feedback from our staff was highly positive and we have had a 23% increase in sales.

Your general session, “Making the Most of Difficult Situations: Changing Markets, Changing Times” was rated 4.92out of a possible 5.00.You got some very nice comments from your session and you definitely made the most of a difficult situation as you may recall that the air conditioner broke at the hotel during your session! Didn’t affect your evaluations at all!!
Napa Auto Parts
You have a great responsibility to select motivational speakers that will hit a home run with your audience. We were looking for two things in a keynote speaker...humorand an impactful message. Garrison did a great jobresearching our customersand making every topic he touched on relatable. His humor was right on...and his message was powerful. Selecting speakers for conferences can be an inexact science.Save yourself the time and effort and just hire him to speak at your meeting. You won't regret it.

Our audience all feel you had a good understanding of our business challenges, and were darn funny at the same time. Your presentation was the perfect mix of a serious business based message, along with a very funny and engaging delivery. The professionalism and efficiency of you and your team made my life easier. As a host of the conference, I had plenty to worry about, so it was nice to know you were well prepared and your team was available if I needed anything. I hope to have an opportunity to work with you and your team again in the future. This was truly an enjoyable experience.

(Just in case you didn’t get the message from three standing ovations our managers gave you.) You did a masterful job of helping us to laugh at ourselves.

I am not one that will usually write a letter to someone that I have heard speak, but you have changed that. I recently had the great pleasure to have had the opportunity to hear you speak at our annual sales rally held this year in Reno, Nevada. Your dynamic delivery kept me alert and involved. It was a very rewarding experience for me and is the reason for this letter. Your keynote address is inspiring, funny and one of the most entertaining I’ve ever heard. Your use of humor mixed with your real life experiences kept all that attended glued to your every word. It was a great session and beautifully presented. I have received numerous comments from attendees and they seem to agree that it was one of the best ever! Receiving a standing ovation from this group, that is quite a compliment.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say how pleased I was with your presentation during our recent National Sales Meeting. The subject matter and topics discussed were very applicable and relevant to our business environment. Your presentation and “delivery” of the material was perfect for our meeting. You were able to combine statistical information, industry standards, as well as provide helpful selling tools that will enable our staff to take our sales to the next level. Our sales team walked away with a very positive attitude, and were reminded of the traits that transform an ordinary sales person into a truly great sales person. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me just to tell me how much they enjoyed your presentation. I can tell you from experience, compliments from our sales force are very few and far between. Garrison, thank you for making our sales meeting a true success!!

Both safety awareness presentations supported our conference theme centered on the delivery of results. Again, thank you for your participation and energy in making the day a big success. We look forward to working with you in the future when opportunities arise.
USAA
Garrison did a fantastic job! We had to split our group in half and he did two one-hour programs back to back. He delivered “very customized” programs the same way with equal impact. We shot video of the sessions and sent them to be viewed by a location in Phoenix that could not attend our event. They gave the same great feed back as the groups that attended the live presentation.

Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future clients.
LMSB Natural Resources & Construction
Well Garrison, you’ve done it again! You made me look really good before another group of decision makers. The senior executives were very impressed with your presentation at our LMSB All Managers Meeting in Atlanta. Even though I was completely confident in your ability to make people “laugh all the way to learning”—I’ll never forget that remark on an evaluation—you never know how a new crowd is going to respond. As usual, I had no need to worry. As I surveyed the audience of 700 managers I saw the most straight-faced and no-nonsense members of our group shaking their heads in agreement and laughing wildly. Even the meeting evaluations they completed three days later included glowing comments about your presentation. Some expressed real determination to build relationships with their employees based on the recommendations you provided. Our group can be a tough crowd when it comes to accepting “outsiders” as presenters. This was not an issue with you. Thanks again for another great experience. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity!
DoubleTree
Garrison, Thank you so much for the fantastic programs you have provided for our management staff.

I would be pleased to recommend you as a keynote speaker to any association executive or event planner.

It was the first time anyone had ever tried to accomplish what I term as the impossible. You were extremely prepared and utilized pertinent information we discussed prior to the event. I have received nothing but rave reviews on your performance. It was a delight to get to know you and you can be certain we will use you in the future. Thank you so much for a job well done!! I would be happy to be used as a reference for any events you are planning to conduct. I’m sure all doubts or questions could quickly be alleviated from new clients after speaking to me. Best of luck in the future and may your calendar always be full. Feel free to call my cell at anytime if I can be of assistance.
Mustang Engineering
Garrison hit a home run! Everyone thought he was fabulous. Honestly, I was a little apprehensive b/c I do not like to have speakers at my events that I have not personally heard before. We were putting a lot of trust in a recommendation but what a great risk! We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback and had several requests for his contact info for industry organization events. Get ready!

We just hired 600 people and I feel ready to handle our growth.

Garrison, Our partnership has been a success! We secured the contract to provide floral services nationally and internationally for Continental Airlines. We have been working diligently. The account is developing weekly and is expected to produce 25% more in gross revenue than originally anticipated. Your assistance and insight during the bid process has proven invaluable. We couldn’t have done it without you. Wynn Solutions was definitely a “win” for Flowers & Co., Inc. Beating out three other larger and more prominent companies has been a thrill. Thanks a million for your expert advise and assistance. You can expect to hear from us and those we recommend. Glad to have you in our corner.

Mr. Wynn I just wanted to say Thank You. You will never know the impact that you have made on my life. I started back to work today with a new attitude about my job. I am more confident in myself and my ability to do my best. I do have an important job and it is important to learn how to deal with the stress that comes along with it. I feel like a new person. My husband told me that he could see an improvement in my attitude and that I looked “happy.” Thanks to you I am that new person. Please do more seminars in the Houston area.
