Rave reviews would be an understatement, you are one of the best keynote speakers we have ever had at Smith Barney. I really appreciate your preprogram research and funny to-the-point delivery. Let's try to match schedules for multiple dates next year. Thank you for all that you did for us. Frank P. Breazeale III, Regional Sales and Training Officer, Smith Barney
I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work prior to and at our conference last week. You were even more of a hit than I had hoped! My expectations were met, and exceeded. The time you spent with our team researching our needs and learning about our business challenges definitely paid off. 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. Delphi Corporation
Our conference attendees enjoyed not only your message, but also the humorous and real life way in which it was delivered. The ratings you received on our Exit Survey were all “Excellent!” We look forward to working with you again in the future.

We have used Garrison fifteen times already this year, with terrific results. His funny, interactive approach keeps the group focused, and his "dealing with difficult people" segment, among others, was particularly effective. Garrison helps us provide excellent value-added training to our customers.

Your program was the best received in my 30 years in the business. There are always one or two who find something negative to say. Not this time — all positive comments from those attending. Great job! Kirby-Smith Machinery

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. Thank you for sharing your time, your knowledge and your sense of humor. Old Republic Title Company
Your presentation was outstanding. I would recommend you to any company that wants to motivate & educate employees and independent contractors. Thanks for making me look good! American Express Financial Advisors
The response was phenomenal. We believe you made a real difference in the morale and education of our people. Thank you for the effort you put into your research. The knowledge of our industry was the key. I personally have benefited from your relationship approach, and have increased my average monthly performance by approximately 25% accordingly. I feel that I learned as much in the one hour we had with you as I did in the entire year prior. ALLTEL
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!! Tyco
Garrison Wynn is a most talented, entertaining and compelling speaker. He keeps his audience with him throughout utilizing his sharp wit to demonstrate his key points. The audience leaves the presentation feeling they have gained a great deal of knowledge that can be applied to their everyday business. They also feel they've been entertained…and that's not at all bad! I would strongly recommend Mr. Wynn as I would use his services again without question. Cosmopolitan Cosmetics
I am writing to express our sincere appreciation for being part of our Shell Oil products US “Health and Safety Day-2004” at the Shell Learning Center. The keynote “Getting Great Results-Turning Talent into performance” and the after lunch presentation on “The truth about success” were both well received and highlights based on audience feedback. We appreciated your preparation and planning to deliver the goods that we had expected and discussed. The presentations were engaging, entertaining, motivational and balanced with good substance for take-away utilization. Both 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. Shell Oil Products US

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! LMSB Natural Resources & Construction
Garrison, Thank you so much for the fantastic programs you have provided for our management staff. Our people have made many comments on the valuable information you have given us and are looking forward to your next session Your original humor combined with vital information to our industry makes your programs highly effective and easy to implement. We are looking forward to more programs in the coming months. PS Thanks for making me look good. Double Tree
Your keynote presentation was a terrific way for the CMSA to kick off our 90th annual Convention. Your high-energy presentation with an upbeat humorous style helped to set a tone that carried throughout the remainder of our conference.

I would be pleased to recommend you as a keynote speaker to any association executive or event planner. The California Moving & Storage Association

I am writing to thank you for the outstanding meeting held in Austin. As you know I was taking a huge risk in hosting this event. 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.

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! Mustang Engineering

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.

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.

Your experience, skill and dynamic style made the two day event a big success.

Your formula for effective presentations and the exercise where you helped all of us improve our use of compassion and competence in our delivery was a highlight for everyone.

Your segments on trust and the truth about team building were particularly appropriate in light of our upcoming journey.I also wanted to compliment you on the way you made the material interesting and enjoyable.
