Making the Most of
Difficult Situations
Changing Markets, Changing Times
This funny, insightful program combines relationship building
with no-fluff motivation and change to deliver real solutions in uncertain
times. Garrison examines the challenges we face and shows how we can laugh
at our problems while using them as catalysts for success. This session covers
a lot of ground and provides no-cost, easy to implement, proven solutions
that your people can use right away.
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 program provides
original research on managing expectations and emotions and shows that there
really is more to success than being the best.
Getting Great Results: Turning Talent
Into Performance
In this program, results from the largest management survey
ever conducted are combined with real-life management and leadership solutions
to get the most from your people, regardless of their skill level. Participants
learn to manage their ego-driven top producers, how to listen like leaders
and make their people feel heard, how to hire for talent and turn it into
top performance, how to create a culture of excellence with their most promising
people, and how to help their low performers fight their way to the middle.
About Garrison Wynn
Garrison helps people learn how to make the jump from
being great at what they do to understanding and developing the qualities
it takes to be consistently chosen. He gets them to understand why their
products, services, or leadership styles, or those of their competitors,
are selected. As he 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.”
As a speaker, advisor, and coach, Garrison has worked with
some of the worlds most effective corporate leaders and salespeople, from
multibillion-dollar manufacturers to top New York Stock Exchange wire houses.
He has a background in manufacturing, entertainment, telecommunications,
and financial services.
Garrison started as a sales and marketing person in
a branch office of a Fortune 500 company at age 24 and was chosen to be
department head at corporate headquarters three years later. He researched
and designed processes for 38 company locations nationwide and developed
and marketed products still being sold in 30 countries. An experienced
actor in films and a former professional stand-up comedian, he has hosted
PBS television specials and national radio programs.
