Last year I was invited by a colleague to sit in on his company’s year end corporate retreat, which was to feature one of the top keynote speakers in the region. Now, I should clarify that title was bestowed upon this particular speaker by the PR firm he had hired to look after all of his press materials. Looking at this particular press kit there was no reason to think this individual would be anything less than perfect for the task at hand. It mentioned that he had a background in the entertainment world, had attended business school, and had traveled the world speaking on a variety of topics. As it turns out, all of these things were true -- sort of. At one point he had answered the phones at a ticket agency, he had dropped out of business school after a year, and he had one venture overseas when he was in his teens as an exchange student who had to give ‘talks’ about his hometown to small groups of people from the cities he has visiting.
Needless to say, his keynote speech did not go well. Ten minutes in and the look on the faces of those in attendance said it all. If they weren’t confused by the rambling nature of his presentation they were bored by his feeble attempt at comedic ribbing directed towards their employer. It hit home hard right there how important it is to have one the best keynote speakers in the country, like Garrison Wynn, on your speed dial.
What puts Garrison Wynn in the category of one of the most sought after motivational speakers in the business is his varied background in both the world of business and entertainment. He comfortably and naturally works in whatever content is requested by whoever hires him for their functions, and he does it by utilizing the skills he learned as an actor, standup comedian, and time spent as the youngest department head of a Fortune 500 company. Garrison is one of the successful keynote speakers in the world of motivational presentations because he perfectly balances the need for informative topics and relative content with a relaxed, engaging delivery that leaves his audiences feeling energized and alive.
Garrison Wynn has the credentials and the experience necessary to rank him as one of the top-ranked keynote speakers available. His background in entertainment, manufacturing, telecommunications and financial services means no matter what topic or subject matter your company would like addressed in their keynote speech, Garrison Wynn is the man for the job.

top keynote speakers are involved in the proceedings. Jean feels that employees and administrators absorb more from a conference or retreat when they’re engaged by the speakers, rather than simply lectured at. It is Jean’s experience that the
best motivational speakers can entertain their audience while still conveying their message.
