Garrison Wynn 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 chosen for the job.

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 keynote speaker, author and consultant, Garrison has worked with some of the world's 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.

In his latest book The Real Truth About Success: What the Top 1% Do Differently, What They Won't Tell You and How You Can Do It Anyway, Garrison Wynn uses his skills as a former stand-up comedian and his insight as a corporate consultant and speaker to sweep away long-held "myths" that have been created to explain success. Whether it is the real estate agent who uses her husband's client list to make sales or the Hollywood star who used her father's name to open the doors, there is nothing wrong with using an unfair advantage in the business world.

While interviewing hundreds of the most successful people in a diverse array of industries, Wynn has exposed what few if any truly successful people are willing to admit. The top players are guarding their secrets to success by stating the obvious, "hard work," "believing in yourself" and "determination." These are all helpful, but there needs to be more to make it to the top. In The Real Truth About Success, Wynn exposes the secrets and gets you on the right path to your successful future.

• The Truth About Success: 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. This keynote provides original research on managing expectations and emotions and shows that there really is more to success than being the best.
