Our Mission
The Society is an organization that helps people discover and achieve their goals. The Society offers life-changing lectures from the nations leading presenters and a community where like-minded success oriented individuals come together and help one another succeed. The Society also serves as a powerful force of good in the greater community by encouraging and organizing action to better the world.
The guiding question we established to shape all the important decisions the organization makes is: "Are we helping the greatest number of people in the greatest way?" When asked how he might sum up the key thing that the Society does, founder Gary Tuerack shared "We are dream supporters – we build leaders, support people in achieving their dreams, and better the world in the process. We get people to ask the all important question 'What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?' and then help them to achieve those goals."

History
The National Society of Leadership and Success began with founder, Gary Tuerack's vision of creating a community where like-minded success, oriented individuals could come together to learn from and support each other.
As a child, Gary was an extremely slow reader and struggled in school. In order to overcome this difficulty, he learned strategies to increase his reading speed, concentration, memory, and grades, and became an IVY League graduate. Inspired by his ability to set "unrealistic" goals with focused action and support, he dedicated the next decade out of college helping college students to achieve the success they desire.
