Manny Ramos can turn a rambling presenter into someone who is brilliant
and brief.
He can take the guesswork out of meeting with the media. Manny has been
a presentation coach and media trainer for executives from some of the
nation’s leading corporations. Having conducted more than 20,000
interviews, Manny knows what makes news, how to craft messages that cut
through the clutter, how to tell a story - and how not to.
Manny has experience as a print reporter, a broadcast journalist and is
now a contributor to a leading Internet magazine.
During his career in television news, Manny was
the recipient of six Emmy awards including the Emmy for Outstanding
Reporter. His work has been recognized with awards from among others,
the Radio and Television News Directors Association, the World Affairs
Council, the Bay Area Press Association, and the Associated Press.
The phrase “he’s seen it all” comes to mind in
describing Manny’s career. As a young cub reporter in Sacramento, one
of his first assignments was to cover then Governor Ronald Reagan.
Manny has followed Pope John Paul II around the country, camped in
Alaska after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, been shot at during the Contra
War in Nicaragua and gone yachting with Queen Elizabeth. His work has
