Hi, I'm Manny!
I'm a first-generation American, high-school and college grad, that knows how challenging it is to fight through "THE NOISE" while working hard to "MAKE IT".
As a hope researcher and motivational speaker, I share the good and the bad of my personal story, with the intent of empowering you to own and develop yours.
My keynote presentations and workshops are intended to share practical tools and advice that will improve your sense of hope, efficacy, resilience, optimism, and grit.
By doing this, we engage in "REAL TALK"; where we build community by sharing where we’ve been, where we want to go, how we’ll get there, and how to manage “THE NOISE” that gets in the way.

MY PASSION
In school, we learn about fractions, syntax and world history.
What if you were challenged to learn about...
-
the return on investment of your dreams
-
the importance of articulating your plan
-
identifying the lessons learned from your personal experiences
"The 5 Foundational Questions to Mental Toughness" is a series of workshops intended to do this very thing, with the objective of improving personal, academic and professional achievement.
By creating a safe and encouraging environment where we share our challenging experiences, hopes for the future and plans to get there, we actively work towards owning our story.
