Your Virtual Coaches
Led by Ramey Warren and Steven Lewis of Media Savvy, LLC, your coaches are all seasoned presenters. They are television talk show hosts and producers, lawyers, authors, lecturers and professors.
Ramey Warren began her career working with the parade of entertainers and stars that passed through The Tonight Show during Johnny Carson’s era. There she was introduced to practically every celebrity on the planet and had it drummed into every brain cell the importance of being ready for media exposure and the importance of presentation.
Subsequently she moved on to create and produce talk and lifestyle series for Fox, ABC, Paramount, NBC, Universal, The Sci Fi Channel, HGTV, The TV Guide Channel Television and Twentieth Television. She was executive producer of the TV Guide Channel from the launch and four years after. The ability to recognize breakthrough talent led to the creation of an incubator for developing concepts, franchises and personality brands.
Today she specializes in coaching and presentation refinement for businesses and entertainment clients who know the importance of the “first impression” and the need to cultivate their distinct personalities to become convincing speakers and dynamic executives.
Emmy Award winning television executive and producer Steven Lewis brings a deep understanding of personal presentation and the importance of bringing out the best in talent for all forms of production. His experience ranges in public relations - as a publicist for Tom Cruise and Merv Griffin Productions, among others - to a career as both a production executive and entrepreneur. In 1986 he co-founded Greystone Communications, which grew to be the largest single supplier of documentary programming in television. Throughout his career he has produced reality programs for NBC, CBS, Showtime, HGTV, A&E and MTV Networks.
What was widely apparent in every phase of his involvement with production was that the key to succeeding in the documentary/reality format was to get the best “performances” out of non-acting professionals. Today he applies those same skills to individuals from all sectors of business, be they doctors, lawyers, authors or corporate executives, to help them give their finest personal presentations and the aid them in preparation for major speeches.
