How We Got Started

I've been behind a microphone, in front of a camera and on a stage since I was a teenager. The entertainment industry has afforded me the opportunity to entertain and inspire audiences of all ages.

Sonny Melendrez Motivational Presentations was founded to answer the growing requests for motivational keynotes.

Meetings and conventions have created an exciting opportunity to bring my brand of an enthusiastic opening or closing keynote for many of these national conferences held in San Antonio and throughout Texas.

Every presentation is crafted in concert with meeting planners to connect with the convention theme, goals and expectations.

Not necessarily. While there is nothing wrong with asking, "What do you do?," a more informal approach would be, "Tell me about yourself." Someone you just met is more likely to gladly respond when you show a genuine interest in them and their answer. Everyone has a story. Get them to tell it... (more) Not necessarily.

Someone you just met is more likely to gladly respond when you show a genuine interest in them and their answer. Everyone has a story. Get them to tell it and you can be on your way to a fascinating several minutes, even if you never say a thing about yourself! The key is to listen!

He said, "No one will look after your career the way you will." Since then, I have taken this wisdom to heart. Being your own boss is actually a mindset. It can exist whether you have a business of your own or are employed by a company. It involves controlling your own destiny by deciding to maximize your hours, to spend more time with your family and to truly help others with your talent, energy and enthusiasm. May your life reward you with the fruits of your service.
