About Red Cup Presentations



When you present, do you open in a compelling manner? Do you move your audiences to action? Do you have a call to action? Whether you are an executive presenting to Board Members, a manager presenting to executives, staff presenting to peers or management, a sales professional presenting to prospective customers, your goal is to have a Clear Concise and Compelling message that moves the audience to action and Red Cup Presentations can help you do that.

Red Cup Presentations is dedicated to helping presenters move decision makers to action through presentation training and presentation skills coaching.

We take a balanced approach to presentation coaching and training. We address how you prepare, structure and deliver a persuasive presentation. All three components must be functioning effectively for you to move your audiences to action.

Training and coaching principles are drawn from the globally branded UPFRONT Persuasion Through Presentation™ program, a presentation skills workshop authored by Judie Knoerle. The program is built around four key areas of a presentation: Groundwork, Engage, Develop and Close. These components represent the preparation needed prior to a presentation, the opening comments that draw the audience in and set the context, the persuasive elements in the body of the presentation and the compelling conclusion.

RCP guarantees immediate 'before and after' improvements captured on video and offers a balanced approach between content and delivery. If you're not satisfied with your improvement, your money is returned.

Why the Name Red Cup?

red cupAren't business names supposed to clearly reflect what you do? In fact, Red Cup does reflect my approach to training and coaching. My husband has a French noir poster in his office. A man in a long coat holds a bright red cup beneath a huge espresso machine. He is leaning in, thirsty. That poster struck a chord. I believe in conducting casual, conversational style workshops and coaching sessions - like having a cup of coffee with someone. I assume clients arrive with some coffee (experience, talent, skills) but want to leave with their cup brimming with additional insights, techniques and skills. My intention, and my reputation, is based upon filling your Red Cup to the brim.


Thank you very much for the feedback, and the course presentation itself. It was a very informative course on many levels and I thought you skillfully created an atmosphere that enabled our group to get the most out of the course.  Since the workshop, I believe my presentations are vastly better than they had been, although that's a relative comparison.  I had a long way to go.  I've actually been promoted to a new position since the workshop, which involves even more presentations, so apparently they're happy enough with my efforts."
