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.
