What clients are saying?

I’ve seen Shoup up-level the collective presentation skills of so many people (at both Tableau and Pigment). I can definitely see the difference when someone has had a few coaching sessions with Shoup.  It’s not just their confidence and polish when they present, but also their enjoyment of doing so.

David Shoup is an expert in presentation and leadership! He infuses unparalleled positive energy and care to all he does. His passion, dedication, and personalization up-level and transform meetings, conferences, trainings, and presentations to inspire and motivate. I’ve worked with David at three different companies, Southwestern, Tableau, and Gong, and I’d hire David again and again!! Strongly recommend!

My biggest take away is how I chose to invest in capability-building at Pigment last year." We had a huge demand for presentation skills and partnering with Shoup was a deliberate decision to raise the bar across the organization. Teams now approach presentations with more intention. They have clearer narratives, stronger structure, and rely less on slides as a crutch. There’s a noticeable lift in energy during pitches and internal moments alike. It's been a wonderful foundation for our teams. Our internal post-CSAT score was 98%!.
