Program Description:
Whether in emails, texts, phone calls, or face-to-face; words are the foundation of relationships and relationships are at the heart of business. But sometimes our words don’t work. People don’t listen when we talk, buy what we sell, or follow where we lead. That’s why Magic Words: The Science and Secrets Behind 7 Overlooked Words that Create Instant Connection and Influence looks at this problem from a different angle.

BIG IDEA: It isn’t what you say. It isn’t how you say it. The only thing that matters is what they hear.

While performing as a professional magician, Tim David learned first-hand that perception is reality. By learning how words are perceived by the human brain, you unlock the keys to the most valuable skill that exists in business today: human connection and influence.

Look no further than the chapters in Tim’s bestselling book, Magic Words. These innocent-looking (and mostly one-syllable) words may appear to be ordinary, but they each affect the human brain in very specific and unexpected ways. By learning the direct path these words take to your listener’s brain, you’ll also be learning the fascinating psychology and neuroscience that make them work...and therefore, you’ll be learning more about what makes others tick.

When that happens, not only will people begin listening more when you speak, buying more when you sell, and following more when you lead, but they will also LIKE you more. When you can more fully understand others and connect with them – that’s real magic.
