About

Tim David got his start as a professional magician performing more than 300 shows per year. After spending hours practicing in front of the mirror, obsessively watching video footage of his performances, and analyzing his audiences reactions, Tim developed a skill that is disappearing from our culture. The ability to take another person's perspective and create true human connection. His vision is to share the science and secrets of verbal and non-verbal communication with the managers who need to connect better with their employees, the salespeople who need to connect better with their prospects, and the parents who need to connect better with their children. He has become known as a wildly entertaining speaker and he presents over 100 programs each year all over North America.
