The Magic that is Human Connection
Ahmad Jaber
Description
<p>Tim David started his career as a magician. He was traveling and doing up to 350 shows a year. But being a traveling magician and parenting a child wasn’t a great mix. So he sought a career change that could bring about some life balance. But he’d never had a real job—so how could he help people in their real jobs? </p> <p>He realized that the lessons that he’d learned from a life on stage could be transformed into an occupation. His lesson is simple: it’s all about human connection. It’s not about the magic tricks or the skills—it’s about connecting with people. Learn all about this magical skill in this episode of Negotiations Ninja.</p> <h2>Outline of This Episode</h2> <ul> <li>[2:25] Tim’s journey from magician to communication expert</li> <li>[6:56] How is influence different from manipulation?</li> <li>[13:39] Tim’s biggest takeaway from magic</li> <li>[17:53] The four tiers of the TRUE hierarchy</li> <li>[25:04] How to understand someone else’s perception</li> <li>[28:37] Why salespeople don’t reach an emotional level with prospects</li> <li>[33:07] Connection has to be your motivation</li> <li>[34:11] Why Tim wrote The 7-Day Digital Diet</li> <li>[36:50] How to connect Tim David </li> </ul> <h2>Resources & People Mentioned</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.negotiations.ninja/podcast/magic-negotiation-and-deception/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Negotiations Ninja Episode #51 with Brian Brushwood</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.negotiations.ninja/podcast/negotiation-strategies-straight-from-famous-mentalist-banachek-ep-131/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Negotiations Ninja Episode #131 with Banachek</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/julian_treasure_how_to_speak_so_that_people_want_to_listen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julian Treasure’s Ted Talk</a></li> <li>Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thinking, Fast an
