IAC 14th Annual Conference
Wednesday June 10, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
It's not that technology is advancing too quickly. It's that human skills are advancing too slowly. There's no big mystery as to why trust, the #1 key to business, is experiencing a crisis during the artificial age. People want something REAL - and if you don't give it to them, then your competitors will.
Where there is human connection, there is magic. Productivity improves in a way that science can't explain. Innovation strikes like lightning from a clear sky. Ordinary people transform into extraordinary teams. You don't have to wait or hope, this can be built.
Join mentalist, author, and top-rated speaker Tim David for an interactive, amazing, science-based, (and also HILARIOUS) program that helps participants experience how quickly authenticity, empathy, and trust can be built in teams using practical frameworks and action-items that can be applied immediately.
In this keynote, Tim introduces the REAL Framework. To be REAL, we must be…
  • R — Radically Human: Present, authentic, vulnerable, and human-first
  • E — Empathically Concerned: Replace assumptions with curiosity to reduce friction
  • A — Artistically Minded: Cultivate originality and creativity in a world of replication
  • L — Long-Term Focused: “People over profits” compounds trust over time
Program Objectives:After engaging with this session, participants will be able to… 
  • Identify where “artificial connection” is eroding trust (meetings, email/Slack, hybrid dynamics) and choose one “Radically Human” behavior that immediately raises presence and credibility.
  • Apply a simple empathy reset that replaces assumptions with curiosity—so collaboration speeds up and conflict de-escalates faster.
  • Differentiate between “copy/paste work” and “artistry work,” then implement a repeatable practice that increases originality and innovation (even in AI-saturated roles).
  • Build a long-term “trust deposit” system—small, consistent actions that compound reliability, follow-through, and culture over time.
  • Adapt the REAL Framework to their specific context (leadership, sales, cross-functional teams, member-based organizations) so the model becomes a shared language, not a poster slogan.

Tim David Speaks
Like you, author and influential communication expert, Tim David is frustrated by what is happening to the quality of human connection in our modern world. Can more connection really increase the bottom line and improve the quality of our lives at the same time? Will better human connection really make us better leaders, better salespeople, and...
