The Tactical Communication Method

Communication with a purpose and a plan

Decisions are based on emotion: whether to buy, subscribe, laugh at your joke, or even just listen to you. Most people focus on their message. David teaches your team to focus on the audience.

They lean in.

Rapid rapport, drawn from the techniques magicians and mentalists use to hold a room's complete attention.

They remember.

Storytelling for impact. Audience-centric messaging that grabs attention, holds it, and sticks long after the session ends.

They use it.

Actionable tools your team applies the next morning, in sales calls, interviews, presentations, and every meeting after.

Meet David

A magician's eye. A business leader's results.

David Reich is a technology leader, speaker, and professional magician, mentalist, and stage hypnotist. He has spent his career learning exactly what makes people pay attention, and what makes them act on it.

The Tactical Communication method was born from that unusual combination: the techniques performers use to instantly connect with a room, translated into tools for business. His programs have run everywhere from a Harvard psychology class to IBM to the TEDx stage, with success stories worldwide.

Questions

Straight answers

What exactly is Tactical Communication?

Communication with a purpose and a plan. Decisions are based on emotion, and Tactical Communication teaches your team to develop rapid rapport and design audience-centric messaging that creates effective outcomes. It's the method David built from twenty years as both a business leader and a professional magician.

Is this a magic show or a training?

It's a training that uses a performer's toolkit. Magicians are professionally trained to control exactly where a room's attention goes, and that skill is the foundation of the method. Demonstrations make the concepts unforgettable, but participants leave with practical communication tools, not card tricks. If you want pure entertainment for your event, that's available too.

Can the program be customized for our team?

Yes, every engagement is. Custom programs range from leadership development and sales training to marketing, executive presence, and motivational talks. David works with you to tailor the topics and messages to your audience. His job is to cater to your room.

What size and type of events does David do?

From the living room to the conference hall to the board room. Product announcements, group meetings, conference stages, hospitality suites, sales events, offsites, and more. He has also delivered virtual programs, including CIC Boston's Virtual Arts Week.

What happens after I check availability?

You'll hear back promptly, and then David gets on a call with you to talk about your audience, your event, and what you want people saying afterward. From there he designs the session for your room.
