Two Experts. One Human Advantage.
Four hours, two perspectives on the same problem: in a world running on AI and automation, the people who win are the ones who can read the room and build real trust fast.
Jim Morris
Author of Connect or Die How to Survive AI · Keynote Speaker · Founder of Human Touch Publishing
Jim Morris teaches leaders, founders, and professionals how to become the kind of human other people choose to bet on.
Through integrity as a system, verbal mastery, and compassionate curiosity, Jim helps you start better conversations and turn first meetings into relationships people trust. His Connection Reps framework and the acquaintances-to-allies-to-confidants ladder show you how to build a network that shows up for you.
What Jim will teach
- Connection Reps: the daily practice that makes connection a skill, not a personality trait
- Integrity as a system: keeping small promises so people bet on you before you ask
- Verbal mastery: word choice, tone, and pacing that make people feel understood
- Compassionate curiosity: questions that move a conversation past small talk
- Acquaintances, allies, and confidants: how to move relationships up the ladder on purpose
- How to use technology, social media, and automation in a human way
- Turning a first conversation into a relationship people bet on
Be the human they choose to bet on.
Brian Galke
The Decoding Detective · Keynote Speaker · Founder of Subtle Skills
Brian Galke teaches leaders, entrepreneurs, and sales professionals how to read the signals most people miss and use them to build trust on purpose.
Using his signature F.A.C.E. Decoding System™, along with Body Language and Statement Analysis, Brian helps you understand how people think, communicate, and respond. He shows you how to recognize what someone values, what they avoid, and what they are not saying so you can adapt your approach, reduce friction, and connect faster with confidence.
What Brian will teach
- Decode personality and communication preferences from facial features
- Read body language and recognize unspoken signals in real time
- Analyze statements to uncover what may be missing, avoided, or emphasized
- Spot the gap between what people say and what they actually mean
- Adapt your tone, pace, and wording to match how someone prefers to connect
- Build rapport and earn trust faster without sounding scripted or salesy
- Turn a first read into a relationship that holds up over time
Read the face. Read the room. Understand the person.
Special guest
Jimmy Hays Nelson
Speaker · Communication Strategist · Co-Founder of WellCrafted Story
Jimmy Hays Nelson helps leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts turn what they know into messages that connect, build trust, and move people to action.
A former stage and screen performer, Jimmy has spent more than two decades studying what makes people listen, connect, and respond. He has presented for representatives of organizations including Disney, Pfizer, Shell, QVC, and General Mills, and has shared stages with names including Gary Vaynerchuk, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, and David Meltzer.
Today, Jimmy teaches a simple belief: having something valuable to say isn't enough. You have to know how to communicate it in a way another human being can actually receive. Through his 5 C's framework, he helps people create greater clarity, deeper connection, and conversations that lead to meaningful action.
The Five C's of a Well-Crafted Story
During this talk, you will learn how to
- Communicate what you do with clarity so people immediately understand your value
- Create genuine connection and build trust faster in any conversation
- Turn your experiences, expertise, and ideas into stories people actually remember
- Move people from connection to action without sounding scripted, salesy, or transactional
The Room is the Strategy
A day that actually feels like something.
GROW. CONNECT. LEARN.
What to Expect
Four Hours That Will Change How You Connect
This is not another event where you sit, take notes, and forget everything by Monday.
Jim Morris and Brian Galke will lead you through four interactive hours designed to help you build stronger relationships, communicate with confidence, and create opportunities that technology alone cannot produce.
Build Connection on Purpose
Jim will show you how to turn connection into a repeatable skill, use technology without losing the human touch, and move conversations beyond small talk.
Read the Signals Most People Miss
Brian will teach you how to use the F.A.C.E. Decoding System™, Body Language, and Statement Analysis to better understand the person in front of you.
Practice in the Room
You will apply what you learn through live exercises, real conversations, and practical connection reps you can use immediately.
Build Relationships That Continue After the Event
Meet entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals who value genuine connection and are ready to build meaningful business relationships.
Books and Author Signing
You will receive a copy of Connect or Die How To Survive AI and have the opportunity for Author Jim Morris to sign it and take a photo together.
What changes after this event
Your Life Gets Better
Jim Morris and Brian Galke are not just teaching communication techniques. They are teaching the skill that makes every other skill more valuable: the ability to connect with another human being in a way that creates trust, opportunity, and momentum.
When you leave this room, you will not just have new ideas. You will have a new way of moving through the world that produces real, measurable upgrades in how fast you grow, who you meet, and what becomes possible for you.
More Opportunities
Most opportunities do not show up on job boards, listings, or cold outreach. They show up inside conversations with the right people. You will learn how to walk into any room and become someone others remember, refer, and invite back. That means more introductions, more conversations worth having, and more doors opening simply because you know how to open them.
More Resources
The right relationship is worth more than the right resume. When people trust you, they share what they know, who they know, and what they have before those resources ever become public. You will build a network of entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals who actually want to see you win and are willing to help you do it.
Faster Growth
Growth slows when you try to figure everything out alone. You will learn how to shorten the distance between where you are and where you want to be by connecting with people who have already traveled that road. One right conversation can save you years of trial and error. This event is designed to create several of them.
Easier Transformation
Becoming the person you want to be does not have to be a constant grind. When you are surrounded by people who reflect your future back to you, change becomes natural. You will learn how to use connection as the environment that makes transformation stick instead of willpower that eventually runs out.
Access to Get There Faster and Smarter
Access is the hidden multiplier behind every breakthrough. It is who returns your call, who makes the warm introduction, and who invites you into rooms you did not know existed. Jim and Brian will show you how to earn that access ethically and consistently so you stop knocking on doors from the outside and start being welcomed through them.
This is what happens when connection becomes a skill instead of an accident. You do not just meet more people. You create a life where the right people show up at the right time with the right opportunity.
