Type Tasting talks



Keynote talk: Reading outside the lines

This is a fresh take on human responses; how we make sense of, and interact with, the world around us. Understanding this is a powerful business tool that can enable you to communicate effectively and to motivate responses.

The world is full of words and these help us to navigate a course through our busy lives. However, all is not always as it seems, because we make judgements and assumptions that influence our experiences and our choices long before we digest the words themselves.

In this keynote talk Sarah gives insights into the 'secret' messages hidden in words that affect our thoughts, feelings and even our behaviour.

Sarah has been studying our responses to the look of words through her own research and in collaboration with the Crossmodal Research Department at the University of Oxford. In this talk the audience is invited to join in with lively games and demonstrations as they take part in the discovery process.
