Understanding Before Assumption
Introducing the VOCES Framework
Why understanding must come before assumption — and how the VOCES Framework reframes communication around the person rather than the system.
Learn more →Research-informed conversations that help people, organizations, and systems communicate with greater understanding.
Led by Lisette Diaz Santiago, founder of HuLux Innovations and creator of the VOCES Framework. Sessions explore communication, aging, dementia, healthcare, caregiving, trust-centered technology, and human-centered design — translating research into ideas organizations can actually use.
Each session can be shaped as a keynote, workshop, or lecture and tailored to your audience. Durations are typical and fully adjustable.
