Should I Hide That From Employers?” Fear of the unknown gets a lot of attention. But the deeper fear — the one that quietly shapes our careers and lives — is something else entirely. The fear of knowing ourselves. In this first episode of a three-part series on fear and self-discovery, your host Suzy Welch explores why so many people avoid looking closely at who they really are — and what they truly want. Drawing inspiration from the iconic film “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” Suzy examines the psychological reality behind what researchers call information avoidance: our tendency to avoid truths that might force us to change. She tackles a question from podcast listener Katie, who took a brave step after decades of professional success: a sabbatical to reassess her life and career. Now she faces a dilemma many people share — should she admit that she took a sabbatical on her resume, or hide it from potential employers? This episode kicks off a three-part “Be Not Afraid” series on the courage it takes to change your life from the inside out. Because the truth is simple: If you don’t stop to ask who you are… life will eventually force the question. And the sooner you ask it, the better.

Should I Hide That From Employers?” Fear of the unknown gets a lot of attention. But the deeper fear — the one that quietly shapes our careers and lives — is something else entirely. The fear of knowing ourselves. In this first episode of a three-part series on fear and self-discovery, your host Suzy Welch explores why so many people avoid looking closely at who they really are — and what they truly want. Drawing inspiration from the iconic film “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” Suzy examines the psychological reality behind what researchers call information avoidance: our tendency to avoid truths that might force us to change. She tackles a question from podcast listener Katie, who took a brave step after decades of professional success: a sabbatical to reassess her life and career. Now she faces a dilemma many people share — should she admit that she took a sabbatical on her resume, or hide it from potential employers? This episode kicks off a three-part “Be Not Afraid” series on the courage it takes to change your life from the inside out. Because the truth is simple: If you don’t stop to ask who you are… life will eventually force the question. And the sooner you ask it, the better.

The visual identity is elevated and editorial, utilizing a clean, minimalist layout that allows high-quality imagery and evocative textures to take center stage. The design employs a refined typographic hierarchy and ample whitespace, creating a sense of calm and intellectual depth. It successfully bridges the gap between a high-end lifestyle publication and a profound thought-leadership journal, appealing to a discerning, conscious audience.",{"id":735,"website_id":736,"page_id":735,"name":737,"slug":738,"url":739,"website_name":737,"website_slug":738,"website_url":740,"result_url":739,"fetched_at":741,"score":742,"score_boost":336,"ai_score":595,"freshness_score":335,"scored_at":743,"page_name":45,"page_url":739,"page_title":737,"page_description":47,"page_content":744,"page_sort":336,"is_home":342,"is_home_rank":343,"page_type_id":344,"page_type_name":52,"cover":745,"cover_mobile":748,"cover_sequence":750,"translations":760,"industry":21,"styles":763,"credits":765,"font_families":767,"technologies":768,"pagespeed":770,"pagespeed_mobile":776,"buckets":781,"search_payload":783},"cf9f198b-d6ac-4ca6-a7eb-d14d9f6c4fc2","f9fbdbd5-d5d4-450b-8457-f6edaab30558","Face Forward","face-forward","https:\u002F\u002Ffaceforward.typography.ie\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Ffaceforward.typography.ie","2026-05-04T09:21:59.000Z",84,"2026-05-23T19:09:49.000Z","_Face Forward_ is an international peer-reviewed conference focused on typography that seeks to examine design and typographic practice, and to make explicit existing connections between craft, research, theory, history, criticism and pedagogy. This conference aims to provoke informed, rigorous and critical debate on aspects of typographic research and practice that relate to current discourse and contexts. It is the inaugural event in what will become an annual international conference. This year’s conference is supported by ID2015 Year of Irish Design and the Dublin Institute of Technology. In the field of visual communication and typographic practice, a great deal of epistemological uncertainty still exists. As a consequence, concrete theoretical or methodological positions around which the discipline could cohere have yet to emerge—a situation this conference seeks to address. The conference will provide a forum for research into typographic production, representation, dissemination and use. It encourages interdisciplinary enquiry; thus we welcome papers dealing with typography in all its forms, material and immaterial. We encourage submissions that consider typography in as broad a sense as possible, that celebrate the vitality and range of typography and which seek to expand definitions of both typographic object and practice. – Registration is now open.
