What this book is about
This upcoming book is for high-performing professionals who are used to carrying responsibility, making important decisions, and leading under pressure, but still find themselves questioning instincts, replaying conversations, or hesitating in moments that matter.
It will explore the hidden interference that affects decision-making, confidence, and communication, and introduce a clearer framework for understanding what is actually happening beneath overthinking and internal conflict.
At the center of that work is The Fear Code™ Ann Sommer’s framework for distinguishing between instinctive biological signals and conditioned
fear responses.
