-- Ann Steffen Sommer, PA-C, offers keynotes, executive offsites, and board sessions focused on leadership, decision-making, and the role fear can play in professional performance. Drawing on nearly three decades of clinical and surgical medicine, Sommer brings a practical perspective to the challenges leaders face when decisions carry significant consequences.
“Brilliant people freeze in the moments that matter most. Not from lack of skill. Because they misread the fear driving the call,” Sommer states on her official website.
Her speaking topics include The Law of Fear²™, Fear Is the Most Expensive Person in Your Company, and The Uncompromised Leader. These sessions explore how fear can influence judgment, delay decisions, and affect leadership presence. The aim is to help audiences recognize the patterns behind hesitation and better understand how they respond when the stakes are high.
For executives, founders, and leadership teams, learning to lead with confidence under pressure can be particularly relevant when navigating difficult conversations, organizational change, or consequential business decisions. Sommer’s approach centers on distinguishing fear that serves a protective purpose from learned fear that may interfere with effective action.
Her website describes this distinction directly: “Fear is one emotion but two distinct forces. One fear protects. The second fear is prevented.”
This concept also informs her work on communication under pressure, encouraging leaders to examine how fear may shape their responses and decisions. Event organizers can explore her speaking topics and request availability for conferences, all-hands meetings, executive offsites, and board sessions.
