Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The credentials you earned don't vanish when you walk into the room-your brain's belief in them does, andmost of what happens next depends on whether you train that belief or let doubt narrate for you. Part ofFlorentine Sorrel's insightful book explores the disorienting gap between external qualification and internalcertainty, and the performance anxiety that fills it.When preparation meets a high-stakes moment, competence stops being a neutral asset and becomes a stage forself-doubt to perform on. Closing the Confidence Gap is not a resume workshop, a public speaking course, or acollection of affirmations. Instead, it unpacks the specific cognitive scripts that silence you despite strongcredentials, showing you what your hesitation actually costs your career.Through relatable professional scenarios, you will explore the hidden mechanics of self-silencing:- The Inner Rehearsal Loop: Why the voice demanding more polish, more research, more "something"before you speak often delays you past the moment your idea could land.- The Misread Room: How a single crossed arm or blank expression can derail your entire presentation,and why your brain defaults to the worst interpretation of neutral cues.- The Qualified Freeze: Why having every slide approved, every number verified, and every stakeholderaligned doesn't prevent the throat-tightening silence when it's your turn to speak.You'll gain specific cognitive overrides to interrupt the rehearsal loop, reinterpret ambiguous signals accurately,and speak your ideas before doubt talks you out of the moment. Pick up Closing the Confidence Gap now andclose the gap between what you know and what you're finally ready to say out loud.
