It was for that reason that he founded the company as Linguis-Techs, Inc. in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Yeager realized that no matter the choice being made, certain elements are inherent in all decisions, so he set out to do what the giants of psychology and linguistics had failed to accomplish \u2013 uncover, decipher, and map the hidden grammar of decision-making. This led to the development of Linguis-Tech\u2019s proprietary 8-Components, a revolutionary questioning model that today serves as the cornerstone of Sommer&#8217;s offerings.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; module_class=&#8221;josefinOverlapImageRight&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/sommerconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DTS_Mood_board_Julien_Tell_3481.jpg&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; height=&#8221;420px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px|||41px||&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;51px||15px||false|&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;50px||0px|&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||25px&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; quote_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;39px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;16px||16px|-9px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px||||&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;2%&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">WHAT SETS SOMMER APART?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-5px|-27px||||&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Words both reveal <em>and<\/em> obscure.
