People respect your male colleagues more for this unfair reason

Hi ,
Your authority is leaking away, second by second.
Not because you lack expertise.
Not because you're underqualified.
Not because you're not speaking up.
But because of an invisible signal that's undermining your credibility with every interaction.
The Authority Drain
After working with thousands of professional women, I've identified a pattern so consistent it's startling:
Accomplished women consistently make a specific image mistake that causes others to unconsciously question their judgment and expertise.
This creates what I call "authority leakage" – where your credibility slowly drains away despite your excellent capabilities.
The Credibility Connection
This subtle mistake affects how seriously others take your input, recommendations, and decisions. It explains the frustrating experience of:
• Having your suggestions questioned when a male colleague's identical ideas are accepted
• Needing to over-prepare and over-justify your positions
• Finding your expertise challenged by less qualified colleagues
• Being interrupted or talked over in meetings
The Authority Seal Method
Through my work with women who've transformed their professional influence, I've developed a framework that stops this authority leakage and strengthens your perceived credibility.

"After implementing Funke's Authority Seal Method, the constant questioning of my decisions stopped almost overnight. My team became more responsive, senior leadership sought my input directly, and I finally felt my expertise was being properly valued." - Rebecca, Director of Operations
Your hard-earned authority deserves to be recognized and respected. Let's ensure it is.
To your unquestioned credibility,
