The shocking reason men keep talking over you in meetings

Hi ,
Your executive presence has a leak.
Not because you lack leadership qualities. Not because you're underqualified. But because a subtle detail in your appearance is quietly undermining your authority in every interaction.
The Presence Erosion Factor
After working with thousands of professional women, I've identified a pattern so consistent it's startling:
Accomplished women consistently overlook a specific detail that creates what I call "presence erosion" - where your authority gradually drains away despite your excellent capabilities.
The Millimeter Mistake
What's most surprising? The difference between being perceived as a leader versus a supporter often comes down to adjustments so small they're measured in millimeters.
These tiny details create massive shifts in how others perceive your:
• Decision-making authority
• Leadership capacity
• Strategic thinking
• Executive readiness
Yet they're nearly impossible to identify without trained guidance.
The Executive Alignment Method
Through my work with women who've transformed their leadership trajectory, I've developed a framework that identifies and corrects these subtle presence leaks.

The transformation can redefine how others see your potential:
"After fixing the subtle detail Funke identified, the shift in how senior leadership treated me was immediate and startling. They started consulting me on strategic decisions and within months, I was asked to lead our expansion into a new market - an opportunity I'd been overlooked for previously." - Elizabeth, Senior Director
Your leadership capabilities deserve to be recognized. Let's ensure they are.
To your undeniable presence,
