Closing The Authority Gap
Why are women still taken less seriously than men, even when their expertise and leadership are equal?
Subtle, often unconscious, biases continue to shape how women are perceived — from being interrupted in meetings to having their ideas overlooked. These everyday moments compound into what journalist and author Mary Ann Sieghart calls “the authority gap” — the credibility shortfall women face, not because of competence, but because of perception.
On Monday, December 8, at 11:00 a.m. ET, Mary Ann Sieghart, author of The Authority Gap, and Maricel Dicion, VP of Strategy at Women of Influence+, unpacked how this gap persists and what leaders can do to close it.
This event is part of the WOI+ x TENA Leadership Series, supported by TENA Canada, created to spark the conversations too often left out of leadership dialogue.
