Reverse Engineering the Subtle Injury of Influence: How Knowing Yourself Changes the Way You Lead
Amberley Meredith helps women leaders build self-awareness, emotional grounding, and sustainable influence in this Influential Women Masterclass webinar.
Why this class exists.
This masterclass supports women to lead not by doing more, but by understanding themselves more deeply — creating space for clarity, connection, and sustainable influence.
Women in leadership are shaped by years of influence — cultural expectations, professional norms, personal experiences and values, and survival-based coping strategies. While many of these influences once served us, they can quietly create what I call the subtle injury of influence: internal narratives and emotional responses that limit self-understanding, compassion, and sustainable leadership.
This masterclass introduces Adaptable Sustainable Psychology (ASP) as a practical framework for helping leaders understand how their values, experiences, and emotional responses interact — particularly under pressure or when activated by interpersonal relationships. Through relatable leadership examples and guided reflective exercises, participants will learn how to recognise reactive patterns, build emotional grounding, and develop a clearer, kinder relationship with themselves and those they lead.
Key Takeaways
Participants will gain:
- Insight into how long-standing influences and values shape leadership behaviour — often without conscious awareness
- An understanding of why emotionally reactive responses are common and how to shift toward more intentional, responsive choices
- Practical grounding skills to support emotional steadiness before engaging in reflection or difficult conversations
- A guided “Who Am I?” exercise to clarify identity beyond roles, expectations, and performance, and to identify habitual coping patterns or internal drivers that may undermine wellbeing or leadership effectiveness — with strategies to recognise and address them early.
- Tools to build a personal internal map that supports sustainable leadership and self-trust
- Strategies to recognise what may challenge this process and how to prepare for it with compassion rather than self-criticism
