Reverse Engineering the Subtle Injury of Influence: How Knowing Yourself Changes the Way You Lead
An Influential Women masterclass with Amberley Meredith on sustainable leadership, emotional grounding, and building influence through deeper self-awareness.
About This Influential Women Masterclass
Women in leadership are shaped by years of influence — cultural expectations, professional norms, personal experiences, and survival-based coping strategies. While many of these influences once served a purpose, they can quietly create what Amberley Meredith calls the Subtle Injury of Influence: internal narratives and emotional responses that limit clarity, compassion, and sustainable leadership.
In this Influential Women masterclass, Amberley introduces Adaptable Sustainable Psychology (ASP) — a practical framework designed to help leaders understand how their values, experiences, and emotional responses interact under pressure. Through relatable examples and guided reflection, participants learn to build emotional grounding, recognise reactive patterns, and lead with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
