The One Question that Creates Real Influence
What if the most powerful thing you could offer… was a question?
This week on Amanda’s Playbook, I’m sharing a story I’ll never forget — one that completely changed how I think about leadership, influence, and solving real-world problems.
It’s about Gloria Steinem.
A village in Zambia.
And the unexpected solution that stopped sex trafficking:
👉 An electric fence.
Not education.
Not policy.
A fence — because families were starving, and girls were leaving just to survive.
This episode is a masterclass in relationship capital — how real influence isn’t about showing up with answers… it’s about showing up with empathy.
Inside, we’ll break down:
🔹 Why expertise alone can blind you
🔹 The shift from telling to listening with intent
🔹 How co-creation leads to lasting change
If you lead a team, build a brand, or want to have greater impact — this story is for you.
👇 I’d love to hear your thoughts — drop a comment and let me know:
What’s one question you need to ask before trying to solve the problem in front of you?
