Build Your Bridge to Influence.
What’s Your Status Story?

Titles look impressive on paper. But in real life? Sometimes the assistant to the assistant is the one everyone listens to—because status speaks louder than titles. Influence isn’t about titles or power: it’s about your status, how others experience you. In this keynote, Rebecca P. Murray uses the metaphor of bridges to explore the structural components of status: how we connect with people, strengthen relationships, and mend those in need of repair.

Blending personal stories, humor, and interactive moments, Rebecca helps women navigate the balance of assertiveness and warmth—building on Alison Fragale’s research that shows how women face a higher bar for workplace success. Participants walk away with practical strategies to elevate their status, expand their influence, and claim not only a seat at the table, but a voice that gets heard.

Key Takeaways

  • Explore the difference between influence, power, and status in the workplace.

  • Understand the structural components of workplace status and the ‘high bar of likability’ assigned to women.
  • Strengthen relationships by intentionally blending assertiveness with approachability.

  • Recognize that you are neither “too much” nor “not enough,” and learn how to build on what comes naturally.

  • Experience what a “likeable badass” looks and sounds like when giving feedback, greeting others, and repairing strained relationships.

Keynote Promise:  You will be entertained, challenged, and provided with practical, applicable tactics that can be applied immediately.

Rebecca Murray Women in Construction

Lance Calloway, AGC of Western Washington: Rebecca was invited to keynote and emcee our Celebration of Women In Construction event. She provided valuable insights to our committee as we were organizing the run of show in advance of the event. I loved how Rebecca brought in her past construction safety experience into her keynote speech to over 200 construction attendees which made her speech even more impactful. The connection and feedback were tremendous!

Julie Millage, KBA Inc. Construction: Rebecca seamlessly integrated her insights into a powerful keynote address that resonated deeply with the audience. She went beyond simply sharing an empowering message—she facilitated an interactive panel discussion and elevated the female voice in a typically male dominated field. 

Nate Wolfe, CEO, TRICO Construction: What a great program you hosted last night! I appreciate your work in speaking at these incredibly empowering events.
