Keynotes to Elevate Your Voice and Inspire Change

The Sound of Influence: Elevate Your Leadership Voice
Build Your Bridge to Influence: How Status Shapes Who Succeeds
She Speaks! Vocal Techniques for Women on the Rise

If your voice gets tuned out, your ideas may never land. That means missed opportunities, diminished influence, and stalled leadership growth. 

In this interactive session, explore Sonic Leadership: the idea that how a leader’s voice sounds shapes how they’re perceived, trusted, and followed. Through small but intentional adjustments in tone, pitch, pace, energy, and diction, leaders can command attention, project authority, and create more inclusive, influential conversations.

Leaders who understand small vocal shifts don’t just elevate their own presence—they gain a practical framework for coaching others to communicate more effectively in interviews, sales, and everyday workplace interactions.

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 exploring 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.

In a world where women’s voices are often talked over or undervalued, owning your voice means more than just being heard—it shapes how others perceive your confidence, competence, and authority. This session combines insights from evolutionary and social science, human anatomy, and voice samples from historical icons like Shirley Chisholm and Margaret Thatcher. Explore vocal affects such as pitch, pace, volume, diction, and breath to have more control over your voice, especially under stress. Walk away empowered to elevate your voice and expand your influence.

Rebecca P. Murray, Vocal Influence Strategist

Rebecca’s fascination with the human voice began early—singing before she could speak and absorbing the magic of vinyl records on her own player. That passion evolved into a professional journey recording, directing, and producing hundreds of audio works, from audiobooks and TV commercials to podcasts and live-streamed events.

Today, as a vocal expert, audiophile, and audio-mastering enthusiast, Rebecca empowers her clients to unlock their authentic voices and elevate their vocal presence to make a lasting impact.
