It was a real pleasure to be invited to speak at this Impactful conference! My topic, Remembering who you are in the face of Workplace trauma ………….. How does one dance with Racism and conscious or Unconscious biases that cut into the body like papercuts? How does one heal from the multitude of papercuts received daily in the workplace? May 24

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

I experienced much Joy and great learning speaking here! My Expressive presentation was called ‘How I got Over,’ a wonderful opportunity to lead the conference in song!

**ICMP CONFERENCE ‘Saved by a song,’ 2024**
**‘How I got Over’ Presented by Brenda Rattray**

This conference was also amazing! My presentation focus was remembering who you are in the face of workplace injustice! May24

feedback:

‘Everyone was moved yesterday during the conference in many ways. The themes of self-expression, power dynamics, womanhood and racism were addressed in a graceful, life-affirming way.’

Job well done!!

Brenda's leadership has made a marked difference on my professional practice. The care and precision with which she curated and led Sound Connections' Inclusive Practice conference was exceptional, as was her contribution to our recent Saved by a song conference. She inhabits space, creates space for others, and challenges those who are occupying spaces that do not belong to them. All of this is delivered with a joyful song, which is disarming and galvanising. Shane

I really thoroughly enjoyed and was affected by your presentation. I did not need the images to be transported by your work and the way your raison d’être ran through everything you said/sang. Thank you for reaching me in this way, and I just want to send all the positive energy, support, and encouragement that I can from here. Love will prevail. Martin
