TRUST, TALK AND TEAMWORK
The workplace skills nobody taught you
Emotional intelligence, communication, and trust: the human side of work that no one ever sat you down to explain. I help you build it, one small habit at a time.
I teach the human skills your career actually runs on, the ones no one ever put in the handbook. Trina May
HI, I’M TRINA
What if it was never your work holding you back?
After a career inside agency and corporate work, I learned the skills that actually move careers are the ones nobody trains you on: speaking up, building trust, and navigating hard conversations. So I built Trust, Talk, and Teamwork to teach them at every level, from the newest hire to the leaders shaping how a whole team works together.
My goal is to hand people the unspoken rules, so the capability they already have finally gets to shine.
WHY IT MATTERS
At work, the small things are never small
How someone reacts under pressure. Whether the quiet person gets heard. If people feel safe enough to disagree. These small moments compound, and over time they decide whether a team does its best work or slowly comes apart.
In a global study, 93% said psychological safety directly boosts productivity and innovation.* Knowing it and building it are two different things — I help teams close that gap.*Workplace Options & IIRSM, 2025
WHAT I OFFER
Three ways to work together
Whether you're growing your own skills or building a stronger team, the work starts in the same place. The human side no one was trained on.
01One-on-one coaching
The hard conversation you're dreading. The meeting where you go quiet. The manager dynamic that's stuck. We take what's actually in front of you and work through it, one conversation at a time.
02Workshops
Build communication, trust, and emotional intelligence across a whole team in a focused live session.
03Speaking
Talks that get a room thinking differently about how they work together. For conferences, all hands and leadership, offsites.
