Trina’s clean, clever, customized comedy is perfect for after-dinner and banquet events. Her entertaining keynote uses parts of her comedy act to get you to “Get Your S.H.I.N.E. Together!” so you can Live Life—Lite! She developed an innovative communication technique— The S.H.I.N.E. System--that smashes technology with a human-touch to smooth the multi-generational workforce gap. Trina’s break-out sessions and keynotes are an antidote to anxiety, letting you laugh through the lean times, while lowering your stress levels.
Trina is a veteran of over 13 years in the world of stand-up comedy. She now calls herself a humorist because they make more money. Theoretically. And because being a humorist speaker offers her more opportunities to bring humor and laughter to a place that desperately needs it: the world of work.
“Professionals can’t be seen laughing at certain jokes in comedy clubs. Unfortunately that’s the only place we think is appropriate for humor. Research shows that a lighter work environment promotes innovation, employee morale, leaders’ credibility, and ultimately a better bottom line,” Trina says.
The good news is that we can add humor to our work lives—the place where most of us spend most of our time. We can break out of our cocoon of perfectionism and make our work lives less stressful and more fun. “We are all naturally funny. We just have to recognize our unique sense of humor, and then unleash it. When we don’t honor our own personal style of humor, we lose. A lot. We lose the chance to make a human connection in a technology-saturated world. We lose the chance to stand out in an entertaining and memorable way. Ultimately we lose the chance to make ourselves more marketable and compelling.”
Trina’s unique brand of humor and keen wit will get you to see the absurdity of real-life. Clients have said that Trina is a “natural fit” and they “would not hesitate to have her back again.” World champion speakers have called her a “very talented performer,” and say her timing is “excellent,” her presentation skills “impeccable”.
Trina graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, a fine but little-known institution that produced Olympic gold medalist and WWE star Kurt Angle. (He asked her if he could borrow a pencil from her during psychology class; she is still waiting to get it back). She earned an M.A. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and recently completed her doctoral degree at Penn State in Adult and Workforce Education. She plans to add to her keynote one of her research findings on humor as a coping mechanism during transitions.
