Through her experience in technology management and consulting including 20+ years of work as a computer programmer and 10 years as a cyber intelligence analyst, Trina has seen how minor miscommunications at work can lead to major problems.   She now works with small and medium-sized organizations to help them use secure communication technology solutions to elevate their operations.

Have your list of requirements of what you need ready to go.   Organizations cannot afford to not think about their technology: Retention, engagement, even supporter/client acquisition will suffer if your technology does not work with and for you.     Useful Links:   Trina L.

Most of us have been using virtual meetings a lot more this year, for obvious reasons. But how we can make our work Zoom calls more fun and memorable? Our returning guest Trina L. Martin joined us to share some creative ideas to spice up your professional meetings this holiday season.The last time we spoke with Trina, we discussed how to get the most from your multiple work systems - especially now that so many of us are working from home. We talked about connecting on Zoom calls with everyone from your co-workers to your family members. Today, we build on that conversation to uncover fun ways to make connect with your colleagues over virtual meetings. First, we thought up unique ways to make work meetings more engaging and increase participation in them - even though they're virtual. It might seem difficult to keep engagement up with all the home distractions and our ability to mute ourselves and turn off our cameras. However, if we're creative, we can keep our colleagues' attention and encourage active participation. Next, we shared ideas on how we can get that socializing aspect in, even when we're all working from our separate homes. Just because we're all in different locations doesn't mean we can't let loose and have a good time with our co-workers! Believe it or not, we can still have a nice holiday party via Zoom. Many of these ideas are geared towards the end-of-the-year atmosphere of December, but most of them can be adapted year-round. Try them out and let us know how they went! And please share any ideas you have - we'd love to hear them and incorporate them ourselves! To learn more about Trina L.

She was brought up in a turbulent household and a verbally abusive mother. She was determined to try and get away and create a future for herself and went to university and started a career in the military. This career led her to travel all over the world and soon found that she loved leading and inspiring people. She wanted to take her experience from her childhood to inspire people. Trina is still in the reserves part time. Trina’s book is about self help and transformation about her life and how it can help to motivate and empower people to push through their limiting self-beliefs. Changing your mindset is the first step in changing your life. This is living in intention and she talks about this in her book. Trina has advice about looking within yourself to get through the limiting self beliefs. She talks about creating a vision/mission statement for your life. The vision statement is what you want to achieve and the mission statement is how to achieve it. This is the self healing and self improvement to better yourself, according to Trina. Trina also recommends digital detox to clear her head and to think about who she really is and spend that time by not being labeled by any one thing. It can be confronting but it is a chance to be empowered and bring about positive self talk. Anything that gives you the strength to keep moving to help you with your negative self talk can help. Trina’s day starts early and finishes late but she loves being in service to other people. Trina’s definition of happiness is having peace of mind and being stress-free. Trina’s routine is starting with a gratitude prayer and letting her dog out. Trina things that make her heart sing are her two children, her passion for serving others, a nice glass of wine. Trina’s fantasy meal would be food from a restaurant called Houston’s including bbq ribs and a artichoke and spinach dip. Trina’s favourite book would be “Woman thou art loosed” by T D Jakes it talks about the chains that bind us and women empowerment. Her book: From A Mess to Amazing. Two days a week Trina does Pilates and the other days she lifts weights and uses a rower. 15 mins a day is a minimum of exercise she does because it gets her started and releases any stress and sets the tone for her day. The most important thing people can do for their health is listening to their body according to Trina. Trina’s eldest brother is her inspiration and says he’s her idol. Her fantasy dinner guests would be Oprah and Michelle Obama. Her theme song would be “I’m coming out” by Diana Ross as it’s uplifting and a happy song. Trina enjoys her laugh out loud moments and how it makes you feel on the inside and it’s a reminder that brings you back to the present moment. Being in tune to yourself is the best thing Trina can recommend for people.   Things discussed trinalmartin.com Twitter: @TrinaLMartin Podcasts: Trina Talks Facebook: Trina L Martin You Tube: Trina L Martin  

Paul Interviews Trina L. Martin, motivational speaker who inspires emerging leaders to pursue their wildest dreams with heart and grit. An accomplished and dedicated member of the U.S. military for nearly 30 years, she has broken barriers and made strides in her career that many said weren’t possible. Her new mission is to show others how they, too, can achieve the impossible and define success on their own terms. A native of Chicago, IL, Trina grew up watching her mother struggle financially to take care of the family. She dreamed of attending college one day, but knew she’d have to find a way to achieve that goal on her own, due to the lack of support and resources at home. With unwavering determination, she enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the reserves to put herself through school at Alabama A&M University. Both of these choices fueled Trina’s desire to succeed and revealed the depths of her resiliency. After several years in the Army, Trina transferred to the Navy, and earned an MBA degree from Western International University. Naturally skilled at finding the harmony between technology, science, and data, she has led a stellar career in the Information Technology field and as an Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Navy.  Trina has pierced the glass ceiling and excelled in positions typically held by men. As a speaker, she takes a refreshingly honest and relatable approach to teaching student leaders, new professionals, and women how to develop the confidence they need to do the same. Based in Houston, TX, when she’s not helping others realize their full potential in the office or on a stage, the role she values most is that of mom to her two children.

2-Minute Tip: Cross the Screw It Line   We can prepare and prepare all we want, but at a certain point before a talk, we’ve done all that we can do.   The anxiety we may feel in going out on stage is less helpful on stage.   There comes a point, where we just have to say to ourselves, “Screw it.” (Or a less family friendly version of that). At that point it’s time to go execute. You’ve done everything you could to be ready. Once you get to that line, you have to trust that you’ve done enough.   And if not? Well, screw it. You’ve got a job to do.   Post Tip discussion: Meet Phil Johnson   I like talking with comedians because they are not just interesting people to chat with. The one-on-one conversations may not be the laugh-fest you might think, especially considering how many are introverts.   But I really like talking with them because comedy is such a precise craft. It involves understanding language, timing, and storytelling at a deep level.   Most public speakers understand these topics at a basic level, but we can be successful by wielding them in broad strokes — almost clumsily. Sometimes we can land our points and message like we are using a paint roller.   Comedians however, can’t use a paint roller. They have to use a fine tip touch up brush because their success relies on precise timing, wording and even emphasizing the right syllable. So there’s a lot we can learn from them.   Bio   Phil Johnson is a man who gets mistaken for a woman, but only by those not paying attention. That revelation kicks off a battle for self-awareness where comedy and music are the weapons of choice. It’s a battle that has taken Phil to such esteemed festivals as the Edinburgh Fringe and Sundance Film Festivals and the Top 8 Finals of the World Series of Comedy. “I’ve always been the guy who isn’t quite what people expect,” says Phil. Using that experience, Phil pokes holes in the medical marijuana argument, discusses being a white guy at a hip hop show (and the innocent gestures that can get him in trouble), and reveals why Hawaii isn’t the paradise we think it is.   From Shakespearean bees to redneck vampires to anthropomorphic cell phones with weight issues, Phil Johnson fills the stage with quirky characters that combine social satire with absurdist flights of fancy. Then the guitar comes out and kicks the show into an even higher gear with songs about the bright future (and dark past) of babies and what he would do if he woke up one morning as an actual woman.   On stage, Phil’s playful humor and likeable, endearing manner allow him to shake things up without antagonizing the audience. In the end we can only be who we are, try to understand others, and hope they understand us.   RA Curtain CallRoadside Attraction comes from leader Phil Johnson’s twin careers in music and comedy. “The idea here is songs that are musically interesting and challenging, but also funny, and understandable by a casual music listener,” says Johnson. It’s more eclectic than Stephen Lynch, funnier than Prince, and more palatable than Frank Zappa, though influences of all three abound.   “Afrodizzyac” is their take on Blaxploitation film themes. This one is about an international super spy (Afrodizzyac) saving the women of the world from his archenemy, Left Nut. “Brown Ring Around The Collar” is a happy tirade about the stupid people we meet every day. And “Hella Good Day” is Phil Johnson’s own musing on what would make his perfect day. “I wrote it during a really bad day and it helped cheer me up. I don’t expect people to personally relate to each lyric. But I hope it will make them think about what would make them happier.”   Two of the greatest forms of release are live music and a hearty laugh. And Roadside Attraction delivers in spades as evidenced by the audience of young and old, and every ethnicity you’ll find in the audience. Roadside Attraction play by their own rules, and doing everything they can to help you loosen up.   Phil’s Upcoming Tour Dates   Here’s where you can see Phil in June 2019.     For more appearances, check out the list on his website here.   Phil in Action   These videos highlight Phil’s comedy. You might not want to play them loudly in your office.         Other Conversations with Comedians Way back in Episode 3, I talked with my good friend Jon Clarke about his experience as a musician, comedian and advertising creative.   You can find that here.   In Episode 62, I spoke with British comedian, host, and podcaster Iszi Lawrence about the power of storytelling.   You can find that episode here.   Trina Talks Podcast   I had the privilege of being the first man to appear on the Trina Talks podcast.   Trina Talks is a podcast with inspirational talk based on wisdom gained through Trina’s life experiences for women who want motivation and inspiration to go to the next level in their lives, whether personal or professional.

This article was sponsored by NeuroLutions for the benefit of the stroke community. A Break from the Journey Recovery from stroke is a marathon, not a sprint. You've probably heard or read that before. It's a journey. It's a unique one because every stroke is different, and every stroke survivor is different. We are all on our own trip. But we're not doing it by ourselves. Many of us are lucky enough to be joined by our caregivers and medical teams. Plus, while our journeys are different, they do intersect. As we go down the road of recovery, we meet other folks on their own journeys and at different points in their journeys. At these way stations, we share tips. We share laughs. We share experiences. And we just share. In this episode we have one of those chats as we sit around the proverbial road side camp fire with 3 survivors at different points in their journey. As of June 3, I am 2 years into my recovery working to regain motor function. I'm joined by Peter and Ria. Peter is about 21 months into his journey working on his cognitive and emotional skills. Melia and Kerry also join us. They been on this road longer than the rest of us. Kerry is now about 5 years along his voyage as he and Melia work on his cognitive and motor skills. So take a short break from the road and join us for the largest panel on a Strokecast episode to date as we ask and answer, "Where are we now?" Melia and Kerry Wilkinson Kerry Wilkinson had a hemorrhagic stroke 5 years ago in 2014. Melia, his wife, became his primary caregiver and aggressively drove his recovery ensuring he got the medical support he needed. She's been sharing her insights in blog posts on the Strokecast website. Melia grew up in Maryland and has a degree in economics, which she has never used. Immediately after college, she spent a year in Japan teaching English and learning that she didn’t want to be a teacher. She and her husband met on the East Coast but eventually moved to the Pacific Northwest for his job in computer games – and for the great coffee! While knowing very little about strokes, neuro recovery or even blood pressure, Melia quickly became an expert and an advocate and has strong opinions on how we can better help caregivers and fine tune and personalize therapy for stroke survivors. She and her family are lifelong nerds enjoying Emerald City Comic Con, Doctor Who and anything to do with a super hero. Watching her husband thrive and her daughter prosper does allow her to see the real heroes in her life and makes the hard days better. We met Melia in Episode 64. You can also read her blogposts at http://Strokecast.com/Melia Peter and Ria Evans Peter Evans had his hemorrhagic stroke in the fall of 2017. Ria, his wife, became his primary caregiver and together they navigated the new emotional landscape of post-stroke life. They've candidly shared their story of mental health and emotional struggles with us in prior episodes and blog posts. Like many others, Peter first came to LA hoping to break into acting in film and television, and it was that which brought Peter and Ria together when they worked together on her cable public access TV show and a feature film they both produced on the set of which he says they fell in love. “She may have stolen my heart,” he says, “but what she gave me back in love and support over these past 20 years, on balance I feel like I’m a millionaire—Definitely feel like I came out a huge winner on that deal, the day I met Ria!” Peter continues to this day contributing on-line content for Stroke resources and putting his years of Project Management to good use, paying it forward to all his fellow stroke survivors. We heard from Peter and Ria in episode 60 and episode 67. You can read Peter's blog posts here. Discovering New Deficits Another thing that we touch on that I want to call attention to is the idea that as we recover, we discover new deficits. As I mentioned in the conversation, I've recently discovered I don't have ulnar or radial deviation -- I can't move my wrist left or right. It's not that I've lost any capability. Just the opposite in fact. As I've recovered bigger things, I start to discover things that previously flew under the radar. That's a good thing. Power of Hobbies We also got into a conversation about hobbies -- 3D Printing and older computer challenges from the 90s. And as we started to go into that rabbit hole (I did cut some of it) it wasn't so much about stroke or disability. Just about stuff we are interested in. And that's important because while it does have a big impact on our lives, our lives are still so much more than just stroke survival. I don't talk too much about the rest of my life on the show because the show is specifically about stroke world. But it's so important for survivors to get involved in other things they are interested in. And the added benefit is the aid a bobby can be in recovery. Just look at Kerry's experience with 3D Printing. And for caregivers, too, it's important. Caregiver are still must still be able to have their own life and hobbies. And if you can't imagine doing stuff after stroke, talk to the OT. Talk to Rec therapists. Talk to other survivors and caregivers. There are an amazing number of unexpected solutions out there.

That makes today my second, second birthday -- my 2-year Strokeaversary. I'll be talking about that in greater detail next episode, but for now I'll just say I'm grateful for all the support I've gotten over the past 2 years, for the progress that I've made, and the future that is yet to come. You can hear some of my thoughts in this Facebook Live video I shot in the afternoon of June 3, 2019. In summary, I'm happy to still be here.   Hack of the Week Stand off center while doing dishes. When I do dishes, I tend to make a mess and get water on the floor and the counter. Granted that happened before the stroke, too, but it happens even more now. And I splash myself more as I do this one handed. I'm used to standing in front of the faucet, centered on the sink. But really, that's a legacy of the days when I used to do dishes with 2 hands, and both had to have access to the sink. I recently realized I don't have to do that anymore. Now when I do dishes, I stand a step to the left. That means, my right, unaffected arm and shoulder are now centered to the faucet. The one working hand has full access to the sink. The weak left is out of the way, and I don't splash my clothes nearly as much anymore. Part of living with disabilities is figuring out what I used to do to accommodate two hands and that I no longer need to do that in the same way. Where do go from here?
