Trina Metz, Speaker Team Lead
When not mastering single track mountain bike trails with singular passion or adventuring to remote corners of this beautiful planet in search of stories; Trina can be found focused on corporate governance and business ethics as a senior advisor in a multinational corporation. She leads the speaker team at TEDxCalgary. A storyteller herself, Trina knows what it takes to pull out stories from people and reveal the best in themselves. We've seen her hone her skills as a Leadership Calgary program guide over a number of years and as a speaker coach in the first year of TEDxCalgary.
Her ability to make decisions under pressure and analyze situations to position organizations and people in the best manner possible benefits us here at TEDxCalgary. Besides calming errant curators, speakers, and volunteers with her incredible energy, Trina is an acute observer of the human condition. She has an incredible quest quotient and is a first rate adventurer and aspiring writer. If you are lucky, you will cross paths with her and her dog, Ben, in the wilderness of our Rocky Mountains. We are convinced that she has some mad dog energy skills — her pup is one cool dog!
Her favorite TED talk, in line with mastery in storytelling, is by Felix Dennis - odes to vice and consequences.
