Impactful Communication: Dr Trina Clayeux Of Give an Hour On 5 Essential Techniques for Becoming an…

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series. Before we dive into our discussion about communication, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path?

I grew up in northern Idaho, spending my time focused on school, sports, and outdoor activities. My brother and I were first-generation college students, which shaped my perspective on opportunities and challenges. My career path has been fairly nontraditional, with leadership roles in workforce development, education and training, affordable housing, and military veteran priorities. In each of these areas, I noticed a common thread: the lack of tailored mental health services and supports, whether in terms of access or care. As a military spouse, I’ve also experienced the full cycle from active service to veteran life, which has given me a deeper understanding of the unique challenges faced by this community. I feel privileged to be in a role and organization where I can affect meaningful change for others.

Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career?
