Find your lighthouse: Dmytro Trybo's path to his own light
Dmitry Trybo is a person who is difficult to confuse with anyone else. From the first minute of communication, he gives the impression of a calm, balanced, but internally very dynamic person. There is something of the sea in him: outwardly he is quiet and warm, but inside there is a depth that is constantly moving, even when it seems calm. His confidence is not loud, not demonstrative - it is mature, calm, such that it manifests itself in the little things and in the attitude towards people. Dmitry often repeats that he achieved many results thanks to those who were around him, and he says this as if it were an obvious fact, and not the efforts made, the desire to grow and develop, as well as the experience gained along the way.
At work, he is like a tide that always moves forward. When Dmitry moved to the position of support manager of “Garage Equipment”, it was not just a change in the work schedule - it was a new ocean, into which he plunged with his natural curiosity. New tasks, tools, technical processes, operational complexity - all this did not scare, but on the contrary, opened up space for development. "I can sit until the night until I understand how everything works," he says. And this is not about perfectionism. It is about the need to understand every last cog in order to be stronger tomorrow than yesterday.
It was this attention to detail that became the foundation of his development as a speaker. Therefore, when Dmitry was offered to speak at the BBC, he entered the new wave immediately - without hesitation, without waiting for a "convenient moment." At that time, he did not even suspect that the preparation would coincide with the period of changing positions. But instead of dodging, he simply told himself: we need to keep sailing. "My head was boiling, but I was not going to give up," he recalls, and this phrase very accurately explains why this speech became for him not just a work event, but an important stage.
Dmitry prepared at night, when he managed to find an hour of silence. He wrote, rewrote, consulted with colleagues, and looked for ways to make the material light and lively. He was nervous before the speech, but when he started speaking, the nervousness disappeared, like a wave that meets the shore and becomes part of the calm surf. “There’s no time to worry anymore,” he smiles. His delivery is structured, calm, confident, but at the same time warm and open. This combination of technicality and humanity made him a speaker you want to listen to. And that’s why Dmitry became the best speaker of the second quarter of the BBC. Outside of work, Dmitry remains the same: deep, but without excessive drama. For him, the best relaxation is fishing: the silence of the water, fresh air, and the complete absence of fuss. He likes to repair equipment — cars, mopeds, anything with a mechanism: “It’s like Lego for adults.” In winter, he allows himself a little nostalgia — he plays computer games with a friend, like he used to do in a school club. And music in his life is like the wind to the sea: it is always there, changing the mood of the wave, strengthening or, conversely, calming.
His first tattoo, made at 18, is his inner course, his personal compass: “Life is too short to just sail. Find your lighthouse.”
And it seems that Dmytro really lives with this light inside. There is something of a lighthouse in his character: stability, a warm but confident ray that shows the way not only to him, but also to those around him. He does not chase storms, does not look for loud victories. He simply moves towards his light.
There are people who are created to attract attention. And there are those who are created to shine. Dmytro shines as a speaker - because of the clarity of thoughts and the confidence that he conveys to his listeners.
