Everything You Need Is Just A Conversation Away - with Tracey Abayeta

The HR Uprising Podcast

Lucinda talks to Tracey Abayeta, an HR director specialising in talent development, about the importance of building strong relationships in career development. Tracey shares her unconventional journey from investment banking to HR, emphasising the role relationships played in her career transitions. She introduces a five-point framework for building relationships, focusing on intentionality, bold and broad connections, sharing information, leading with value, and follow-up.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Know what you want in your career and in your interactions with others. Write down your goals and be clear about your intentions.
• Don't limit yourself to connecting with only like-minded individuals. Reach out to a diverse range of people both internally and externally to broaden your network.
• Be open and proactive in sharing your experiences, strengths, and ideas with others. This can lead to valuable connections and opportunities.
• Focus on how you can help others rather than what you can gain from them. Be a person who adds value to relationships and interactions.
• Be prompt in your follow-ups and maintain momentum in your relationships. Diarise important meetings and interactions to ensure you stay connected and engaged with others.

BEST MOMENTS

"Relationships are currency, like they should be able to buy you certain things”

"Everything you need is a conversation away”

"Strong professional relationships are like bridges, and they will help you cross over to where you need to get to."
