Featuring Tracie Kenyon, Executive Development Partner at Humanidei
Thank you for tuning in to episode 64 of The CUInsight Network, with your host, Lauren Culp, Publisher & CEO of CUInsight.com. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.
My guest on today’s show is Tracie Kenyon, Executive Development Partner at Humanidei. Tracie shares her career journey within the credit union industry for the last 38 years. Humanidei works with credit unions to integrate their most important asset- their human capital- into organizational growth plans and talent development. Tracie guides teams in creating a positive company culture where team members can build their skills and career.
During our conversation, Tracie and I chat about the importance of taking care of your team and the value in executive coaching. She gives advice on improving the hiring process and shares three tips to get it right the first time. Tracie explains how the “B” at the end of DEIB stands for belonging, and why it is so important for the culture of an organization. Listen as Tracie talks about building a nurturing and innovative company culture for your credit union team.
As we wrap up the episode, Tracie talks about an impactful leader she’s had in her life, her love of books along with a book recommendation, and her passion for work. Enjoy my conversation with Tracie Kenyon!
