Strivin & Thrivin Ep27. Rebecca Powell - People and Culture Director
This week on Strivin & Thrivin, we speak with Rebecca Powell, People and Culture Director at IntelligenceBank.
Rebecca is a hands-on People and Culture Director with experience spanning from working in Australia’s biggest corporate bookmaker, SportsBet, to start-up companies. Discussing the unexpected twists and turns of her career journey, Rebecca reveals the lessons she has learnt and how she has evolved as a leader.
Rebecca career journey started when she joined SportsBet in 2014. Despite its magnitude, she believes that the constant innovation, change and growth gave SportsBet a start-up feel that she enjoyed. From here she transitioned to a real start-up, describing it as accidental but natural as she discovered that this is where she thrived.
Rebecca’s next move helped her to realise her need to be hands-on. Moving over to BetEasy, a smaller and younger company, Rebecca found a space where she could make a difference.
“I feel it's a lot easier to drive change and have an impact on things in those smaller companies.”
Having been made redundant at the start of the first COVID-19 lockdown, Rebecca seized the opportunity to volunteer for a Not-For-Profit Talent Acquisition & Human Resources company. This work led her to a maternity cover job in a start-up company which ultimately confirmed her enthusiasm for spaces in which she could directly drive change.
Rebecca’s best career advice shines a light on the value she finds in having a practical and positive network of people around her. Quoting her mentor when she was made redundant, Rebecca explains how being told to, “Come out smarter than you came in” forced her to open up to new ideas and ways of thinking.
Rebecca applies critical thinking to her role as People and Culture Director at IntelligenceBank, ensuring she always asks questions, even as a leader.
“It's how you conduct yourself. It's your thought leadership more so than anything else that I think sets one apart.”
To hear more from Rebecca, including her spin on “fake it ‘til you make it”, listen to the latest episode of Strivin and Thrivin now!
