Confidence is not just for extroverts with Berta Sanchez Velar

Berta is an Architect and a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. She moved from her home country, Spain, to Missouri (USA) to pursue her university studies in Architecture and Art History. After working in Kansas for a year she returned to Europe. Wanting to continue practicing architecture in English she moved to London where she has delivered high end residential, school and government projects.

In 2017 she changed her focus to Project Management and joined Mace where she is now an Associate Director leading a team delivering international projects. Her passion for the built environment, learning and options of roles and projects makes her evolution an exciting adventure of self-discovery and challenge.

She is also an introvert who is clear on what that means for confidence.

Profile picture for Vanessa Murphy

Vanessa Murphy

Vanessa is a Strategy and HR Consultant and a Podcast Host.
Vanessa got her first proper job in 1998 when she joined as an Officer in the Royal Navy and then after 15 years doing that, she transitioned into senior HR and Culture roles working for organisations all over the world.
She now has 2 strings to her bow....
Firstly, she is an empath, avid people watcher and she likes to observe people when they were operating with confidence and self-belief and learn strategies, tools and techniques from them. She helps women with confidence at work and her Women In Confidence podcast is a way for her to share her knowledge and her network with a wider audience.

Secondly, she has always been fascinated by what makes a company great to work for and now devotes her time to creating workplaces that not only have impressive performance but are also human centred - hint... they are not mutually exclusive. Her Conversations About Company Culture podcast is her way of sharing ways to build great organisations.
