From sketching floor plans of her childhood home with friends and dreaming of towering skylines, Liz Baker always knew she wanted to build something meaningful. Today, as an independent Infrastructure Management Consultant and qualified Civil Engineer, she leads major complex projects in industries where women are still underrepresented. After overcoming an early setback in her career, she rebuilt her path with resilience and determination. In this episode, Liz shares how she balances large-scale project delivery with meaningful community engagement — and why creating psychologically safe teams is key to building lasting impact.
