About Naily Makangu

avatar-profile
Naily helps start-ups and small businesses sweep up challenges, leaving behind a legacy of happy high-performing teams.

Starting as a Software Engineer, she carved her own path into creating Athena Leaders, a remote-first Management and Leadership consultancy. She is an award-winning Trainer and Leader with several years of experience working in the STEM sector.

Naily has an amazing ability to lead teams and projects, bringing clarity and processes to allow them to sleep better at night. Above all, she promotes a positive culture where leaders are able to grow and people thrive.

Her quest has always been to support the development of strong leaders and bring more laughter and play to organisations, using tools such as the DISC personality profile, other psychometric tools and more.

Where people are heard and supported, positive results are more likely to unfold. It is therefore her mission, as a Business Transformation Consultant, to seek solutions for companies in disarray.

Naily has a proven track record of turning around struggling organisations as well as complex projects and programmes. Her impact portfolio includes taking an organisation from the brink of closure to winning five awards in less than a year. Other awards Naily has achieved include “Most Outstanding Leader”, “Best Trainer in the UK”, and “Best Local Growth & Development Program” in Europe with Junior Chamber International.

What Our Members Have to Say:

“Naily's session with me to understand DISC profiling was great. She asked a lot of insightful questions which has opened how I approach collaborating with others to get the best results.

It changed the way I work to get better results and understand the needs of others around me. She is warm and friendly and draws from her own experiences to help coach and guide you.” ― Lucy Allen - Development Project Manager - Principal Gifts at University of Cambridge Development and Alumni Relations Office
“I participated in a workshop organized by The Optical Society of America. The title of the workshop was Boosting Emotional Intelligence and, Naily was the invited speaker.

I was completely focused and engaged with the speaker and the topic during the workshop. It summarizes very the delivery and the content of the talk.

Naily made a difficult subject and conversation very easy, fun, and engaging, and I completely lost track of time and learned a lot. ” ― Valentyn Stadnytskyi PhD - Applied Optical/Laser Scientist at the Laboratory of Chemical Physics at The National Institutes of Health
“I recently attended one of Naily’s Athena Leaders courses- Workshop for Managers and HR, specifically on remote working.

I’m an early career Research Manager and wanted some help formulating a remote working plan, including team engagement- a particularly topical subject!

I had a great session with Naily, she gave me some very useful tips that will help me effectively manage not only the team work plan, but also my own. I now feel more confident that I can effectively manage remotely and would recommend this course to anyone adapting to a home working environment.

I highly recommend Athena Leaders and I’m looking forward to attending future sessions!” ― Amelia Charbonneau (Research Manager at Xampla)
“I invited Naily to give a training session/workshop on how to present with confidence. The audience was a tough one, 45 Post Doctoral researchers who constantly need to present their work and pitch their ideas.

Naily handled the task great - the 2 hours spent together were very entertaining and informative.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Naily and I would highly recommended her training skills.” ― Dragana Vuckovic (Lecturer in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Imperial College London)
