Strong women don’t wait for doors to open; they build their own. This powerful truth resonates deeply with who I am. I am Loise Makena, a woman of faith and the firstborn daughter in my family. Beyond these foundational roles, I am a sister, a Lady ‘surveyor,’ a Geospatial Engineer, and an Environmental Lawyer.
My journey also extends to being a Lady Director and an interior design enthusiast, always seeking beauty and precision with an eye for detail and a love for fine things. My essence is defined by being vibrant, energetic, confident, a top-tier negotiator, outgoing, and kind.
Whether in church, with family, at the office, or in social halls, I stand tall, perpetually hungry for more.
It is my unwavering choice to no longer be apologetic for my femaleness and my femininity.
My presence consistently commands attention, invariably creating a memorable impact wherever I go. This is often accompanied by a notable aura that precedes me. My laughter, vibrant and resonant, genuinely reflects the sincere warmth of my empathetic disposition.
Challenges are not roadblocks but opportunities for growth; endowed with significant resilience, I recover effectively from them, maintaining an unyielding focus on progress and solutions.
I am a results-oriented individual, flourishing in environments that are clear and direct. My approach leverages intuition and decisive action to drive tangible outcomes.
Open communication is paramount in all my interactions, as I prioritize efficiency and swift decision-making over ambiguity and prolonged deliberation. This proactive mindset, coupled with a solution-focused approach, empowers me to effectively navigate dynamic environments and significantly contribute to positive change.
My professional philosophy is firmly rooted in the principle that proactive engagement is the catalyst for tangible results.
In my leadership roles, I adopt a deeply people-centric methodology. I recognize that the fundamental imperative is to cultivate comprehensive team buy-in to the overarching vision and ensure sustained alignment with strategic objectives. Furthermore, I place considerable emphasis on nurturing robust team cohesion, viewing it as a critical prerequisite for achieving exceptional outcomes.
My commitment to professional development includes a continuous focus on refining my interpersonal skills, enabling me to more effectively support and empower those under my guidance.
Who is Makena beyond the demands of profession and organizational leadership?
As the popular phrase goes,
“Easy does it.”
I cherish taking a back seat to find calm after the storm, both at work and in day-to-day life. During these periods, my moments of tranquility are found in activities such as reading a good book, enjoying a good meal, playing around with golf, and traveling.
I am, truly, an enthusiast of calm moments.
