# Antonina Makarova
Coach and mental trainer focused on emotional intelligence and the future of leadership.

## About

Antonina Makarova helps organizations rethink leadership for the AI era. She focuses on emotional intelligence and human potential, studying what makes international teams actually work. As a mental trainer and coach, she shows why data-driven decisions alone aren't enough to manage people.

Her work tackles the gap between artificial intelligence and human skills. Drawing on her MBA research into multinational teams, she interviews managers across industries to find the traits that make them resilient to automation. She believes AI can optimize processes, but it takes real human connection to build successful, future-proof organizations.
