leadership in education SKILLS
CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER
Leaderbly was created to help people to be
better leaders.
Leadership in education is rewarding—but let’s be honest, it’s not always easy. Whether you’re navigating challenging team dynamics, striving to inspire your staff, or simply trying to keep up with the ever-changing demands of international schools, it’s normal to feel like you’re juggling more than you can handle.
That’s where Leaderbly comes in!
I’m Nicola Holloway, an experienced educator, coach, and global adventurer, here to help you turn complexity into clarity. Together, we’ll find practical, personalised strategies to help you lead with confidence, purpose, and ease.
Untangling the complexity of leadership
Hi, I'm Nicola Holloway
I am on a mission to support emerging, new and established leaders to be the leader they dream of being through personalised professional learning.
I’m an educator, coach and adventurer that has spent the last 15 years exploring leadership through research and lived experience.
I’m also a mum, wife and daughter who balances navigating the world and living in the world of international education with the desire to make, create and learn every day.
ARE YOU FEELING LIKE ...
Let's identify those challenges and frustrations that leaders in education have been told are normal...
Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities
Balancing administrative demands, staff management, and student outcomes can leave education leaders feeling stretched too thin.
The Leadership Lounge offers targeted workshops, practical resources, and expert guidance to simplify leadership, giving you tools to prioritise, delegate, and lead effectively.
Lack of professional support
Leadership can feel isolating, especially in international education where peers may be far away.
The Leadership Lounge connects you with a global network of education leaders, offering a supportive community where you can share insights, gain feedback, and find encouragement.
Navigating constant changes in education
Evolving curriculums, shifting policies, and adapting to new challenges can be overwhelming without a clear strategy.
Through on-demand learning, live masterclasses, and leadership tools, the Leadership Lounge equips you with actionable strategies to navigate change and lead with confidence.

What Clients are saying
Nik has an exceptional ability to create a comfortable and safe environment, making it easy to open up and delve into personal reflections. After just three sessions with her, I felt a profound sense of clarity and lightness. My goals, which once seemed hazy and distant, are now sharp and within reach. Nik's guidance and support have been invaluable in this journey, and I highly recommend her coaching services to anyone looking to gain deeper insights and achieve their aspirations.
The coaching session was truly outstanding. I acquired valuable insights into leveraging data for navigating tough discussions, underscoring the significance of articulating messages effectively. I'm eager to apply this knowledge in my professional environment, where such constructive dialogues can drive decision-making and foster beneficial changes aligned with our common objectives.
Nicola delivered a one to one coaching session with myself at a time when I was considering a big change in my life.
Her friendly manner helped me feel I could open up and explore areas in which I could develop myself and discuss key milestones for how to move forward.
Nicola’s calm approach supported me to identify my obstacles, and gain confidence with next steps.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her coaching skills.
