A Short Story About Leaderbly
I have seen your story in schools around the world. As an exceptional teacher, you've inspired students and have a fabulous reputation for making a difference. You know that you can share your passion and have a wider impact. You've taken on a new challenge – school leadership. Now you realise that the skills and passions that made you a phenomenal educator don't always translate to being an effective leader.
This realisation can leave even the most confident educators feeling like imposters, especially when you look around at peers who seem to be natural, effortless leaders. It can leave you wondering, "Do I have what it takes?"
The truth is that leadership is a set of learnable skills, people are not born leaders. The leaders you are comparing yourself to have invested time into developing the competencies required to drive change, empower teams, and leave a lasting legacy. They have had mentors, training and coaches. You can too.
Leaderbly was founded to help aspiring, new and established leaders to develop the skills, strategies and mindset you need to be a confident and transformative leader that others look to. Your are unique, so I provide a personalised approach to leadership development so that you can meet your career goals.

About Me
Hello, I am Nik and I am the founder of Leaderbly. Leaderbly was born out of the belief that great leadership is learned and everyone can learn leadership skills.
Being born in the UK I did my teaching degree in Cambridge. My leadership journey started in my first teaching position as I took on the IT Coordinator role. Deciding early on that international travel was our ikigai, my husband and I left the UK with a few years teaching experience. We never looked back, traveling the world with our daughter and cats, we have called 8 countries on 4 continents home. My leadership roles have been as diverse as the countries I have lived in, including curriculum coordinator, pastoral coordinator, DSL, Deputy Head and Head of Primary.
Being a lifelong learner, I have completed leadership courses at Harvard, a MA in Educational Leadership and Management as well as a MBA. I have spent years doing the research, so you don't need to. I am here to make your leadership learning easy.
Outside of school I love to be creative and I love anything bright and bold. We still enjoy traveling, now with my teen. I am a cat lover who runs on coffee.
