Build a Business That Matches Your Vision and Pays You Well
Strategic, human-first support for ambitious language education founders re-shaping the industry without abandoning themselves.
You’ve built something brilliant. Now what?
You’re no longer a beginner. You’ve got clients, programs, income. But behind the scenes, it’s starting to feel heavier than it should.
You’re still the one holding it all together. You’ve outgrown generic business advice and the DIY phase… but not quite landed in a new one.
You don’t want a marketing formula.
You don’t want to hustle harder.
You don’t need saving.
You just want someone to help you see your language business clearly so you can lead it with less noise and more vision.
You’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Ola Kowalska!
Former teacher, teacher trainer, academic manager, school owner and now strategic consultant and nervous-system aware coach for visionary language business owners across the globe.
I’ve worked with hundreds of educators and founders to reshape the way we build and lead businesses, especially in the education space.
My work is equal parts audacity and tenderness. It blends real, grounded business strategy with deep understanding of how our bodies and brains actually work. Especially in a female-dominated, under-resourced, values-heavy industry.
I’m here to help you scale without self-abandonment.
I’m here to help you sell like a human.
I’m here to help you remember that your ambition doesn’t make you too much and your exhaustion isn’t a weakness.
Before working with Ola, I had been building my business for five years. I was constantly exhausted, runing on to do lists... I didn’t know how to truly scale. Deep down, I knew I was meant for more, that I wanted to be number one in the world… but I couldn’t see how without wanting to stop everything every few months.
Working with Ola changed really everything. She helped me reconnect with my vision and believe in it again but this time, from a place of calm and inner power. I learned about the nervous system, emotional capacity, and what it truly means to lead from regulation, not pressure. I don’t just understand it now, I feel it in my body. And with 2 small kids its a life saving approach!
Today, I’m working less than 10 hours a week and doing only what I truly want to do, 100%. I no longer build my business from fear or pretending to be someone else. I’m fully myself, I stand behind my decisions, I communicate clearly, and my team actually thanks me for the changes I make even when it means closing offers or paying them temporarily less.
The strategy part suddenly feels easy, because we did the deep inner work first. I’m endlessly grateful to Ola because with her, I stopped surviving as a business owner… and started leading as the visionary I was always meant to be.
