Testimonials

I recently worked with Nicole as a coach for my business. Before this I did wonder why people would actually use a business coach, now I know why. Nicole has helped be set goals, stay focused on what needed to be done and kept me on track. Whether a start up or growing business Nicole has a superb skillset to help you on your journey to excellence. It is easy to get overwhelmed when in business but having Nicole allowed me to remove the clutter and stay grounded. Highly recommend Nicole as a business coach at any stage of your business.

It was the best decision to partner with Nicole for coaching support at a time when I felt quite stuck. Her ICF accreditation gave me comfort she coaches to a high standard and her professional approach to the coaching partnership was great. She has a relaxing yet pushing coaching style which encouraged me to reflect how I was being and thinking which in turn led to really positive change. She is goal focused and helped me to really focus on and nail my goals. Thanks very much Nicole!

Nicole has been a huge asset to our business in helping us get on track and also stay on track. Nicole has an amazing ability to be positive and real in all situations and has some real gems to share with her clients. I particularly like that Nicole is able to stretch us without it hurting! I always look forward to our sessions and I come away so positive and with a renewed appreciation for the fact that I love what I do!

Nicole is a fantastic coach. I worked with Nicole over a number of months and I love the way that she thinks on the spot to tailor the sessions to suit what is going on for you on the day. She’s so knowledgeable on a wide range of topics and I like the way that she listens and encourages you to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone into a place of growth. I’d highly recommend Nicole as a coach. If you’re ‘stuck’ or looking to reach their goals but need some accountability then contact Nicole

Nicole keeps you on track, holds you accountable and is always available as a sounding board when problems arise, as a solo business owner this was invaluable. Nicole is also very well networked, so able to recommend solutions and trusted people to assist with other areas of the business. I highly recommend working with Nicole.

It is my pleasure to be able to recommend Nicole Coyne as a Professional Business coach/mentor.


ORIX has contracted Nicole to mentor several senior sales managers over the past 4-5 months. We have been very pleased with her level of professionalism and also the outcomes that both we as an organisation and more importantly my colleagues have seen as a result of her assistance. Because of the positive influence we have observed we have decided to extend her contract into the new year. I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Barry Nicholson
General Manager - ORIX New Zealand Limited

Nicole has been so astute with the business advice she has given me for my Auckland retail business. The questionnaire/matrix she used to help me write my Business Plan was excellent. Her follow-up and organisation is prompt and professional. She has a good heart and her enthusiasm for my business really helped me. Her marketing skills are extensive and she connected me with good contacts when I needed other specialist input. I would highly recommend Tikumu Consulting.

Barbara Campbell
Founder and Director - Violette

As a new leader it can be hard to lead and grow a team with different strengths and goals. I didn’t really have a plan and was quite reactive prior to working with Nicole. I am lucky enough to have regular coaching sessions with Nicole for the past 18 months during which I can confidently say that my view on leadership and style has changed for the better. Nicole worked with me and tailored her strategy to coach me based on my aspirations, industry, team and development areas. She is patient and has the unique ability to help someone find the answer without giving them the answer. Every session was unique and a step in the right direction. I feel confident tackling most challenges thanks to Nicole. The greatest compliment was my team acknowledging changes too. Highly recommended coach for anyone!

I came to and what seemed like a brick wall in my business and in particular in the sales area .Nicole was able to ask a series of pertinent questions that unearthed beliefs, patterns of behaviour, values that I had held that were restricting my movement forward to what I had seen in my mind how the year would play out.


She coaches in such a way that makes you think, reflect, even challenging and you go away knowing you have to put the work in so that change can take place. Since our first coaching session I have started a gratitude journal, looked at different ways of building a pipeline of prospects leading into selling, my thinking has changed and I am a lot more relaxed on the journey that I am travelling now. Nicole always checks in with you to follow up on the last coaching session to really see how you are progressing. I am still continuing today to have Nicole challenge me to new heights in business.


Every successful person that I know has a coach speaking into their lives, bringing encouragement and challenge in order to grow into the full potential of what we were put on the earth for. I would thoroughly recommend Nicole to you and your organisation because it is an investment that makes a real difference.
