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.

I've had the pleasure of working with Nicole for over 1.5 years, and she has truly changed my life—not just on a business level but personally as well. When you're a small business owner, it’s hard to separate the two, and Nicole understands that balance perfectly. When we first started working together, I didn’t realise how little structure I had in place. Nicole guided me through improving my processes, setting KPIs, and building stronger customer relations.Her knowledge and approachable nature made all the difference. She has a way of helping you figure things out on your own, while providing the right guidance along the way. Thanks to her, my business has transformed, and I’ve grown immensely as a person. I can’t recommend Nicole highly enough!

Nicole and Tikumu Consulting is the reason why we are still in business! MASSIVE statement right? These words are a testament to the service, guidance and support Nicole gave me through a pretty tough personal time that had a direct impact on my business Brandstorm. To say she successfully navigated Brandstorm through some great highs and epic lows is a understatement. Brandstorm invested in monthly coaching, support and development for almost a year.

Nicole took us back to the beginning, stripped out why we are in business and then helped develop a plan to kickstart and revive Brandstorm, holding us accountable for monthly objectives that help us grow, not only financially but personally. We are super excited to offer this insight and can’t speak more highly about Nicole… LOVE your work and we look forward as always to our continued working relationship.

Nicole has helped coach/mentor me over the past year to address certain issues that were starting to impact on my 20 years @ this company. Nicole has been able to listen, encourage & provide direction in key areas of both my private/business life which I hadn’t been addressing or had felt needed addressing.

Work place pressures over time & Covid have provided some interesting situations that I hadn’t realised were in play & I now feel a lot more confident that I can deal with these particular scenarios if & when they happen again.

Nicole has also helped me to see different ways of dealing with issues so that I can provide self-analysis & more adequately deal with issues if & when they arise.

My work/Life balance is now a lot more balanced so that I can enjoy both & my family certainly appreciates some of these changes.

I would thoroughly recommend working with Nicole to help improve in any areas that you think require change or refining.

I started the Bricks and Mortar Business Challenge knowing that I needed someone to work alongside me to condense my business ideas and put them into a workable plan. As an accountant I can prepare the numbers but I am not very disciplined at documenting the other bits that create a successful business. I retain my ideas in my head and by working with Nicole she was able to extract those ideas and put them on paper. I found the business challenge was exactly what I needed as it made me look into my business in depth and define what I really wanted to achieve. I have really enjoyed working with Nicole and the benefits have been immense. Her coaching style is very professional and she is disciplined in keeping you on task and also has a keen interest in seeing you achieve your goals. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Nicole.

Nicole’s people skills and her ability to provide inputs to project teams are of the highest order, and she always exhibits unquestionable integrity and work ethic, which made for a trusting and highly productive relationship

Nicole is such a talented business coach with a perfect combination of qualities and I would not hesitate to recommend her. She is professional, sincere, warm and does an amazing job of listening to you and therefore being able to tailor her coaching services to ensure that you meet the objectives she helps you to define. I have come away from my series of sessions feeling so much lighter, more focused, with some direction and excitement about the path ahead. Thank you Nicole!

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.

I am a passionate fire protection expert, with very little formal education or training when it comes to running a business. I was introduced to Nicole around 9 months ago by a friend. At that time, I was massively overwhelmed with my workload and struggling to make any critical strategic decisions to aid the growth of my company. Since our introduction, I have made some major business decisions and I credit Nicole for giving me the confidence to make these decisions myself. The past 9 months have been some of the hardest I’ve experienced, but Nicole has always been at the end of the phone at all hours, offering sound advice and support and going the extra mile without asking for a single cent in additional compensation.

I would recommend Nicole as a coach without a seconds hesitation. If you are looking for someone to help you realise your potential as a business owner, you could not do better than to make use of her exceptional skills, abilities and personal qualities.

I was lacking direction and motivation with my business and feeling overwhelmed and stressed with trying to run a business. Nicole was great at coming in and helping me to look at all aspects of my life, identifying my mental blocks and giving me some strategies to put things into perspective and allow the work to flow again. I can now plan better and write my daily, weekly and monthly goals down which allows me to free up space in my head and work towards achieving those goals.

I found her to be a great listener and communicator and she is really passionate about seeing improvements in her customers wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with running their business or just running life in general!
