Testimonials
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!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nicole for around 18 months now, and her advice and perspective has been incredibly helpful in both managing a period of disruption in the business, and in prompting positive growth in my own interpersonal management skills and mindset. It’s a truth that through both ego and agenda, at a senior level it is often difficult to get constructive objective advice from within the business. This is where working with a impartial external coach offers such an advantage, allowing issues, challenges and strategies to be viewed through an uncluttered lens, and offering alternative paths to resolution.
My "journey" with Nicole has touched on many areas, however our work around an enhanced staff management mindset in particular has had great success, both tangibly within the business, and also as a satisfying source of personal growth. Never pushy, but always engagingly "on point" and professionally challenging, Nicole really has taught this old dog some new tricks!
Self-employed people are tough but even we need a helping hand from time to time. Nicole was the person who helped me end a longstanding business partnership that had become stale and unproductive. Over the ensuing 3x years my business doubled and we have a new set of problems to deal with (albeit good ones). Nicole is legit and you’re welcome to message me if you want to double check.
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’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 absolutely recommend Nicole Coyne as a business coach. Our sessions have covered a wide range of topics, and have been hugely educational for me as a business owner. I always look forward to my coaching sessions with Nicole because I have absolute confidence that while she will hold me accountable, she’ll do so in a positive and supportive way that helps me to move forward. She has been instrumental in my shaping my business, improving business practices, and helping me to decide on pathways for my career. For anyone who has been considering whether to take on a mentor, Nicole is an excellent choice.
Prior to my time working with Nicole, I had tried several different business programs that all promised the same result – increased sales. However, when it came to implementing their top technique to achieve sales, I failed miserably every time. Cold calling had never been my area of expertise, this all changed however when I started working with Nicole of Tikumu Consulting. In our regularly sessions, Nicole unpacked the art of discovery of what I either as Chartered Accountant or Business Advisor should be asking prospective client as open ended questions in order that I put them at ease and feel that their problems are not unique but by working together they would come out with both a healthier business but also more fully informed
Now 3 months on from our original coaching session, my mindset towards cold calling has shifted and my approach to undertaking a cold call feels a lot more authentic, which has resulted in an increase in sales turnover.
Throughout the process Nicole was encouraging, patient and always willing to offer alternative approaches to reach an outcome that I was comfortable to adopt.
