Testimonials

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicole as my business coach, and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s so knowledgeable, supportive, and easy to talk to. Her guidance gave me clarity and confidence, and she really helped me push past some of the challenges I was facing within my company. Even whilst I was away on holiday she was overseeing the Operations Manager on a weekly basis and assisted with issues that arose to enable me to have some time away. She’s not just a coach—she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to help you succeed. If you’re looking for someone who’s got your back and knows their stuff, I am more than happy to recommend Nicole. She is amazing!”

I've had Nicole as my business coach over the last couple of years and we have also worked together on a few clients. Her expertise and knowledge in business strategy and coaching is exceptional. She is always 100% committed to giving her best and making sure her clients achieve excellence. Nicole is a person of absolute integrity and her ability to show empathy consistently shows she is genuinely interested in her clients wellbeing. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicole if you need help or direction in your business.

Owner - Marketing Architects

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.

I highly recommend Nicole especially if you are stuck, feel lost and have no idea what the next step is to take. During my first session with Nicole I was in tears of frustration. After just a few sessions I finally felt a weight lift off of my shoulders and gained clarity which enabled me to take the next step in my life with confidence. I feel this huge sense of empowerment and have developed confidence in who I am and what it is I want in life. I absolutely could not have achieved this with out Nicole’s guidance and support.

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.

Dipika Chandra
Founder and CEO - Systematic Success

I have had the joy of working with Nicole as my work coach for 7 years. Through a season of changing work roles, new opportunities, and working remotely, Nicole has been an invaluable source of challenge, encouragement, and learning. The tools she used helped me develop a framework that has improved my professional self-awareness, and helped me be better in every area of my work. Among these tools, the Extended DISC profile and the DISC Leadership Profile were particularly impactful. Nicole’s deep knowledge and understanding of the DISC tool meant that it became a cornerstone of our time together, and empowered me to take specific and purposeful steps toward growth. Nicole’s coaching has been a significant and meaningful contribution to my professional development, and I highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend business coaching with Nicole. Some highlights of coaching with Nicole are moving into Women's Hormonal Wellness, DISC profiling and getting those unanswered questions I had in my head on how to move forward in my business answered.

I have made significant progress in my business over the last 4 months of coaching with Nicole than the last 4 years in my business on my own. I now have more clarity and confidence on the actions to take to grow myself and my business - from building my brand, doing more networking and what direction to head in for my business.

I have niched based on her recommendation and now I am clear on who I help and how I can help them. Nicole has helped keep me accountable and provided the support and guidance I've needed for my personal growth and business growth.
