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!
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.
Getting a business coach was the best decision I have ever made for my business. When I contacted Nicole I had no idea what to expect and didn’t really understand how she would be able to help me. I had all these ideas and I thought I had a good grip on what I was doing but still felt like I was getting nowhere. Nicole helped me understand how my business works, how I can take what I want my business to look like and actually make it happen. I had no idea what my financial where doing and if you had asked my how much money I was making my answer would have been I don’t know. Now I can look at my business and know exactly what I need to do, exactly where I need to improve and how. She showed and taught me how to run my business to the fullest.
I have never been so happy and never been so organised in my life. I actually have time to spend with my family and I am able to separate my work life and my personal life. I never feel overwhelm with my work as I now plan everything and know exactly what has to be done when. Nicole has really saved my business and has really allowed me to see that I can make something of this and that I can reach my goals. I cannot recommend Nicole more!!!!
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.
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 engaged Nicole initially for a business consultation. I had a specific end goal in mind and an idea of how I wanted to achieve that goal but was looking for some support in reaching it. Whilst working with Nicole I quickly realised that some work needed to be done on a personal front in order to then grow my business ideas. Nicole was able to help me gain some clarity around what my real passion was and how I could turn that into meeting my end goal.
Working with Nicole has kept me accountable and whilst she is empathetic she can also be tough when its needed, I absolutely recommend Nicole’s services to anyone who is wanting some support to find their way forward in both personal and business.
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.
