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!
When I first started with Nicole, I wasn’t 100% sure how much I would gain from our sessions as I felt pretty ‘together’ with just a couple of areas of my life needing some guidance. However, thanks to Nicole’s expertise, what eventuated was a complete journey (for which I was not sure of the route when I started!) that resulted in the reframing of my self-definition as a ‘stay-at-home Mum’ and achieving significant progress in an area of my life that had stagnated for some time. Nicole has a very calm, practical and inspiring style and she has helped me effectively work through some big and interesting decisions. I would highly recommend her as a coach for both the big and small things in your life that need a little external guidance to move forward.
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 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’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.
Nicole has had a few sessions with us now and we always look forward to her return! She is a breath of fresh air and has really enabled us to step outside of ourselves to reflect on where we are and where we’re going individually and as a team. The personal reflection and group discussions following her sessions have been most enlightening and have actually helped our team come together much better. I would highly recommend Nicole for both Business and Life Coaching capacities as we feel our team has benefited substantially from her skills.
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!
