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.

Managing Director - Altitude Recruitment

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!

Anita Patel
Director, Owner - Apex Promotions

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

This Emotional Intelligence workshop was invaluable. I learnt so much about myself, and came away with definite areas for improvement. Even though I considered myself to have a fairly strong EQ going into the course, I learnt through the course that EQ is much more than just having an understanding of how people may feel in a certain situation, or knowing what not to say to a person so they don’t feel bad. It’s also about understanding our own emotions and how we behave and react when put in certain situations, and of course Nicole gave us the tools to help!


Nicole was an excellent facilitator, she was able to adapt to everyone’s needs, and knew how to ensure that each person gained as much as possible from completing the course. I highly recommend Nicole’s EQ Course to everybody. Our business will absolutely be running this course again.

I can highly recommend Nicole! As a business coach she understands my business, what works and what doesn’t work. She gives advice and encourages me every day to do better to think clearly to act and to be accountable.


I cannot thank her enough for what she means to me and to have her as part of my support! Nicole is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and supportive and she knows when to push and when to let go.

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.

Gillian Lynn
Independent Consultant - EC Credit Control

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!

Dean Gomes
SME fleet and leasing leader

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.
