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!”

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 started the Bricks and Mortar Business Challenge knowing that I needed someone to work alongside me to condense my business ideas and put them into a workable plan. As an accountant I can prepare the numbers but I am not very disciplined at documenting the other bits that create a successful business. I retain my ideas in my head and by working with Nicole she was able to extract those ideas and put them on paper. I found the business challenge was exactly what I needed as it made me look into my business in depth and define what I really wanted to achieve. I have really enjoyed working with Nicole and the benefits have been immense. Her coaching style is very professional and she is disciplined in keeping you on task and also has a keen interest in seeing you achieve your goals. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Nicole.

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 who has been instrumental in the successful setup of my business services and structure. Over the course of our work together, she provided invaluable insights that helped bring clarity and organisation to my vision. Nicole is not only insightful and realistic but also incredibly helpful. Her guidance has empowered me to move forward with confidence, knowing that I have a solid foundation to build upon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a business coach who can transform ideas into reality and provide essential support throughout the journey.

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.

Nicole has an incredible way of getting you to see what is going on without you feeling like you are an idiot! Working with Nicole has been transformative -- I will be taking these skills with me for years to come. If you have a sense that you want more or things could be better but aren’t sure what -- then I recommend Nicole to help you get things sorted.

WOW! Nicole works wonders!


She has a "knack" of pulling out all the "stuff" in your head and helping you formalise it. She has so many suggestions, ways of organising and making sense of your goals, plans and how to go about “making it happen”.


I felt comfortable with her easy manner, professionalism and great communication. I would highly recommend her.
