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!

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.

At first I was a bit sceptical about a business coach, but decided to give it a try. It has honestly been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Nicole is very easy to work with and is amazing at keeping you on track. Her no nonsense attitude is very good for people like me who tend to procrastinate. Nicole has fantastic ideas and makes you think outside the square. My favorite traits about Nicole are that she is incredibly calm and very logical. I highly Recommend working with Nicole.

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.

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’ve had the pleasure of working with Nicole for around 18 months now, and her advice and perspective has been incredibly helpful in both managing a period of disruption in the business, and in prompting positive growth in my own interpersonal management skills and mindset. It’s a truth that through both ego and agenda, at a senior level it is often difficult to get constructive objective advice from within the business. This is where working with a impartial external coach offers such an advantage, allowing issues, challenges and strategies to be viewed through an uncluttered lens, and offering alternative paths to resolution.

My "journey" with Nicole has touched on many areas, however our work around an enhanced staff management mindset in particular has had great success, both tangibly within the business, and also as a satisfying source of personal growth. Never pushy, but always engagingly "on point" and professionally challenging, Nicole really has taught this old dog some new tricks!

I was referred to Nicole by a business associate who only had great things to say about Nicole’s service. He was right, from the first coaching session it felt as if a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I had a sense of direction with my business. Nicole asked the right questions and helped me form a complete overview of my business. This objective view enabled me to look into and improve certain aspects of my business that never previously crossed my mind. I highly recommend Nicole’s service!
