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!

As an instructor, she ranks amongst the best that I have had the privilege to work alongside, and as a supervisor she commands the respect and love of her subordinates.

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.

Prior to my time working with Nicole, I had tried several different business programs that all promised the same result – increased sales. However, when it came to implementing their top technique to achieve sales, I failed miserably every time. Cold calling had never been my area of expertise, this all changed however when I started working with Nicole of Tikumu Consulting. In our regularly sessions, Nicole unpacked the art of discovery of what I either as Chartered Accountant or Business Advisor should be asking prospective client as open ended questions in order that I put them at ease and feel that their problems are not unique but by working together they would come out with both a healthier business but also more fully informed

Now 3 months on from our original coaching session, my mindset towards cold calling has shifted and my approach to undertaking a cold call feels a lot more authentic, which has resulted in an increase in sales turnover.

Throughout the process Nicole was encouraging, patient and always willing to offer alternative approaches to reach an outcome that I was comfortable to adopt.

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 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.
