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!”

I've had Nicole as my business coach over the last couple of years and we have also worked together on a few clients. Her expertise and knowledge in business strategy and coaching is exceptional. She is always 100% committed to giving her best and making sure her clients achieve excellence. Nicole is a person of absolute integrity and her ability to show empathy consistently shows she is genuinely interested in her clients wellbeing. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicole if you need help or direction in your business.

Right from the start you made it clear to me that this was my process, and while you would be there to coach, mentor and support me, I had to drive the process and own it. You used many different tools and strategies that all helped in different ways. But the best thing you did was to encourage me to take the time to reflect about me. My life, and what I was doing with it and where I wanted to be. Through your gentle but firm questioning you encouraged me to reflect a little deeper about why I do the things I do, and why I don’t do somethings that I should do.

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.

Working with Nicole has opened up my mind to the possibilities that exist when it comes to setting up a small business. Nicole’s coaching style really matched with my learning style, and that’s what helped me grow and learn in an area that is new to me. Each session is thorough, and followed up with an email to confirm the thoughts and ideas from the session. Nicole uses business tasks to keep you focused on your immediate priority, at the same time allowing you to cement the intricate details of your business, as well as reflect on decisions that need to be made. Working with Nicole has been eye opening; she has believed in me and my idea since day one, and that alone has inspired me to keep going, even when I thought I couldn’t. Nicole is thoughtful, helpful, and considerate. Thank you for your professionalism, your confidence, and your honesty.

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.

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.

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!!!!
