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!”
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.
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.
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!
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 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!
