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.

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!

Working with the ‘always upbeat’ Nicole, is truly rewarding as well as exciting, interesting and fun. It is a pleasure to work with one who knows her business so intimately and who has such passion for all she does. Her energy and enthusiasm never cease to amaze me. She is an outstanding trainer as I evidenced both in the training room and in the brainstorming and perfecting of the storyboards for our training modules.

Nicole and Tikumu Consulting is the reason why we are still in business! MASSIVE statement right? These words are a testament to the service, guidance and support Nicole gave me through a pretty tough personal time that had a direct impact on my business Brandstorm. To say she successfully navigated Brandstorm through some great highs and epic lows is a understatement. Brandstorm invested in monthly coaching, support and development for almost a year.


Nicole took us back to the beginning, stripped out why we are in business and then helped develop a plan to kickstart and revive Brandstorm, holding us accountable for monthly objectives that help us grow, not only financially but personally. We are super excited to offer this insight and can’t speak more highly about Nicole… LOVE your work and we look forward as always to our continued working relationship.

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.

Founder and CEO - Systematic Success

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.

When I first started with Nicole, I wasn’t 100% sure how much I would gain from our sessions as I felt pretty ‘together’ with just a couple of areas of my life needing some guidance. However, thanks to Nicole’s expertise, what eventuated was a complete journey (for which I was not sure of the route when I started!) that resulted in the reframing of my self-definition as a ‘stay-at-home Mum’ and achieving significant progress in an area of my life that had stagnated for some time. Nicole has a very calm, practical and inspiring style and she has helped me effectively work through some big and interesting decisions. I would highly recommend her as a coach for both the big and small things in your life that need a little external guidance to move forward.

I am a passionate fire protection expert, with very little formal education or training when it comes to running a business. I was introduced to Nicole around 9 months ago by a friend. At that time, I was massively overwhelmed with my workload and struggling to make any critical strategic decisions to aid the growth of my company. Since our introduction, I have made some major business decisions and I credit Nicole for giving me the confidence to make these decisions myself. The past 9 months have been some of the hardest I’ve experienced, but Nicole has always been at the end of the phone at all hours, offering sound advice and support and going the extra mile without asking for a single cent in additional compensation.


I would recommend Nicole as a coach without a seconds hesitation. If you are looking for someone to help you realise your potential as a business owner, you could not do better than to make use of her exceptional skills, abilities and personal qualities.
