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!

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.

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.

I engaged Nicole initially for a business consultation. I had a specific end goal in mind and an idea of how I wanted to achieve that goal but was looking for some support in reaching it. Whilst working with Nicole I quickly realised that some work needed to be done on a personal front in order to then grow my business ideas. Nicole was able to help me gain some clarity around what my real passion was and how I could turn that into meeting my end goal.

Working with Nicole has kept me accountable and whilst she is empathetic she can also be tough when its needed, I absolutely recommend Nicole’s services to anyone who is wanting some support to find their way forward in both personal and business.

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.

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!!!!

Nicole has been a huge asset to our business in helping us get on track and also stay on track. Nicole has an amazing ability to be positive and real in all situations and has some real gems to share with her clients. I particularly like that Nicole is able to stretch us without it hurting! I always look forward to our sessions and I come away so positive and with a renewed appreciation for the fact that I love what I do!
