Testimonials

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.

Managing Director - Altitude Recruitment

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.

I worked with Nicole as my business coach for a series of sessions and she was brilliant. Her approach is very professional, her coaching style is wonderful, she drew out the best in me and allowed me to focus on what was important for my business. She is inspirational, I would highly recommend working with Nicole for your business coaching.

Owner - Online Toolbox

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.

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.

Gillian Lynn
Independent Consultant - EC Credit Control

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.

HR Manager - ORIX New Zealand

At first I was a bit sceptical about a business coach, but decided to give it a try. It has honestly been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Nicole is very easy to work with and is amazing at keeping you on track. Her no nonsense attitude is very good for people like me who tend to procrastinate. Nicole has fantastic ideas and makes you think outside the square. My favorite traits about Nicole are that she is incredibly calm and very logical. I highly Recommend working with Nicole.
