Coaching for excellent business performance

We help business owners, operators, managers, and team members build solid business foundations. This includes business best practise, strategy and action planning or enhancing soft skills such as personal effectiveness, communication, time and stress management, emotional intelligence, and self-confidence. As your biggest supporters and objective advisors, we’ll cheer you on, provide guidance, and challenge you when needed to drive your success.
I help business owners get out of the weeds and start leading their business with greater clarity and confidence. I help them identify what really matters, turn strategy into action, strengthen their leadership and team, and stay accountable to consistent implementation—so they can stop firefighting and build a business that works for them.
What makes me different is the combination of business strategy, leadership and real-world experience. I don’t just help you create a plan — I challenge you to look at how you are leading yourself, your people and your business, and then help you turn strategy into action. I’m your objective sounding board, asking the questions others may not and giving you the honest perspective you need to move forward with clarity, confidence and accountability.
Small to medium-sized business owners who have moved beyond the start-up phase and need to step up from working in their business to leading it. I work with business leaders and teams to strengthen and maintain the business, leadership, communication and performance, helping people understand themselves and each other so they can work better together and achieve better results.
1. Making the decisions they’ve been avoiding. 2. Getting out of the daily firefighting. 3. Having the difficult conversations. 4. Knowing what to prioritise. 5. Turning plans into consistent action. 6. Delegating instead of doing everything themselves. 7. Facing the numbers and making better financial decisions. 8. Getting the right people in the right roles. 9. Creating a business that supports their life. 10. Facing the uncomfortable truths holding the business back.
At Tikumu, we equip business leaders and teams to consistently achieve peak performance through tailored one-on-one coaching and dynamic group workshops.

i enjoy the nurturing and honest energy of the group and always come out of a meeting feeling rejuvenated. Woman helping woman is incredibly powerful and seeing your team members grow through positive networking and support is both enriching and motivating.
“Thank you very much for the professional coaching session. I came away from it with a new insight and tools that will help me in a number of areas. You are a great coach! “ ..."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. “ “I would like to say a huge thank you to Nicole for helping me get to where I am today! If anyone is looking for some help in life or business Nicole is fantastic and I highly recommend having a chat with her…” ...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. “ ”Nicole is very professional! Thank you for everything.” “…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…” “…within a very short time of working with Nicole, she had shown herself as an associate of unwaveringly consistent high levels of integrity, discretion and collaboration. Nicole is someone who will always hold a space of respect for those she engages with, whilst being able to hold her boundaries. These attributes are priceless in any organisation…” ‘…As an instructor, she ranks amongst the best that I have had the privilege to work alongside, and as a supervisor she commands the respect and love of her subordinates…’ ..."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.”
