          Footwear brand

          I got more done in two months than in the last year

           

          I managed to get through more actions in the last two months, thanks to the strategy day, than I have in the last year and half I’ve been working on this business plan. Nicole was instrumental in helping me define the purpose and vision of my business. Giving me lots of tools and advice I really needed to build my pricing & sales strategy.

          Aoife – Maverick Soul Interiors

          Nicole helped me gain clarity & strengthen strategies. Her insights were invaluable.

           I was in the early stages of my business idea implementation and I felt like I was navigating certain aspects of it blindfolded. I decided to work with Nicole because she is a product-based coach unlike most coaches out there who purely support service-based entrepreneurs. Nicole’s insights were invaluable. She was always reachable when I had any questions. Plus, on a personal level, Nicole is an absolute gem—supportive, positive, and seemed genuinely invested in my success. If you’re looking for someone to help you navigate the entrepreneurial journey with expertise and heart, Nicole is your go-to.

          Beauty Brand

          I have a clear direction of what I need to do to achieve my sales & financial goals.

          Nicole has been amazing to work with. From the start she’s been proactive and always made sure I had a clear plan of action to help me achieve my goals. She helped me to look at my business from a different angle and I now feel much more confident and excited about the future of my business.

          Stationery Brand Coral & Ink

          Working with Nicole has been a game changer for my business

          Her deep understanding of the fashion industry, paired with her ability to hone in on my unique brand vision, was nothing short of magical. She has helped me reconnect with the heart of my work, refining my product offering and developing a strategy that felt both authentic and sustainable. Every conversation (of which there have been many!) left me feeling inspired, motivated and – most importantly – capable.

          She helped us develop a 3yr plan to take us to 7 figures

          If you need help organising your business with an expert in retail then Nicole is your woman. With contacts and ideas galore, I want to put Nicole in my pocket and keep her there!!

          Donna May London- Accessories Brand 

          She made our launch possible

          We wouldn’t be launching our new venture in the coming months without her and have learnt so much from our sessions with her. She is enthusiastic, friendly and so inspiring. Highly recommend her services to any budding entrepreneurs or to existing ones who need creative thinking, expert knowledge and support.
