In this deep-dive conversation, Nikki shares her incredible journey from being an outsider at Ernst & Young, told to wear pantyhose and hide her true self, to becoming a celebrated thought leader. She explains how a personal tragedy became the catalyst for her to "flip the script," leading to a life built on authentic leadership.
