"mesmerizing and incredibly thought-provoking"

"Nikki engages audiences with her effortless style of disarming humor and obvious integrity; she's both mesmerizing and incredibly thought-provoking. Our conference reaches hundreds of thousands of people across the world and her contributions continue to attract very positive feedback even one year later."
