DREAM BIG.

ACT NOW.

HI, I'M NIKKI

I'm a serial entrepreneur, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and leading expert in helping people adapt to change and accelerate success.

I've won numerous awards, including Entrepreneur of the Year by ACE, named as an EY North America Entrepreneurial Winning Woman, honored as one of the 21 Leaders for the 21st Century, recognized as Entrepreneur Magazine's 100 Most Influential Women, LA Woman of Influence by The Business Journals, and Women of Entrepreneurship by LA Lakers.

In my 25-year career, I've helped global brands transform their culture and capabilities. Now I'm on a mission to help business leaders reinvent the way they lead, live, and succeed.

MY STORY

It was a warm, sunny day in June 1997 when I stepped foot in America for the first time. As an immigrant from India, I had a heart full of hope and a suitcase filled with dreams.

Little did I know back then how many obstacles I’d have to overcome to make those dreams come true - from adapting to a new society, to learning new norms and etiquette, to building entirely new skills - every challenge helped me grow into my future self.

But the hardest challenge was my struggle to fit in. I checked many boxes of diversity but felt like I was on the outside of every inner circle. In my desperation to belong, I changed myself to fit into a box defined by others. The more I became like everyone else, the less of me there was to see.

My transformation began when I stopped trying to fit into someone else’s world and started being myself - unapologetically. That’s what helped me stand up for myself, navigate my career successfully, and achieve my ambitions.

I didn’t just get a seat at the table, I built my own table!

MY PURPOSE

I believe we are all limitless, and I lead my life committed to inspiring others to live up to their highest potential.

The struggles in my journey made me realize that I am not alone.

Ask yourself what if you could get where you are today in half the time without double the effort. How might your life be different?

Stop playing by other people’s rules or trying to win games that were never designed for you. It's liberating when you realize that what makes you different is what makes you special.

When you own your power, you empower others too. Celebrate who you are AND who you are becoming every day. Make authenticity your activism.

MY VALUES

Dream Big. Choose faith over fear.
Obsess about your big dreams and bold vision. Gain clarity on what you want and why it matters. Let your vision propel you forward and inspire others to join you.

Act Now. Choose imperfection over inaction.
Perfectionism causes overthinking and overwhelm. Take that first step forward and then improvise. Action creates momentum. Momentum fuels confidence.

Grow Everyday. Choose change over certainty.
Make learning your superpower and shift from all knowing to always learning. Remember, the next version of you is even better.

Lead Courageously. Choose impact over inertia.
Disappointments are inevitable. But living with regret is avoidable. Stop worrying about what could go wrong. Start focusing on what happens when it goes right.
