The information that could protect your organization may never reach the people who need it most. Nicole Vaughan has seen firsthand how information can be filtered, reshaped, or stopped as it moves through an organization—leaving CEOs and boards unaware of risks developing beneath them.

You’ll hear why trusting your leadership team isn’t always enough, how hierarchy and self-preservation can distort what reaches the top, and why external employee feedback may contain warning signs long before a problem becomes a crisis. Nicole also explains how her company’s AI-powered platform, Walk the Floors, surfaces signals from external employee feedback that leaders might otherwise miss—and gives them an opportunity to act before those signals become bigger problems.

Nicole has spent two decades building high-performing teams, launching new ventures, and advising companies—experiences that have given her a firsthand view of what can happen when there’s a gap between what senior leaders believe is happening in an organization and what employees are actually experiencing.

Today, Nicole is the founder and CEO of myCandr, where she’s bringing together her experience as a senior leader and entrepreneur with the power of AI to help CEOs and boards uncover organizational risks and blind spots they might otherwise miss.

At the heart of Nicole’s work are three values that say a lot about how she approaches leadership: Curiosity. Candor. Courage.  

 You’ll discover

  • Why critical information often never reaches senior leaders
  • How self-preservation can distort what leaders are told
  • Why external employee feedback can reveal hidden risks
  • How independent oversight helps you verify internal information
  • How early warning signals give you time to act
