Bhavana has spent 25+ years in marketing, advertising, and consulting and, speaking to her friends and colleagues, realized a support system was needed to learn how to negotiate compensation. She wanted to find a way to share lessons and experiences with other women after learning that reluctance to negotiate was one of the reasons for the gender pay gap.
