  • Bhavana explores why self-advocacy is challenging for women at work and in life and how we can take steps to overcome our fears and find the courage to ask for what we want. Studies and life experience reveal that self-advocacy is hard. Especially harder for women. But we have absolutely nothing to lose and so much to gain. In this talk, Bhavana asks us to remember who we once were and what we once dreamed of to challenge our thinking, embrace who we are, and simply imagine what’s possible. Bhavana Bartholf is an award-winning leader and sought-after expert in the field of providing vision and accelerating Digital Transformation for corporations across industries worldwide. Bartholf has over a 20-year diverse career with Microsoft across their customer success, sales, marketing, consulting, and support businesses. Today, she is responsible for advancing technical sales strategy across solution areas to enable digital transformation for Fortune 500 companies. Throughout her career, she has served as a customer focused, transformational leader, innovative technologist, STEM advocate, and ally for women and racial/ethnical minorities (REM). She has a proven track record for building high performing organizations with focus on growing female/REM workforce and is dedicated to driving systemic change to create inclusive work environments. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Her message was a great reminder of self validation. Imagine who you wanted to be- a great way to pause and go back to what you intrinsically want from life, what makes you happy. Recognize your strengths. Work through your weaknesses. Saddle up even if you’re apprehensive. Lean in. Thought provoking.

    Great talk - women of all ages, need to listen and imbibe this into our lives. It is difficult for women to even recognise and pat their own backs for their achievements.. it’s time we live out our successes and share it with our younger generation and motivate them too, on the path of greatness and self advocacy- kudos Bhavana!

    Thanks for sharing. So much truth to “you don’t have anything to loose” if you advocate for yourself. We as women are always the champion for others but never for ourselves. Why not try doing that for ourselves.
