Before her consulting career, Dhar was a competitive debater and world debate champion. She draws on this experience to provide techniques for productive disagreement and finding common ground in various settings, from family discussions to national conversations. Her TED talks, "How to Disagree Productively and Find Common Ground" and "How to Have Constructive Conversations," have garnered millions of views. Prior to joining Boston Consulting Group, she served as private secretary to New Zealand's deputy prime minister and worked at the UK Cabinet Office.
