Preparing for Your Performance Review
£5£7
Don't walk into your performance review and rely on your manager remembering everything you've done this year.
They probably don't.
This guide helps you prepare properly so you can talk confidently about your contribution, deal with difficult feedback and leave the conversation knowing exactly where you stand.
You'll learn how to:
build evidence of your impact before the meeting
identify the achievements actually worth discussing
talk about your performance without overselling yourself
prepare for feedback you may disagree with
ask better questions about progression and development
deal with vague feedback
turn the review into specific next steps rather than another forgotten HR exercise
Includes practical preparation exercises and suggested wording for some of the conversations people find hardest.
