195- Preparing for Your Next Performance Review
Episode 195
Monday, 9 March, 2026
Preparing for Your Next Performance Review Imagine walking out of your annual review feeling confident—like you received the exact feedback you needed and have complete clarity on where you're going and what to do next. That outcome doesn't happen by accident. You can prepare for it. How to take control of your next performance review: Identify your top two areas for feedback Choose the two areas where you most want honest input and growth. Build your own self-assessment Evaluate your performance in those areas and define what "excellent" or "perfect" performance would look like. Define success with measurable metrics Have a conversation with your evaluator about what great actually looks like—and translate that into clear, measurable metrics. Agree on how progress will be measured so expectations are transparent and objective. When you approach your review this way, it becomes a collaborative conversation about growth, not just an evaluation. Final challenge: Ask yourself—where are you actually getting the feedback you need to grow? Spend some time this week figuring that out. And if you lead a team, do the same exercise for them. Make sure your people are getting the feedback they need to improve, grow, and succeed.
