Performance reviews and feedback meetings can shape your next 6–12 months at work. Yet too many professionals walk out with vague comments like “keep doing what you’re doing” or “be more confident” and no clear next steps.

In this Career Mastery Live, learn how to turn review conversations into concrete guidance you can act on. You will discover how to prepare with intention, guide the discussion in real time, and close strong so you leave with clarity instead of confusion.

You’ll learn how to:

Pre-plan the outcomes you want so you stay focused and present in the moment
Respond when feedback is vague and turn it into specific actions
Initiate the conversation if your organization does not do formal reviews
Ask smart clarifying questions that reveal what “be more leader-like” really means
Close the meeting so expectations, next steps, and owners are crystal clear
Follow up in a way that builds trust and keeps you top of mind
And more

Whether your review is scheduled, delayed, or not on the calendar at all, this session helps you handle the conversation with confidence and turn it into momentum for your next step.

Take ownership of your review, get the feedback you need, and leave with a plan you can execute.
