Let’s be honest, most performance reviews are a tick-the-box exercise. Fill in the form, book the meeting, read it aloud, get a signature… done. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this episode, I unpack how to transform your mid-year or end-of-cycle performance conversations into something meaningful, something that actually matters. We’ll talk about how to make it a real conversation (not a monologue), why there should be no “new news,” and how to balance feedback with forward planning. Plus, I’ll share practical tips to help your team feel seen, supported, and motivated to grow.
If you’ve ever felt a bit awkward or unsure about what to say in a performance review, this episode is perfect for you.
Let’s turn your next review into a leadership moment and not just another meeting.
