How to prepare for a performance review conversation

A performance review is easier when evidence, impact, and aspirations are connected rather than listed separately.

Why this matters

Communication improves when an intention becomes an observable behavior. Roleplay gives you a safe place to notice the moment, test a different choice, and learn without pretending that every conversation can be controlled.

A practice to try

Practice one accomplishment, one learning edge, and one specific request for the next cycle.

Keep the learning human

Use AI feedback as a mirror for patterns, not a verdict on your voice. Bring the experiment into a real conversation, notice the other person’s context, and keep what genuinely improves understanding.

Focus for this repetition: career.
