BOOTCAMP

Review Ready

The free training for mid-career professionals who want to walk into their performance review prepared, confident, and ready to ask for exactly what they've earned.

We all have them but rarely are we shown how to leverage them, so they end up being a niggly task on the to-do-list vs a strategic conversation that confirms your growth trajectory.

I’ve had enough of ambitious people getting surprised at a no or having no clue whether the promotion and progress they are working hard towards is a dream or tangible reality. You deserve better than that. Across the 3 days we’ll close the knowledge gap, create space for your apathy/anger and establish a long-term strategy for being good-at reviews.

1.00-1.45PM DAILY. 30 JUNE - 2 JULY 2026.

You've done the work. You've delivered. You've shown up — often beyond what was asked of you.

And yet, somehow, review season still feels like a gamble.

Maybe you're not sure how to talk about your impact without it sounding like you're bragging. Maybe you've sat across from a manager and left feeling like you undersold yourself — again. Maybe you got a rating that didn't reflect your year and had no idea what to do with that.

Here's the thing: the professionals who consistently get the recognition, the ratings, and the rewards they deserve aren't necessarily working harder than you. They understand how the process actually works — and they prepare accordingly.

That's what Review Ready teaches you.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You work hard all year and still feel underprepared when the review cycle opens. You know you've done good things. You just can't remember half of them when it matters.

  • You write a self-assessment that doesn't do you justice. It's either too modest, too vague, or just a list of things you did. It doesn't tell the story it should.

  • The conversation itself throws you. Whether it's nerves, surprise feedback, or not knowing how to push back — you leave the meeting wishing you'd said more.

  • You get the outcome and don't know what to do with it. Whether it's brilliant news you don't know how to build on, or a disappointing result you don't know how to challenge — the review just… ends.

The reason review season feels hard isn't what you think.

It's not that you're not good enough, it's that no one ever taught you how this process actually works.

Most organisations don't explain the calibration meeting happening before your review. They don't tell you that visibility and advocacy matter as much as output. They don't teach you how to write a self-assessment that actually lands — or how to have a conversation that moves your career forward.

Review Ready closes that gap. Live, in real time, with me.

What we’ll cover each day

  • DAY 1: DECODE THE SYSTEM

    You'll see how performance reviews are really designed and why it matters more than the meeting itself. You'll learn the part visibility plays in your outcome, because doing good work and being seen to do good work are not the same thing. Then you turn that lens on yourself with an honest audit, so you know exactly where you stand before the cycle opens.

  • DAY 2: MAKE THE CASE

    You'll assemble your evidence bank and learn what actually counts as proof, how to quantify your impact even when your role isn't about numbers, and how to stop your best work from going unnoticed. Then you begin to write a self-assessment that's confident without over-claiming, led by impact instead of a list of tasks, and honest about your development areas in a way that builds trust rather than costing you.

  • DAY 3: WALK IN READY

    Let’s get you ready for the conversation. Including how to advocate for yourself without feeling like you're bragging, the questions that show you're thinking like a leader, and how to hold your ground when a rating surprises you or lands wrong. You'll rehearse the three scenarios everyone dreads, so none of them catch you off guard.

Here’s what becomes possible

Imagine walking into your next performance review with a documented case for exactly what you deserve — and the confidence to ask for it without over-explaining yourself.

Imagine leaving the meeting knowing what to do next — whether that's negotiating a pay rise, requesting development investment, or starting to plan your next move.

Imagine never being caught off guard by your own review again.

Review Ready isn't about gaming the system. It's about understanding it and using that understanding to finally get what you've earned.
