A performance review is a high-stakes conversation about you — and how you handle it shapes your year. The right Business English lets you present your wins, take feedback gracefully, and steer toward what you want next.
Present your wins with evidence
Come with specifics: what you delivered, the impact, and the numbers. 'I led X, which improved Y by Z.' Concrete evidence makes your case for you and takes the awkwardness out of self-promotion.
Take feedback like a pro
Receiving criticism well is a superpower. 'Thank you — can you give me an example so I can work on it?' shows maturity and turns feedback into a growth conversation rather than a defense.
Steer toward your goals
