Summary
If you're waiting for your manager to notice all the great things you’ve done this year, you might be waiting a long time. Year-end reviews aren’t just performance check-ins, they’re visibility checks. And if you’re not showing up with receipts, strategy, and confidence, you could be leaving money, respect, and future opportunities on the table. In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to advocate for yourself without sounding like a jerk. You’ll learn how to prepare, what to say, and how to handle pushback like a pro so you can walk into that meeting feeling powerful, not panicked.
