Performance Review Prep Dashboard | Document Impact, Advance Your Career

"What did I even accomplish this year?" "How do I ask for a raise?" "I know I did great work... but I can't remember the details."

If you've ever walked into a performance review unprepared... or undersold your achievements because you forgot key wins... or missed a promotion opportunity because you couldn't articulate your value... this dashboard is for you.

The High Cost of Poor Preparation

Performance reviews are critical career moments—yet most professionals prepare too late or rely on memory alone.

Without preparation, performance reviews:

• Focus on recent events only (recency bias hurts you)
• Undervalue contributions (you forget 70% of your wins)
• Miss opportunities for advancement (no leverage for raises/promotions)
• Feel uncomfortable or reactive (you're defending, not advocating)
• Leave money and opportunities on the table

Your manager doesn't remember everything you did. If you don't document it, it didn't happen.

The Solution: Document Impact Year-Round

The Performance Review Prep Dashboard provides a structured system to capture achievements, quantify results, and prepare confident talking points—ensuring you enter reviews with clarity and leverage.

Instead of scrambling to remember what you did, you follow a proven workflow:

Achievements → Metrics → Talking Points → Career Outcomes

This ensures your performance is communicated accurately and strategically.

What's Included:

1. Achievements Log

• Capture wins consistently throughout the year
• Date-stamped entries (never forget when it happened)
• Categorize by type (projects, leadership, innovation, efficiency)
• Build a comprehensive record of your impact
• Never walk into a review unprepared again

2. Metrics Tracker

• Quantify results wherever possible
• Revenue generated, costs saved, time reduced
• % improvements, # of projects completed, team size managed
• Turn "I did good work" into "I increased sales by 23%"
• Numbers create undeniable leverage

3. Talking Point Builder

• Translate work into clear, professional narratives
• "I led X project, which resulted in Y outcome, creating Z value."
• Prepare answers for common review questions
• Build confidence for raise/promotion conversations
• Sound polished and prepared, not scrambling

4. Structured Instructions

• Guide effective preparation
• Examples for different roles and industries
• Best practices for performance conversations
• No management training required

Perfect For:

✔ Corporate employees
✔ Individual contributors
✔ High-potential professionals
✔ Anyone seeking raises, promotions, or growth opportunities
✔ Professionals who want to advocate for their career

How It Transforms Your Performance Review:

July: Log: "Streamlined reporting process, saved team 5 hours/week."
