​Too many managers walk into their year-end review hoping their work speaks for itself.

But it rarely does. The meeting moves fast, details get lost, and ​much is about the past, not the future.

When that happens, the conversation stays tactical instead of helping your manager understand the value you created this year and the direction you want to take next.

This week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast breaks down how to prepare in a way that gives you a stronger footing in that conversation.

A little structure can make the difference between a routine check-in and a discussion that actually moves your career forward.

You’ll learn how to:

- Present your impact with concrete examples

- Link your work to themes your manager cares about

- Ask for what you need to grow next year
