In this solo episode of the Paralegals on Fire! Podcast Show, Ann Pearson discusses not only how to prepare for you performance review or evaluation but how to change your mindset to make it a career development opportunity.

Show Highlights

• What important information you should keep on file all year to prepare
• How to accept constructive criticism without becoming defensive
