ONLINE MASTERCLASS

Appraisal Strategy: Mastering the Art of Asking

Thursday 28th May 2026 | 12pm UK | 1pm CET

Your appraisal or performance review is more than just an opportunity for you and your team leader to review and reflect on your performance, as well as the bigger picture of your career and life ambitions, and how they align with those of your organisation. This is a high stakes conversation that can determine your happiness at work, your professional development, and not just your fortunes over the coming year, but it can also shape the rest of your career trajectory.

Often in my work I see that women can struggle to take up space in that meeting: inadequately speaking for their past contributions, or advocating for their needs in the present, or crucially, with a lack of clarity around what they need to do to step into a future role or responsibility, all of which does not support their ambitions in a job environment that is getting more competitive by the day.

In this interactive one-hour online masterclass, Ishwariya will help you gain an understanding of:

- how to prepare your 'ask' and present yourself in the best light at your appraisal

- practical tools and strategies to navigate constructive feedback

- how leaders can set the scene for an appraisal with one of their own team

If you cannot attend the masterclass live, you can still sign up and a recording will be available until June 4th.
