INTERVIEW AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW PREP: IDENTIFY YOUR UNIQUE STRENGTHS

This workshop will teach you how to communicate your unique strengths and skill-set with confidence to excel in your next performance review or job interview. We discuss what you can be doing throughout the year to ensure you’re prepared well in advance of the review, and focus on strategies that enable you to concisely but confidently articulate your value to an employer. This workshop is led by Sophie Warwick and Jillian Climie, Co-Founders of The Thoughtful Co. We leave time for group discussion and Q&A to ensure all your questions are answered. Key takeaways from this workshop include:

• Communicating your strengths with confidence & leveraging your unique skill set.
• Setting the stage for a positive & productive conversation that serves you and your employer.
• Asking questions to ensure you have the information needed to make an informed decision.
• How to research effectively and learn from your network to lead an impactful discussion.
• Understanding your non-negotiables & where you do, and don’t, have room for flexibility.
