How do I prepare for a performance review?

How the I Ching Approaches This

The I Ching views performance reviews as moments of honest reckoning — not as judgment from above but as an opportunity for genuine self-assessment and dialogue. The preparation that matters most is not assembling a list of accomplishments but developing a clear understanding of your growth, your challenges, and the value you've created. The Oracle helps you approach the review with both confidence in your contributions and openness to feedback that could sharpen your direction.
