Hi there, Performance review season is coming up, and if you're already feeling that familiar sense of dread. I'm with you as I remember that feeling so well. There's something uniquely exhausting about performance reviews. You're trying to remember an entire year's worth of performance, summarise it fairly, give meaningful feedback, and do it all while staring at a blank document at not long before the meeting when your brain has completely checked out. But what if I told you there's a way to do this in 30 minutes? Not by cutting corners, but by using a simple process that gets your thinking out of your head and into a clear, structured draft, fast. The key is using AI and your voice memo so that you can just untangle all those thoughts and let AI take the strain of structuring the review for you. I show you exactly how to do it step-by-step in the video, it's six and a half minutes, and I'll give you the exact prompt you need. You can watch it here. Because when it comes to being a successful manager and leader if performance reviews feel overwhelming, it's not usually because you're bad at them. It's because you're reacting to a deadline instead of running a system. This process helps you catch up fast this year. But if you want next year to be different, if you want reviews to feel easy, fair, and fast, you need a system that supports you all year round. That's what Manager OS is built for. But for now? Let's get these reviews done without that last minute panic. Have a great week Helen P.S. If you're realising that performance reviews are just one piece of a much bigger puzzle - how you organise your time, your team, your leadership - then Manager OS might be exactly what you need. It's the full system I use to help managers reclaim their time and lead with confidence. Find out more here. P.P.S If you want to work one on one with me to help you get ahead as a leader you can book a call here. Let’s chat. |

Hi there, I've just published a video that might be one of the most important ones I've made for this channel - and I really hope you'll watch it. It's called "The EXACT System That Turns Managers Into Leaders" and it's about something I've been thinking about for years. Why am I so excited about this one? Because it brings together everything I learned the hard way in my corporate career, and everything I've seen coaching hundreds of managers since. There's a pattern to leadership success -...
Hi there, I'm writing this from Newark Airport, waiting for my flight home after spending the last week in New York with my sister and her family. There's no YouTube video this week - I've been firmly off-duty - but I had two conversations over the past few days that stuck with me, and I wanted to share them with you before I lose them in the noise of getting back to normal life. Both conversations were about the same thing, from completely opposite ends of the work experience spectrum. And...
Hi there, I recently asked you all on YouTube what you struggle with most as a manager, and over a third of respondents said the same thing: following up with your team consistently. I think we've all been there - that point where you're driving home after a long day and suddenly have that ‘oh gosh moment’ when you remember something you planned to follow up on. And you didn't do it. That little spike of stress. That frustration with yourself. That guilt. And then you get home, and obviously...
