From appraisal to action: Turning conversations into growth

The hard side of soft skills

  • Event date: 03 June 2027 10:00 AM
  • Event type: Webinar
  • Duration: 1 hour
  • Provided by: The Centre for Legal Leadership and ClientWise

Professional success isn't just about technical expertise. How we communicate, handle difficult conversations and support the development of others can make a significant difference to our working lives. 

In this series of webinars, Joanna Gaudoin explores the practical skills that help us navigate these situations more effectively.

  • Appraisals are an important opportunity to recognise what is going well and identify areas for development.
  • However, appraisal conversations don't always deliver the value they could.
  • Good preparation and a thoughtful approach from both sides can help turn the conversation into meaningful action.

In this webinar, Joanna will look at how to get more from the appraisal process, looking at the experience from both the appraiser and appraisee perspective. She will cover preparation, the appraisal conversation itself and what happens afterwards, with practical guidance to help make these conversations more productive.
