🇬🇧 INTERACTIVE SYSTEM COMING SOON

This toolkit is available now as a PDF. An interactive version is coming soon.

Talking about your own achievements is hard in any language. In a British workplace it is harder still: say too much and you sound arrogant, say too little and nobody notices what you did. Direct translations of "I did X" often backfire.

This toolkit shows you how to state the fact, keep the tone understated and let the outcome do the talking, in appraisals, self-reviews and pay or promotion conversations.

🇬🇧 WHAT YOU GET

• A 13-page PDF with a study guide and 7 sections
• Phrases grouped by tone with the traffic-light register system: 🟢 Friendly / Natural, 🟡 Professional / Neutral, 🔴 Formal / Direct
• Achievement phrases by formality, and ways to turn tasks into outcomes without sounding like a sales pitch
• A personal notes page for your own phrases

🇬🇧 THE 7 SECTIONS

• S1 Describing Achievements - why direct translation backfires, and achievement phrases by formality
• S2 Quantifying Impact - turning tasks into outcomes, and numbers without sounding like a sales pitch
• S3 Writing Your Self-Appraisal - opening the self-review, describing strengths, describing a challenge or setback
• S4 The "Weaknesses" Question - in writing and in conversation
• S5 Asking for Feedback Proactively
• S6 The Promotion / Pay Rise Conversation - opening the conversation, making the case, and what to say if the answer is "not yet"
