Have you ever received a negative performance review?

I have.

Although it was not a pleasant experience, it also was not the end of my career, which was what I thought was going to happen.

Negative performance reviews are not something that people talk about publicly, not something you'd make a LinkedIn Post about "Hey everyone, I'm excited to share that I've received a negative performance review!" I remember I felt so helpless, yet I was ashamed for a long time and found it difficult to seek help.

Although taboo to talk about publicly, you'd also be surprised how many people I know, people who are capable, smart and talented, have told me that they received negative performance reviews at least once in their career.

So I thought i'd share my experience, my regrets and my learnings in this video.
