Imagine this: You're doing great at your job, but then you get a review that says you're just meeting expectations. It feels like a punch in the gut, right? This happened to a client of mine. She's always been a star at work, making big things happen for her company. Yet, here she was, feeling knocked down by a piece of paper that didn't see her true worth.
Her story isn't just about feeling down, though. It's a powerful lesson on how we handle the tough stuff—do we let it beat us, or do we rise above and show what we're really made of?
After a bit, something amazing happened. At a conference, filled with top bosses, my client became the center of attention. These big-time executives were impressed by her work and told her she was meant for great things. It was a wake-up call. All those worries about her review started to fade away.
This whole situation sheds light on a few key points we all need to remember:
This story is a reminder for all of us. We're more than any review or opinion. It's about how we bounce back, learn, and keep shining. Our journey is full of these moments—let's use them to become even stronger and more confident.

11 个月A star should never get a "meeting expectations" eval. That is an organizational culture problem. Evaluations should be based on merit and tied to reward, including financial reward. And the reward or bonus should be awarded publicly. This inspired others to work harder and meet the high bar! The reverse is true if a good eval is not tied to reward. This demotivates good workers and ultimately might be the beginning of the end for their presence!
