How to Use Your Performance Review to Build a Career Safety Net

In this episode of The Performance Review Show, Lucas and Luna explore how to use your annual review as a tool for career risk management — not just for raises or promotions. Drawing on the concept of career capital, they discuss how to identify transferable skills, document achievements for external credibility, and strategically network within and beyond your organization. Lucas shares how one software engineer used her performance review to build a side portfolio that landed her a board seat after a layoff. Luna pushes back on the idea that performance reviews are only backward-looking, and they land on a pragmatic framework: treat each review cycle as a 'career insurance' check-in.
