Great content, specially the point that calibration is not for employees, but for managers. My thoughts exactly! 🙂 But I always struggle quantifying my impact. I'm a shy person that doesn't like bragging so till now I let my managers deal with this part. But it's time I learn it. Some work it's easy to quantify impact, but sometimes the work you do doesn't necessarily translate into impact. Would love a video with some examples of such difficult cases. Thanks!

Would be nice to have an elaborate video on how to write a good self review.
