What do you think about how it went?
'Pensi' = PEN-si. Two syllables; stress the first. 'Andato' = an-DA-to.
Use this at the beginning of a feedback session to invite self-assessment before giving your own evaluation. Self-reflection is a key component of Italian professional development culture.
'Cosa ne pensi?' (what do you think of it?) combined with 'tu' (you, emphasised) makes the question personal and invites the individual's voice first. This approach respects Italian values of dignity and autonomy.
Come valuti la tua performance?
How do you evaluate your own performance?
More formal; used in structured performance reviews
Sei soddisfatto/a del risultato?
Are you satisfied with the result?
Simple yes/no opener that leads to deeper conversation
Cosa cambieresti se dovessi rifarlo?
What would you change if you had to do it again?
Reflective question that focuses on future learning rather than past mistakes
The Italian concept of 'auto-valutazione' (self-evaluation) is growing in corporate performance management. Many Italian companies now include a structured self-assessment form before the manager evaluation — this creates a more balanced and respectful feedback dynamic, especially valued by younger Italian professionals.
