Emotional Armor: Mastering Your Mindset in the Boardroom
Why Working Harder is Costing You the Promotion
by Yue Ran Yang
Let’s face it, all of us have experienced many instances in our lives where we feel unmotivated to study anymore. Motivation certainly is powerful for pushing us through challenging circumstances, but it is fleeting and irregular, and if we let our school life be run by motivation, we’d soon find ourselves in places we never wanted to be in. In this episode, Yue Ran will help you switch from running on motivation to operating with systems.
You arrive at a point in your professional life when you feel that the stakes are higher than before — your company’s money, your professional standing, your career, and your life is on the line. It all feels overwhelming. It is at this point where you get to test whether you freeze, fly, or fight in the circumstance. These are all normal reactions, and you are not alone. Coach Yue Ran will help you navigate your way towards successfully undertaking your challenging situations.
Tired of being a yes-man to everything? If you have been working tirelessly lately, going the extra mile to get yourself the promotion you think you deserve can counterintuitively push you further away. A restful sleep is a cornerstone of peak brain performance, and the very visions we conjure with our minds are what actually powers the corporate world. In this episode, Yue Ran will teach you more about the importance of a focused mind and how this very tool can propel you to the top.
Facing the real corporate world is daunting. It is nothing to be shameful about, as even high achievers in their academic years often fail to launch themselves to the success they envision outside the University. If you are a fresh graduate or you're struggling to manage your way into work and goals, coach Yue Ran will take you a step closer, together in your journey to the professional life you envision. © 2026 Carpe Rise Podcasts.
