Episode 8 - How to Ask for a Promotion?
You’re doing more, thinking bigger—but your title hasn’t caught up. In this episode, Zann chats with Eugene, ex-Managing Director of Korn Ferry Consulting Singapore, to unpack the delicate art of asking for a promotion. From feeling pai say to bring it up, to managing the sting of “not yet,” they dive into what really makes a case for promotion—impact, readiness, timing, and mindset. They also tackle tricky questions: What if your manager agrees you’re ready but can’t make it happen? Should you always say yes to a promotion? And what if what you want isn’t a bigger title, but more meaning or growth?
