Leadership is the act of guiding a team or individual to achieve a goal through direction and motivation -- and there is a leader in all of us. This issue contains insightful resources and pointers that touch on the various under-talked about but important aspects of leadership. I hope this inspires us to not just exercise good leadership in our daily lives as individuals and organisations, but more importantly, help us get through and thrive even in difficult times. | Build Your Reputation as a Trustworthy Leader People’s expectations and definition of trustworthiness are broadening for leaders, and it takes a lot to gain that trust.

She is my insurance agent and she has all the insurance knowledge to answer all my questions.
Also, she is always cheerful and very supportive of my online business. It's like a life mentor giving me guidance and encouragement with her experience and inspiration.
Thank you Emily. | | | Doreen Lau Ah GuatDoing community work now Hi Friends,
Emily is caring and efficient who has empathy for her clients. She will go all the way out to help them. She is fast, efficient and very reliable. She is not only our financial consultant but our good family friend. | | | Roger ChenFinancial Consultant, Prudential Hi Everyone,
Putting People First - is certainly the best way to describe my leader, Emily.
Emily is a leader who always have people’s interests at heart, she is always willing to go the extra mile for people who requires help, I have never heard her rejecting people’s plea for genuine help, this is especially rare in a world where many people are used to be self-centered, focusing only on their benefits.
From this selfless trait she has, I have learnt to be generous with people and to be sensitive to people’s well-being.
Towards her own associates, she has also never stopped finding ways to groom her associates to be the best version of themselves even if it risks sounding like a stern parent at home because she only wishes to see her associates prosper and do well in life as she believes that each of us, no matter which starting point we are at, will have the potential to be better and she never gives up on us even if we ourselves may have given up on ourselves. If you are seeking a leader who can inspire you to be become the best version you can be, Emily is the one to look for! | | | Lee Chen XiPatient Care Assistant, IHH Healthcare Hi Everyone,
Auntie Emily has been and will continue to be my go-to insurance agent, as her passion and sincerity in taking care of our financial future shines through her work, she goes the extra mile and ensures that we truly understand the plans that we chose to participate in, whilst also catering specialised plans for different members of our family.
Apart from being an insurance agent, Auntie Emily continually exposes us to different career pathways through attending the events that she recommended, and also gives us advice beyond that expected from the usual insurance agent. She is the embodiment of service from the heart and will definitely brighten your life!
Dear Auntie Emily, I am deeply grateful for the advice and opportunities that you have extended to me and my family, thank you very much for being a shining torch along our journey! | | | Ong York ChinRetiree Hi Everybody,
Time flies, I have been insured with Prudential for almost 30 years, approached by Emily Lim, my good friend. I knew her when she was working in MINDEF. Over the years, I and my children are insured with Prudential. Besides, I also invest in Prudential products which are introduced by Emily.
Emily is a cheerful, friendly and resourceful agent, especially because I've had problems recently to get a hospital bed for my husband and engage a helper to assist me in taking care of him. She assisted me to get the wanted items FOC and a suitable maid within a short time frame. I am grateful to her.
Currently, she is in charge of all my Prudential products. When any of my policies mature, she will remind me. I am thankful to have such a responsive agent. | | | Jeremy and Catharine LimScientist & Homemaker Hi Everyone,
Emily has served our parents faithfully ever since she started her career in this industry more than 30 years ago. We have been privileged to be under her care for the past few years. We have come across and been served by our fair share of 'financial consultants'.
Emily really stands out with her honest sincerity and wealth of experience. She advises with our best interests at heart, prioritizing our needs rather than her personal agenda. As a veteran in the industry, we appreciate that she continues to keep up with the trends and competition - so her advice remains relevant to our changing needs. Her after-sales service is equally stellar and timely, often involving her going above and beyond what is required. A simple and recent example would be when she found out we were down with Covid. Emily immediately arranged to bring food, fresh coconuts and herbal medicines personally to our doorstep.
Truly, Emily is more like a wise friend with practical advice we can turn to than a mere financial consultant going through the motions. | | | | |
