In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time. | Moving from Self Doubt to Self Confidence It would be nice if moving from self doubt to self confidence just came naturally. However, moving from self doubt to self confidence is a practice you can adopt, with practice. When you are able to identify where your insecurities lie and what is stopping you from feeling confident, you can then start the process of moving from self doubt to self confidence. You will be able to work on eliminating the blocks that are keeping you from moving through life with assuredness. Here are some of the culprits for the patterns of self doubt and ideas for what you can do about them. | Why confidence and knowledge can lead to smart money decisions Two common areas that cause people to procrastinate financially are knowledge and confidence. Logically, we know that financial literacy can boost our confidence to make informed money-management decisions. Yet, many people tell me that they lack the confidence to learn and absorb that financial knowledge, which holds them back. However, everybody is capable of effectively managing their money. While some need mindset adjustments, others need a confidence boost or a little reassurance that they are on the right track. Take small steps, follow and when doubt starts to creep in, remind yourself that money is only a tool and you are learning. | 9 Habits That Are Destroying Your Confidence | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

Emily has been there with me since the beginning. Till date I am already 15 years in the career, thus we have worked with each other for a long time. She has always inspired me with her generosity, letting me realized there is so much more in giving than taking. This attribute has helped me progress well in this career and thus I will say Emily has been an integral part in my growth.
She has always been frank with the people she deals with and that helps a lot in shaping many of us who are under her watch. On a personal note, she cares about my family as well and not just the career and I appreciate a lot for this caring side of her.
Looking forward to future interactions with Emily in the years ahead. Thanks Emily for being there for me all this while :) | | | Alexander KongFinancial Consultant, Prudential Hi Everyone,
I have always struggled to find my place in the world. So it was easy for me to settle into a reserved geeky existence. However the harsh and expensive reality of life makes it impossible to continue living that way. Moreover it was particularly painful when family who knows me and cares for me worries whether I would make it in life. Hence I made 180 degree switch into sales and business and never looked back.
Changing and transforming to be better is painful and often times frustrating. Even more so when you are finding your way on your own without guidance. Things truly change for me when I met Emily and joined her team. My stars change, from a dependent and hopeless nobody into an independent and thriving agent, husband, father and son to his family and clients.
I have been blessed with many great leaders in my life but Emily is truly one of a kind. Through blood, sweat and tears she is fully committed to the transformation, livelihood and my growth as well as her team. Results don't lie. I have grown to believe in myself and begin to see how things can turn out well. I am able to see how I can have a happy succesful and fulfilled life thanks to Emily.
If you are looking to change your stars? My question to you is "What are you WAITING FOR?" Although Emily would be constantly knocking at your door, the question you need to come to terms with is this: "How much longer do you want to delay your breakthrough and get closer to the life of your choosing?". The opportunity is already here. | | | Tracy PangFlorist, Lavender Bliss Hi Everyone,
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. | | | Lee Ler YangStudent, Ngee Ann Polytechnic Hi Everyone,
Aunty Emily has always been around my family. Whenever we needed any clarification for our policies, she would always be available to answer our queries.
My personal experience with aunty Emily is when she recommended a policy to my sisters and me. She painstakingly went through every detail of the alternatives and justified what’s best for us. What’s best for us, and not what’s most profitable for herself.
When I expressed my interest in her business, she unselfishly brought me into her workplace and gave me advice on how I could go about achieving what I wish to be in the future.
Aunty Emily is very generous in offering her help to my sisters and me, she supported me in my studies to ease the burden off my mother.
I'm thankful for everything aunty Emily had done for my family and me.
Aunty Emily, no words can express my gratitude to you, thank you for being around us, I’m grateful to have you as a mentor. Please continue to guide me along. Thank you. | | | 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,
