| In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together! | | The Puzzle of Motivation Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward. | | Are we in control of our own Decisions? Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions. | | Why we make bad decisions | Dan Gilbert | | Proudly Brought to You I hope you have enjoyed this issue of my InTouch newsletter.

I believe my journey with you, which started during one of the lowest points in my life, will go far.
My husband had got himself a rare policy in order to support his ex-colleague – Emily Lim. A kind deed deserves another. When he passed on in 2016, Emily impressed me with her efficiency with a human touch when she helped process the policy claim. We had been friends since.
Emily has been a financial advisor to me like none other (I have four or five others). She keeps in touch intrusively. From her casual sharing, I hear of how she befriends her clients who need help and would go out of her way to assist, often what even family members would do.
I was touched by her concern for her staff, coaching them and giving them a leg-up when necessary, beyond work to their spiritual needs. Her role-modelling of attending to persons as a total fellow human being with multi-faceted needs would be helpful to those who are willing to learn from her.
As I age, I’m confident that I have a companion in Emily, as a friend and financial consultant who would be ready to assist and advise when necessary.
I thank God for you, Emily. May He continue to show you favour and anoint you with His love. | | | | Kwa Eng KiatBusiness Development, Digital Dream Hi Everyone,
Emily has been providing us with tip-top and excellent service throughout the many years that she has been our insurance agent. Her quick response and professional advice has always been appreciated by my wife and I as well as our family.
Emily's extensive knowledge and experience in the financial planning/insurance industry is of great importance to us as she provides sound advice for our insurance requirements.
Through the many years, we have become more than agent/client. We are close family friends now. | | | | 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 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. | | | | Lim Ee AiHome Maker Hi Everyone,
