In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

Student, 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.

Financial 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.

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.

Retiree

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.

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.
