| As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them. | | World’s richest man says highly intelligent people do this one thing To Amazon billionaire and world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, this phrase is extremely true.

© Kenneth Cheng, All rights reserved. | |  | | Jace Low, Financial Consultant I met Kenneth when I was looking to enter the financial services industry back in 2020, and what really stood out to me was his upfront honesty and transparent nature. I was exploring many opportunities at the time and Kenneth's ability to lead really spoke to me because he never gave me "fluff" or painted a flowery picture but was always very real in his mentorship and guidance to me. I've also seen him on multiple occasions go out of his way to help not only mentees but also his clients who ask for his time of day urgently, despite his tight schedule. I'm thankful for his presence in my life and would not want to be anywhere else except with Opulence and under his care. I am sure others who have worked with him will say the same and I am all but certain that future new mentees and new clients will see what I see as well. | |  | | Anitha, Teacher Kenneth was my first insurance advisor when I started working back in 2002. He has since become a good family friend. As a caring and thoughtful person, he never fails to support us whenever we need his assistance. Whenever I have a query or doubt, Kenneth has never hesitated to explain patiently and offer alternate solutions or suggestions. Really fortunate to have met you almost 20 years ago, Kenneth. I wish you only the best! Thank you, Kenneth! | |  | | Gladys Soon, Financial Consultant During the short 4 months working with Kenneth, he has been an amazing mentor. Given the tough industry, Kenneth had played an integral role in getting me to find my footing. With his guidance, I managed to place a much more firm footing in here as compared to my other peers.
Kenneth has always made himself available and has taken great interest in my trajectory into this industry. Under Kenneth's mentorship, I have seen growth in myself, even beyond my professional capabilities. His ardent support has me feel that it was the best decision to join Opulence to have the opportunity to be mentored by Kenneth. | |  | | Michelle Tan, Senior Financial Consultant Kenneth's confidence, experience and his ability to vision made me took a leap of faith from my decent paying job & multiple offers to join his team. It was indeed a tough decision but I have never regretted ever since. He believes in me more than I believe in myself & will push me to do better, be better. I have grown a lot these 4 years under his mentorship, emotionally, mentally & financially. I'm proud to say that without Kenneth, I wouldn't be where I am right now.
Everything happens for a reason. If you ever receive a call from Kenneth one day on a new career opportunity, pick it up, have a coffee with him. It might be the turning point you were waiting for. | |  | | Lee Chun Hian, Financial Services Manager There are two types of leaders in financial services; one that commands and expects results, the other who actually walks the talk, leading by example. And Kenneth is the latter.
Three years of working alongside him, we have both experienced growth in our teams and career, and a large part of my success was due to his empowerment of the business. Kenneth always come up with new innovative ideas in this ever-changing industry of financial services, and he is someone who is selfless in his coaching and sharing with younger financial consultants.
When Kenneth reaches out, it's probably because sees the potential, and I am confident that under his tutelage, new breakthroughs will be reached. | |  | | Sarifah Hasliza, Teacher Where do I actually start?
Kenneth is an amazing agent with great character and he is definitely trustworthy. He has been with us close to 20 years. From handling just my individual portfolio, to handling my whole family (of 6) insurance portfolio.
He is always there whenever I needed advice. Never once did he ignore my calls/texts. He even makes home visits whenever we need to to update our policies.
I’ve recommended him to my sister and cousins. They were impressed by his personalised & thorough presentation and switched to Prudential. I must mention that Kenneth is never pushy and always gives us space & time to consider his proposal. | | | | |
