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!

Testimonials and Referral Notes

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.

Gary Giam, Senior Financial Consultant

Having working with Kenneth for the past 4 years, I can say with certainty that Kenneth is an excellent mentor and a goal getter. He makes sure that we are well equipped with the knowledge and the necessary skill sets to provide top advice to our clients as well as to the people we meet. Being an introvert, it isn't easy for me at the start, but with his guidance and experience, I am able to smoothly transit into my sales role without much seatbacks. If you are looking for a breakthrough in your career or interested in doing sales but unsure if you are suitable for it, I would strongly recommend reaching out to 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.

Jasmine Chua, Director, HCS Engineering

Known Kenneth since 2007 and he has been managing my family portfolio since. He is meticulous in planning and has advised me more than just on financial plans. He has been my consultant first but we have since become good family friends.

Wilson Low, Enterprise Business Manager

In 2018, I was looking for a Sales Opportunity in my IT industry. However, my Prudential Financial Consultant shared with me about his work and introduced me to his Team Lead, Kenneth. For a person like me who was already 50yo then, without any experience in the Sales and Financial Industries, it was not easy for me to switch and become a FC but Kenneth was a very patient and knowledgeable Mentor. He was able to teach and abundantly share his knowledge and experience with all his new FCs, and I am proud to be in his Multi Million Dollar Agency Team. I would recommend Kenneth to those who are looking for a good Financial Mentor to achieve your career goal as a Financial Consultant.

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.
