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.

Eddie Chin, HR Business Partner, CAG

I’ve known Kenneth since my army days, so that works out to more than 20 years… I must say since those days, Kenneth has been a natural mentor in caring for and taking care of his course mates (me included!). Armed with a positive and never-say-die attitude, he regularly galvanizes every one of us fellow trainees to “endure and excel” throughout the few months of training together. From the tough times we faced together, you could clearly tell that Kenneth was someone you could depend on, in good or bad times… 😊 I recall Kenneth was already clear at that young age (where most guys are probably trying to “act cool”), that he wanted to go into the financial planning line to help relatives and friends better plan for their needs at various stages of life. We continued keeping in touch after we were posted to different camps in Singapore, and shortly after we turned operationally ready he got his financial planner licence with Prudential! Without a doubt, I took up my first life policy with him after starting work myself. Fast forward 20 years, and Kenneth continues to conscientiously plan for me and my family’s needs in terms of insurance coverage. I mean it when I say “needs”, coz Kenneth never pushes for me to take on more than I should or could. Now that he’s leading his own team, he remains down to earth and continues to keep tab on me and my family’s well-being, as a good friend and trusted financial advisor.

Lee Peng, Business Process Analyst

Kenneth and Clesphrin have been helping us for the past few decades. They always work hard to help us find the best solutions as our needs change in various stages of life. They have been extremely patient and informative, making the decision making process a lot easier for us.

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.

Leon Chaw, Senior Financial Consultant

I have known Kenneth since I was 18. Lost and inexperienced about life, Kenneth has provided me guidance and support throughout my younger days. He is genuine in his mentorship and the only motive he has; to do well and do good collectively be it personal or at work. Kenneth has displayed the fine example of walking the talk. As a 20-year veteran and leader in the financial advisory industry, he remains humble with his advices while ensuring that his team remain grounded while striving for excellence. Kenneth’s foresight and and aptitude in life enabled the team to continuously innovate in our business, even in tough times such as COVID-19. If you’re ready to challenge yourself and want to get out of your comfort zone, do reach out to Kenneth and he will provide you with the most uncomfortable truth yet real advices.

Richard Lee, CEO, Aalst Chocolate

Trustworthy and sincere. Kenneth has been helping to plan for my family plans for more than 10 years. Happy to see his team expand and with his guidance, I am sure many will benefit from his wealth of experience. He is also a good public speaker and has spoke at my company events.

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.
