We have come to a very unique juncture in time, where we are transitioning into the 4th industrial revolution. This is a time where technology as we know it will start to escalate in its rate of change. Our lives and jobs will surely be impacted. But how? It is time to consider this and take stock of where we might stand now and three to five years later. | Your Life is About to Change This may be the most important economic exposé you ever read. In 2008, I gave a speech in which I explained the concept of a secular bull market. Secular markets are typically driven by large-scale national and worldwide events and forces that are in place for many years. | The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. | Atlas, The Next Generation | Proudly Brought to You I hope you have enjoyed this issue of my InTouch newsletter.

He has shown genuineness and care in terms of having your interests in mind and gradually become more like a friend over the the time that we have known each other. | | | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. | | | Affendi, Civil Service “In 2001 I started working and was clueless about insurance products. How to protect myself? How to save for retirement? Then I was introduced to Kenneth thru a mutual friend. To my recollection, he also just started his journey as a Financial Advisor. Despite that, Kenneth showed sincerity, confidence and professionalism (he still does) when I first met him.
Kenneth without fail will explained and assured me what is best for me at different phase of my life.
Moving forward 21 years later, my family and I have always put our trust and faith in him. He always make himself available even on weekends (sorry to disturb u on weekends) when I needed his advice or help.
Kenneth, I am happy for you Brudder! You are a testament that when you doing what you love sincerely, success will follow through in many forms.
From my Insurance agent to my Friend.”
*Thanks to Wei Kai also for introducing us. 😉 | | | Priscilla Chew, Senior Financial Consultant "A leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of blame and a little less than his share of credit." Kenneth lives by this principle more than many others.
I first met Kenneth, a little more than 3 years back. He came across as a straightforward and focused director. At that moment, I knew I have much more to learn from him.
Being in the business for over 20 years, he has met many different kinds of individuals. He has a unique communication style, knowing that words transform emotions and lead to breakthroughs. His decisiveness carries the team, that does not mean he makes easy decisions. He makes what's right even in tough times.
If one have ever engaged in a conversation with Kenneth, one must have sensed quickly his confidence and clear visions. He is fully focused on helping the team achieve their personal goals, even if it means sacrificing his time. Kenneth is a yes man to his mentees, not because he says yes to everything, but because he couldn't turn a blind eye to his team.
Being a good speaker with his language fluency helped me discover that public speaking is a skill I enjoyed very much, and he is an example to follow.
In my almost 3 years with Kenneth, I have enjoyed learning from him as my mentor, upgrading my skills and putting my strengths to use. He listens before he speaks, which many of us would have wanted from a leader.
He has played a big role and attribution to my achievements and helped me vision who I want to be, who I could be and discovering my identity.
In today's fast paced market, Kenneth is constantly looking for innovative ideas and finding the X factor. It was never a dull moment to learn new things from him.
If you are looking for a leader that is no-nonsense, honest and focused on helping you achieve your goals, walk up to Kenneth and start the conversation. | | | | |
