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.

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.

Sybil (Hair Technician)

I met Wilson in 2009, after recovering from a serious road traffic accident. My previous Insurance Agent, who was also a distant family member had sold me useless polices that provided no essential protection and coverage. It was then that I decided to terminate those policies and by luck, my dad’s friend introduced Wilson to me. Wilson took the time to chat with me about my lifestyle, my occupation and my long term plans in the future. He drew out detailed plans and policies and guided me every step of the way to make sure I knew what I was paying for. He is ever so patient to explain important details to me and up till today, he will not hesitate to explain and clarify any doubts I have. This relationship has been built upon trust. I have gone through a few other medical emergencies over the last 13 years and he has always been ready to assist. I have even entrusted him to plan my retirement and he has been nothing but thoughtful and sincere while making these plans with me. I highly recommend Wilson because he is very responsible and genuine. He will go the extra mile for you.

Hui Lian (Principal Architect)

I’ve known Wilson since university days and he’s very sincere in understanding my needs in the different stages of my life. He troubleshoots anything that I need to know and solve with regards to financial matters and insurance covers or claims, and offers solutions and recommendations even if it is not within his usual scope. He is definitely good at what he does, approachable and very responsive – something which I value in him very much.

Darren Wong (Ship Broker)

I have known Wilson since serving our national service days, and we became closer during our reservist stints. He is always very sincere and passionate about the importance of insurance and the benefits for being covered for rainy days which is something we will never be able to foresee or predict. When I was much younger, i never imagined how important it was to have proper insurance coverage. It was Wilson who advised me in detail on the right policies suited for me and my family and also for financial planning for the future. My family and I are very happy to have him as a great financial advisor, and would greatly recommend him to anyone for financial planning.

Loo C M (Pilot)

Wilson and I were called up for an overseas ICT more than 10 years ago.  Despite being the "old guy" and from different cohort, he made me feel welcome with him approachable and friendly character . I have had a couple of advisors from different companies, and an array of plans but Wilson was always there when i needed advices and second opinion about my financial portfolio and also claims for my parents hospital bills etc. Even though he was not even my "official" agent then. All I had to do was to msg/call him and he will be readily available to answer my queries. He has since helped my personal insurance portfolio, and also my children's health insurance and education planning. I would definitely refer him to anyone looking for any financial advices or planning.
