A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

Minhao Wong. Account Manager. Chevron Oronite Pte Ltd

When I knew Diana through a mutual friend, she had already come with many years of experience in the industry. Diana was able to quickly identify the right policies and solutions that suit my lifestyle and family's needs. She was able to provide insightful advice that helped me understand the importance of building a portfolio to help support my children's future education needs. She will also help me navigate any paper work and claims processes whenever there is a need. Diana would also regularly check in with me to update on our situation. Over the years, she has become a reliable support. I am glad to say that she is now a personal friend that I will recommend to anyone who needs her expertise.

Margaretha Gouwanda. Freelance Accountant.

I first met Diana in year 2006 at IT Show Roadshow. I started with a small endowment policy as I had just entered the workforce. Since then, Diana always arranges regular meet ups, at least once or twice a year, to review my policies. She recommends new policies and solutions to ensure that my family continuously has enough coverage to meet our financial needs at different life stages. As I have budget constraints at times, she will make adjustments to maximize my portfolio while keeping my premiums affordable. Diana is professional, meticulous, friendly and approachable. She is helpful and fast whenever I need to file any insurance claims, and this allows me to have a total peace of mind. She is now not only my financial consultant, but also a friend whom i can trust deeply.

Erwin Wong. Supply Chain Planner.

I've been friends with Diana since the early 2000s, and she reached out to assist in planning for my financial needs when I entered the workforce. All through the stations of my life, Diana has offered sound advice and recommendations in making financial plans for my present and future. She has done so with her wealth of skills, experiences and expertise gained in the industry. Her accolades are a testament to her talent, ability and hard work put in as a financial consultant, but when we meet to catch up on life or to do regular financial reviews, we do so as long-time friends. This makes the friendship even more heartwarming, because Diana is someone that I would trust this important aspect of my life with.

Danny Chew. Senior Operations Executive. OUB Centre Limited

Diana has been a great financial adviser and friend for the past decade. Since the first time I met up with her for the first financial review, Diana has shown the commitment of looking for positive ways to better my coverage, financial growth and retirement needs. Other than the quarterly meetups to review my coverage, there are also the constant sharing of market changes and updates of new plans Prudential has to offer. In the years of providing her expertise, she has been showing her in-depth understanding of financial planning. Along with a good listening ear, she has been recommending products to address my concerns. Unlike other financial planners, Diana is not pushy and does not focus on selling policies. Thanks to her recommendations, I am able to increase my coverage for the possible emergencies one can face in life, better my expected financial status at retirement and set my mind at ease should I ever meet with an unexpected situation. I look forward to the many more decades to come with Diana as my financial adviser.

Christine Tiong. Accountant.

Diana has been my friend since we were in secondary school. I’ve seen her grow from being a rookie to the successful financial consultant she is today. Through it all, we have seen each other through major life events and she has always been there for me and providing help and support. I am glad that she was able to help me with my financial planning needs according to my budget and always thinking of my welfare at heart. Looking forward to more professional advice and services from her in the future.
