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.

Sukhwinder Gill. Project Manager. Micron. Shannon Gill. Manager - Operations/Logistics. Wilmar International.

Diana has been our family financial advisor for well over a decade now. From the start, she was able to quickly understand my husband’s and my financial needs as well as the type of investments we were more keen in and would get in touch with us when an opportunity befitting our criteria arose. That is a key value addition we have benefitted from due to our busy schedules as we are able to get straight to the point in achieving our goals without wasting time. Over the years she has helped us build our financial goals according to our needs and budget. When my husband and I had our daughter, Diana stepped up and helped us figure out which plans would suit us best even before my daughter was born and that has helped us to start our protection and financial planning for her at a very early age which is advantageous from a cost and value point of view. Diana is a very knowledgeable and committed financial advisor. She has continued to consciously and proactively upgrade herself by constantly gaining more knowledge and experience in her industry in order to serve her clients better all the time. She has deep understanding of the products available and is able to not only tailor solutions according to our needs but also explain how it works in simple easy to understand language. She also shares her own personal experience and strategies which we have found to be very helpful in making our financial decisions. To top it all off Diana is a very nice and easy going person with whom you will quickly develop a friendship with. We are blessed not only to have Diana as our trusted financial advisor but also as a close friend.  

Kerin Chiok. Manager. Akira Corporation Pte Ltd

Diana has been my financial consultant since 2009, and ever since then, she has helped me plan and build up my financial portfolio for my future needs. As a financial consultant, she is very passionate in what she does and takes great pride in her job. With her deep knowledge and focus on the well-being of her clients, she is willing to spend significant time and energy to ensure that I am well covered at all times. As the years progressed, she is not only just a financial consultant to me, she is also a friend whom I can trust. I would readily recommend her service to my family members and friends.

I have been a client of Diana since 2005. She has provided sound financial advice and brought my attention to areas I had never thought of in financial planning. I would readily recommend her to anyone who seeks a financial consultant that is experienced and who keeps in touch with her clients to help them reach their financial goals.

Gerry Perreira. Team Manager. Citibank

Diana has been our financial advisor for many years. She is helpful and understanding towards our needs and interests during our reviews. Diana is an expert in her work and provides comprehensive views during discussions. A benefit is that we are both parents, having common concerns for our children, planning from birth to growing up. I would like to express my thanks for the work you have done for us over the past 10 years.

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.
