A Monthly Curated Newsletter

Leadership is the act of guiding a team or individual to achieve a goal through direction and motivation -- and there is a leader in all of us. This issue contains insightful resources and pointers that touch on the various under-talked about but important aspects of leadership. I hope this inspires us to not just exercise good leadership in our daily lives as individuals and organisations, but more importantly, help us get through and thrive even in difficult times.

Build Your Reputation as a Trustworthy Leader

People’s expectations and definition of trustworthiness are broadening for leaders, and it takes a lot to gain that trust. The author offers four research-based practices for leaders to master to earn and keep the trust of others. If you hope to enjoy a career of great influence and impact, start by cultivating a trustworthy reputation.

Adam Grant on leadership, emotional intelligence, and the value of thinking like a scientist

In Adam Grant's latest book, 'Think Again: The Power of Knowing What you Don’t Know', he makes the case for greater flexibility in our views—and offers tactics for leading discussions that may help others do the same. This conversation was part of a new discussion series for McKinsey partners and clients called "Modern Leadership," which is designed to explore new dimensions of leadership with experts and leading thinkers who can help strengthen, challenge, and stretch our ability to build resilient teams and thrive in uncertain times.

Jude Lim, Medical Social Worker

I met Ken at a roadshow – I’m not someone who enjoys getting approached by insurance agents, but he was patient and kind, not pushy about just selling products. Three years on, he is a trusted advisor and friend. He plans for me at my pace, and I feel comfortable enough to communicate openly with him about my financial needs and goals as they evolve. During the more intense seasons of the COVID pandemic, I can fully focus on other aspects of my life such as work, fully trusting that Ken is taking care of my portfolios and plans. If you’re looking for anyone to provide financial advice that you can relate to, Ken’s your guy!

Justin Tan, Software Engineer

Ken is incredibly transparent about policy terms. He focuses on identifying my actual protection gaps rather than just trying to hit a sales. Ken is my go-to for insurance because he’s efficient and honest. He respects your time and your wallet, focusing on the right protection rather than the most expensive plan.

Li Min, Electrical Engineer

Ken is very helpful and patience in explaining the policies in details. He helped and recommended me the most suitable insurance plan (definitely no hard selling). He also responds quickly to all my queries, even on hospital admissions and claims. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family!

Daya, Software Engineer

I have known Ken for more than 8 years. He has always been very honest in his work and service and has in-depth knowledge of the financial industry in Singapore.

Aini, Legal Secretary

Ken is very detailed, listening and understanding my plans and budget to plan out accordingly. He explains all my insurance plans patiently, answering every question and helping me see other future options. Client-oriented and not pushy at all, he gives great advice and suggestions to stay on top of my finances.

Jobu, Business Development Director

Ken is very experienced in financial planning and understands the market very well. His insights and knowledge of various segments can give you exponential growth to your monetary reserves. I strongly recommend Ken for a quick assessment to understand your needs and drive this further.
