| Women have long played a huge part in our society and economy. When it comes to uplifting women, the work extends beyond just international women's day or month. In fact, it requires continuous effort from not just leaders, but also every day folks like us to recognise and appreciate the great potential of women in our lives. In this issue, I'd like to share insights on how we can be enablers of women's progress while staying aware of the realities and struggles they may face. I hope this helps us in empowering the women and girls in our midst. | | Women’s Voice: How to encourage female leadership in an organisation Women may not realise how poised for success they are in leadership roles. | | 7 Brave Steps to Become Fearless Growth and comfort can’t ride the same horse. It’s a lesson that holds true for all of life. What we want most will always require embracing discomfort and taking action despite our fear that we'll fail or fall on our face. In the end, there is no substitute for courage, no shortcut to bravery. To become the person you most need to be and create the life you most yearn to live, you must be willing to do the things that scare you. Again and again and again. | | Teach girls bravery, not perfection | Reshma Saujani | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

I have talked to a few planners before eventually deciding to join Jerry’s team. One of the main reasons is that he gave me a very clear and objective view of the industry and what to expect etc. and he was very genuine in his sharing. Now, moving forward, Jerry is my mentor and he has inspired me to be a more hardworking individual. He has provided me with guidance in my journey as a student financial planner and he is always there to listen, help and give feedback even though he is very busy. Looking forward to learn more from Jerry! | | | | Pearl Lim (AIA MDRT qualifer) I became a mother in 2012 and i made many new mummy friends through Facebook. At that time i was looking for an insurance agent to get some plans for my newborn.
That was when I was introduced to Jerry in 2013 by one of the mummies, Irene.
I got some plans for my son, followed by myself and my other family members as we feel that Jerry is a very knowledgeable and responsible person.
Even though he is very busy with work, he would definitely meet in person to process claims or give financial advice.
At that time, I was a relationship manager handing corporate accounts in a bank. He asked if I was interested to become a financial planner and join him in his mission to save more lives and help people in financial planning. I rejected him straight away as I have insecurities about financial stability as a self employed.
It was after the birth of my second child that I started having problems striking a balance between family and work. Subsequently, I left my job at the bank and joined his team in early 2017.
Since then, I never looked back... even though my first 2 years were tough. I am enjoying my job now!
Jerry continues to handle some of my insurance plans, hence, he is now my planner, my friend, my mentor and also my boss. He gives me a lot of freedom in the way I run my business and he will review my performance regularly and update me on my progress for various campaigns and awards and motivate me to achieve more.
Because of his constant support in this career, I am thankful that I was able to achieve MDRT this year despite the pandemic situation. | | | | Rayney Chew (Retiree, ex-DSO staff) I met Jerry through a friend many years ago where he took over my policies as my financial advisor.
He is very knowledgeable about his work and is able to explain the policies to me in simple terms. He is a professional individual and has been a dedicated advisor as he shares and reviews my policies regularly. It assures me that my family's policies are also taken care by him. I also had some great advice from him in terms of financial and long term life planning.
Thanks Jerry for the meetup! As well as helping to take care of my family's policies over the years!🙏🙏🙏 | | | | Hon Van (Accountant, Penta-Chem Services) We first knew Jerry and his team from 2018, they are not only our insurance advisor but also became our friends.
When we have any questions or need any help from them, they will respond to us very quickly, answering all our queries. At the first meetup, my husband and I trust him because of his expertise, his patience and his friendly nature. When any friend ask me about any insurance agent, I am very confident to introduce them to Jerry and his team.
Thank you Jerry and your team for everything. :) | | | | Kalvin Toh (Director) Kokoro Crystals Kokoro Tea House
Since the day Jerry started in his current role, he manage our insurance policies for my immediate family members. Although we had advisers before him, we did not come across someone who is as responsible and hardworking as him. Detail explanations in our liabilities and protection, diligently help us during mishap and claims, responsible when comes to updates and renewal, I can say, he has covered the protection and security part of our lives.
Moreover, having him manage our financial assets, we sturdily have a healthy yield yearly. Also, my businesses’ liabilities are properly covered without having to spend extras with his detailed analysis of my business needs. Not only being an adviser, he also perform the role as a supporter in recommendations of my businesses and products to his other clients, making it a win-win situation.
Jerry also exercise his professionalism perform out of scope sharing with life’s experiences, marketing ideas and strategies. Also be it you need a plumber or a doctor, he will always have someone to recommend.
Throughout my journey in life, I have come across many advisers, but Jerry has perform beyond professionalism. | | | | Ernest Toh (Year 2 AIA FSC, Year 3 NTU Undergraduate) “Focus on your studies, I want you to do well in studies”, that’s was what Jerry told me during our first meet up. That’s when i knew that he is different from other leaders, who cares about the well-being of his associates.
I know that I am in good hands under his guidance and very lucky to have him as my mentor. Jerry is very patient and nurturing, an educator at heart. He take time off his busy schedule to conduct training sessions with us and ad-hoc video calls whenever I needed help.
He’s always ready to respond to my questions even late at night. Even though my journey have just started, I’m already looking forward to reach greater heights with Jerry and the team. | | | | |
