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.

Are we in control of our own Decisions?

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.

Chris Maik (MOE Educator) & SiQi (Homemaker)

Jerry is much more than just our financial advisor. Ever ready to meet with a friendly smile, Jerry understands our concerns and constraints, and regularly keeps in touch to find out if we need to make adjustments as we go though the different phases of our family life. Friends of ours have got to know Jerry through us and they all have positive experiences with him too! His vast knowledge and experience in almost all things Singaporean adults go through makes Jerry a great person to ask advice and recommendations from. Thank you!

Shi Hua (MOE Educator)

I've known Jerry for more than a decade. From ex colleagues to friends, he is someone whom one can count on whenever you need advice. To me and my family, he is not just a financial advisor or your typical agent, he is a friend who is always ready to render his help and of course his expertise in his field of profession to make sure that me and my family are well taken care of in our health protection as well as our financial investments. One thing that sets him apart is that no doubts or worries that I have is ever too trivial for him. To him, what ever matters to us, matters to him and he will try his very best to help! So if u ever need a trustworthy and reliable advisor, Jerry is the man!

Eunice Chan (Year 3 AIA FSC), ex-Singapore Police Force

I met Jerry in 2021 as a manager of my FSC during that time and Jerry amazed me with his meticulous analytical skills and how he provided quality advice for my financial portfolio. Hence, I felt very assured that my friend - whom is also my FSC at that time, found a reliable mentor and manager. Moving forward a year later, I approached Jerry when I was considering to join the insurance line, and I never looked back ever since. Jerry has been an extremely supportive leader who is always there for me when I needed both contextual and practical guidance for my work. As a new FSC in 2022, the unwavering support Jerry provided me was beyond what I expected him to do. Till today, whenever I needed help, Jerry never says no. Thank you Jerry for making me conceptualise that I made the right choice for choosing this industry and for choosing you as my manager/mentor. I am looking forward to many more years to working with you and to achieve greater heights! đź’Ż

Danial Loke (Year 3 AIA FSC, Year 3 SUSS Undergraduate)

Jerry is a leader that leads by example. Not only is he generous with the knowledge that he possesses, his team is his priority which is really assuring. When we need guidance during JFW, he never fails to be there.​

Vicky Huang (Year 1 AIA FSC, Year 1 NUS undergraduate)

I first met Jerry in 2019 when I was curious about the financial industry and is looking for a good opportunity to join. 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!​

Hong Yang (Year 6 AIA FSC)

Ever since I joined Jerry back then in Oct 2017, he has always been a role model that I looked up to in all aspect. Other than being a leader and a father of 3 girls, he is in the Product Committee & ALMA. On top of all these, he is also a producer in AIA. Despite having to handle so many things, he never once turned down his mentees and FSCs that approached him for help. Instead of spoon-feeding his consultants with direct answer, he would guide the consultants by giving them “homework” to do then learn from it. With all the stuffs that he is currently taking on, I am really in awe with his time management, self discipline and mental strength. To me, Jerry defines “Extraordinary”.​ “The difference between Ordinary & Extraordinary is that little extra.”​
