Research seems to point to the fact that those who engages in deeper conversations with others are happier people. This is what I call a happy finding. It levels with what makes us human. We speak, we listen, we feel, we learn, we take and we give. And deeper conversations allow us to lift each other up. | Why You Need to Start Having Deeper Conversations Conversationally, introverts prefer to dive deep. We want to know what's really going on in your head, or to talk about something interesting we've read, heard, or watched, among other meaningful topics (link is external). And, it turns out, deep talk is actually good for us, whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or neither. | Talk Deeply, Be Happy? People who spend more of their day having substantive discussions and less time engaging in small talk seem to be happier, a new study found. | How To Never Run Out Of Things To Say In Conversation | Proudly Brought to You I hope you have enjoyed this issue of my InTouch newsletter.

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. | | | Joselene Wee (Executive Officer) I met Jerry in 2015 where we started out as work partners. Throughout the years of supporting him as a BDM, I know he is definitely someone whom a person can trust fully in terms of personal or financial advice. I then decided to leave my insurance needs in his hands. Despite his ever busy schedule, he ensured that I’m aware he’s always still around. We’ve got to admit this, there are insurance agents out there who can never be found.
Jerry went the extra mile in providing advice when I decided to take a leap of faith to purchase my first property. Without this, I would have been so lost in planning my finances.
All I can say is Jerry is definitely the man to go to. He’ll never fail or disappoint you. He’s a GEM and I really appreciate all that he had done for me. | | | 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!🙏🙏🙏 | | | 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”.

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. | | | Matthew (MOE Educator) & Rebecca (Full-time tutor) Jerry was my (Rebecca) classmate in university and has always come across as a warm and helpful friend.
Today, also as our financial advisor, he continues to give timely advice and a listening ear to our concerns. There were instances where we consulted him and his unassuming nature and objective perspective encouraged us greatly in our decision making process.
We are thankful that our paths have crossed and we would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends who are in search of a trusted and reliable advisor.
Thumbs up for Jerry! | | | | |
