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.

Jeremy Wong, School Counsellor

Gary has been essential in my financial planning journey. He is knowledgeable on the different plans in the market, detailed, enthusiastic in what he does and is able to guide me on strategizing for my retirement! Thank you!

Sobri, Teacher

Gary has been great at explaining everything clearly and in a way that’s easy to follow, which is helpful since I sometimes lose track of the details in my portfolio. It’s reassuring to know he’ll be there if anything goes wrong, especially when it comes to handling claims. My meet-ups with him feel more relaxed and more personal than with other advisors—I enjoy working with him!

Kay Boon, Marketing Executive

I’m happy to know Gary. Super approachable, down-to-earth, dedicated in his follow up, and most importantly, provides unbiased and sound advice that have really worked for me. Gary is never pushy but instead, he listens, takes time to understand, answers all my trivial queries and comes back with viable solutions. Deeply appreciate his professional service delivered with a very warm human touch!

Johnathan, Airline Personnel (Admin)

Linked up with Gary after attending a company talk with the interest to find out more on existing coverage & any potential shortfall on my end. He is very informative, takes time to explain the policy and most importantly makes an effort to understand my lifestyle & needs. No hard selling or overselling, instead it is more of a personalised recommendation from his end which best suits me. Most importantly, he is not pushy & goes the extra mile to do a concise summary on what was shared during the meetup. Gary is definitely someone I would recommend to my friends if they are in need of any financial advice/services.

Yanni, Manager

Appreciate Gary for always open to share his financial knowledge as well as his knowledge on various policies available.

Sam Neo, Senior Representative @ Investor Relations

I was not aware of my lack in coverage on certain policies until I met up with Gary who did a comprehensive review and understand my current situation. I am also grateful that he assisted in the application of my new policies.
