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.

Jess Liu. Executive Director, Private Bank Team Leader

My trusted financial advisor Ruth Tan has been an invaluable asset to my financial stability and peace of mind. Her expert guidance in both insurance and financial planning, coupled with her exceptional follow-up service, has not only protected my assets but also helped me achieve my long-term financial goals. I can't recommend Ruth highly enough for her unwavering dedication and responsive support.

Crystalbel Foo. Public Service Officer

Ruth has an excellent work ethic and always goes the extra mile for her clients — I had spent close to a year looking for a Financial Consultant who could address my concerns before I met Ruth! Would definitely recommend her to everyone looking for a Financial Consultant (and friend) whom you can plan your life milestones with.

Chong Yuen Li. Project Manager

I always choose my financial consultant based on who is more trustworthy and chose them from among my close friends. But Ruth is different I do not know her prior meetup but found her online through FB. First meetup my impression of her was very good. She makes me feel comfortable to share with her why I want to buy medical insurance. Although she looks young (most of my agents are older than me) but she gave me impression she is a capable young mother whom I can trust. She is very efficient and knowledgeable and after just one appointment, I know I can trust her with my insurance plan. When I was admitted to hospital last Dec. She was quick to help me submit claims for my hospitalisation bills. I will not hesitate to recommend her to my family and close friends.

Serene Khor. Paralegal.

I met Ruth during a yoga retreat and then we become friends. Ruth is very professional and meticulous with her financial planning advice. She is very responsive and helpful whenever I need her helps with my insurance advice or claims. Her advice is tailored to meet my needs and she goes above and beyond to help every step of the way. She is quick to follow up on any questions that I have and is always just a text away. I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with financial planning.

Dr Claris Shi. Ministry of Health

I usually shy away from Financial Consultants but Ruth was so friendly and genuine, and didn’t laugh at my lack of financial planning knowledge! She took time to go through all my policies and identified areas where I needed coverage. She definitely goes above and beyond her call of duty and is so easy to talk to when I have any questions.

Joann Ong. Manager

I like that Ruth is genuine, honest and patient. She doesn’t hard sell, but instead she suggests the best possible plans that cater to my needs. She is very precise in her presentation and is always able to breakdown complex topics into simplified conversation. I would recommend her to my family and friends.
