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.

Erik Lane

I am very lucky to have come across a consultant like Ruth. She has been very professional, reliable and has proven to be very trustworthy in our dealings. She also happens to possess a fantastic sense of humor (which of course, I appreciate tremendously). But in all seriousness, Ruth is very dependable and always has my back, despite the hour of the day. She has proven this on more than just one occasion. I would recommend Ruth highly as I do not know of a more professional consultant amongst those that work with my peers.

Julie Wulandari. Nurse

For someone so small, she is BIG on: Responsibility Understanding Trust Helpfulness Ruth is patient and sincere in wanting to help me plan for my future, but also understanding my needs for the present. Most importantly, the warmth she exudes assures me that I can rely on her if ever I need help. I definitely made the right decision with Ruth.

Simon & Tiara Fischer

We have been searching for an insurance provider for the past 3 years and always came out feeling frustrated as most Financial Consultants are not knowledgeable in the products we were interested in, instead pushing us something that we don’t need. We were introduced to Ruth by a mutual friend who switched her insurance policies to Ruth after her dad had a stroke. She went through a medical scare and I saw firsthand how Ruth helped her and provided an excellent service. Ruth provided something other Financial Consultants didn’t in the past - she cares. When our daughter was born, we decided to approach Ruth to propose a plan and recommend products for our child’s future. We are impressed with her insights and touched by her dedication. We cannot recommended her enough.

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.

Najiah Binte Ramlee. Public Service Officer

Ruth is so bubbly and positive, it’s always a joy to meet her. But seriously, she has been a great help especially with my life insurance. Here, she has proven herself to be someone who goes the distance to help make sure the coverage is what you need or want, especially for me with existing conditions - and that’s rare to find. Even if it’s just a chat to find out more, she’s more than happy to share her knowledge so do reach out to her!

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.
