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.

Shenglin (Research Associate)

Previously, I usually just researched and picked one insurance I thought was most reasonable. I don't trust people for financial planning. Ben's appearance broke this darkness and brought light. He is patient and responsible. We had about three sessions to talk about my insurance plans. I was new in Singapore, and he resolved every concern and question I had and walked me through the plans for me in great detail. Instead of rushing into any recommendations, he spent time to understand my needs and my current situation. It is easy to make a recommendation based on experience, but it is precious for an agent to research and come up with the most suitable one for the client. He is friendly and nice. He created a safe and comfortable environment for us to discuss. I liked some small chats with him, and I could sense that he also cared about my mental health by recommending the trails in Singapore as a friend. If you would like a person who helps you with financial planning, my suggestion? BEN.

Ben Chew (Research Assistant)

Benjamin Koh has been an excellent advisor for wholistic evaluation on finance. Going through various aspects to ensure what his clients are missing and also their main goals in life. He isn’t afraid to provide a different view to help his clients grow in their wealth but also in ensuring their healthcare remuneration are in check as well. He is bright in nature which in turn, makes it pleasant to approach him when in doubt and learning from his advice - knowing he has done his research as well.

Joel (Product Manager)

I bought the AIA hospital plan from Benjamin. I've known him back during our NS days. He is a down-to-earth person whom I feel comfortable entrusting the insurance planning to. Ben takes the time to patiently explain the policy coverage and does not hard-sell products that are not required based on my needs and abilities at the moment. Recommend.

Ebenezer Chan (Doctor-In-Training)

Benjamin is someone I've known since my secondary school days & I can say that he is definitely passionate in helping others with financial planning. He ensures that we meet up at least once a year to update me on all the relevant policy changes & review my financial priorities. True to what others have feedback about him, he is patient, concise & knowledgeable in his explanation. Needless to say, I enjoy my annual review with Benjamin as it is always an informative session on my finances while catching up with an old friend.

Seth (Student)

I’m a student with no prior knowledge about finance or investments at all, thus I was a bit unsure or “paiseh” before consulting Ben. But to my surprise, he was super enthusiastic about answering my questions (no matter how minor) and was very VERY patient with me to help me understand even the basics of investments and insurances. I’m very grateful for the advice he gave me!

Eileen (Pre-School Teacher)

阳光灿烂的Ben! 诚恳,耐心及充满阳光的保险代理人,Ben. 从我买保险至今,见过也换过好多位保险代理人,他们都没有完全解决我对于保险内容的问题。 Ben 却能给我满意的答案,也给了我无数宝贵意见。Ben给人的第一个印象是满面笑容,充满阳光,说话的语气也饱含信心与诚恳。我是个爱发问也爱打破砂锅问到底的人,可是,Ben能耐心地聆听我的问题,然后会尝试以图片,文字以及种种不同的方式分析利与弊,直到我理解和满意为止。 借此机会,我诚意推荐Ben 作为您的 保险代理人,相信您将得到尽善尽美服务并认同我的推荐。谢谢。
