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.

Yan Da , Facility Engineer

Get to know Alvin through a close friend and bought some plans from him. Alvin is very responsive to all my queries for 4 years.

Researcher, Physical Science, Wee Jian

Reconnected with Alvin about 4 years ago with interests of getting insurance policy. He was very patient in explaining the need of policy one should have and was not pushy unlike other agents that I have met. Throughout the years, he has been constantly following up with the policy I have and reviewing it as necessary. I would recommend engaging Alvin if anyone’s would require any kind of assistance in insurance policy.

Meng Yao SAF OFFICER

Personally, I am holding multiple insurance policies with other Financial Consultant and I have to say Alvin is different from the rest. He will find time to update on his customers the latest policy changes and try to understand them better. I was glad that he created an infographic to summarise my insurance coverage as it helps me to understand the overview of my insurance coverage. He is also knowledgeable in this field and explains very clearly in simple terms.

A great agent to have!

Rixing, Doctor

Alvin is a young hardworking gentleman. Pleasant and explains the bigger picture before elaborating on the details that you are interested in. Absolutely not pushy with any of the products and at no point do I feel obliged/forced to sign up for anything. He is young and plans to stay in the industry for many years. As such, he is someone I would recommend to others as he will be able to follow up with your portfolio in the years to come.
