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.

Judy Tan

When we purchase insurance, we are not only buying the product, but also the service rendered by the advisor. Due to this, it is important to have a good adviser who will stay with you in time of need. Karen is my family adviser and she had been a great help to me when I met an accident while holidaying on Norway. From the time of call to her, she had been a great help, liaising with my travel insurer on medical attention, talking to my surgeon to explore possible treatments and finally, the arrangement to fly back for my op. And finally arranging for my local and overseas medical claim. I will definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a responsible and capable adviser. Your finances and family will be in good hands.

Karen is my ex-colleague and when I found out that she is joining her husband in the insurance line, I got in touch to see if she can recommend me a plan to replace my existing one. Through our correspondence, I find her extremely prompt in her responses be it via messaging or via email. Her follow up skills are commendable and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is keen to seek financial advice.

Karen is my cousin and she's been a great help and resource to our family's financial planning so far. I'm sure your meeting with her will benefit you & your family greatly. You can also tap on her knowledge should you need an advice/opinion.

Allyson Ong

Wesley has been my financial planner for the past 10 Years. He is always sincere, and always think a step ahead for his clients. His service is excellent, and he is always an sms/call away. This is what let him stand out from other financial advisers. With Karen helping him in his career, she is amazingly sharp and is able to give great advice with her sound financial background. No one likes to buy insurance from hit and run agents. If you want good customization to your planning needs and super efficient follow-up service especially in times of urgent advice and claims, I am confident Wesley and Karen are the perfect financial planners to go to. :)

"Buying insurance feels like finding things in the dark without a torch. As such, a financial adviser will need to have sounds knowledge to shed light about policies and its complicated jargons. Karen is very knowledgeable with ultra patience level but what sets her apart from other adviser is her efficiency. She responds to queries with lightning speed. We are glad to have her handling our future plans!"
