A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

This Testimonial is written for Mr Brian Tan, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to him, no amount of words can describe my heartfelt thanks to him, but here it is anyway, the moment you meet him and start talking to him, you can feel his sincerity, professionalism. To me, he is one of a kind as a advisor, he goes through your policies with you, giving you advises and let you know your needs, and doing all this with genuine patience, along the way he shares his life story with you too. He is someone with positive energy, and you can tell that he made it today by sheer hard work, I really salute him for this.

Ken Tan.Market Research Specialist

I’ve first met Brian when I moved to Singapore 3 years ago and he was my landlord at first. Over time I’ve got to know his occupation and being new to Singapore, I decided to get my insurance from him. He is super kind and genuine as person, always willing to extend a helping hand. I’ve consulted him on many occasions about my policy and procedures and always goes above and beyond to help. I was also very impressed at how he puts so much time/effort into each of his clients and professionalism towards the job. I’m grateful to have met him and I feel assured that I can trust and rely on him when it matters! Wishing Brian all the best in his journey :)

Siew Yen & Family.Supply Chain & Logistics Manager

We have policies with other agents prior to knowing Brian. There were agents who are only interested to close deals as well as agents who are really helpful. However I have never met one like Brian who is committed to his customer's interest as his 1st priority. It's not about how much the policy is, closing more deals and the qty of policies we are purchasing. It is about what we really need and what we can afford. He went the extra miles to help, understand and compile all our policies even if we did not purchase from him or AIA for a better overview of what we lack in our current coverage. The amazing thing is he does not stop here, he reviews and update these compilations whenever needed too. We can feel his sincerity and authenticity through his actions. Even my children can feel it and had decided to entrust Brian with their policies too. Thank you very much, Brian.
