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.

Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them. | World’s richest man says highly intelligent people do this one thing To Amazon billionaire and world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, this phrase is extremely true.

Staff Nurse Wendy was introduced by my friend 4 years ago and I have entrusted her to be my financial planner since then.
She has assisted me with the types of financial plans that deem to benefit me best, concerning my age and health, for the present and future.
Wendy is friendly, positive, patient, and always carries a positive and always-ready attitude to deal with any concerns that I have. Add on, despite late hours. Importantly, she planned along with my budget yet ensured what I required was covered. Especially the basics.
One of her strongest qualities is her effort to do reviews with her clients every now and then, to improve on her services, and to keep our profiles up to date.
Choose. Her. 👍🏻 | | | Roger C, .Management Trainee I was referred to Wendy by my cousin who works her financial portfolio with Wendy too.
During my first meet-up with Wendy last Aug/Sept, we spent more than 2 hours to find out what is my needs and she provided me the most suitable recommendation.
I find Wendy is professional, helpful, and reliable to work with. | | | Alan,. Finance VP I have met numerous insurance agents in my working life so far (including friends and referrals), and Wendy is one who stood out from the rest for me. She is professional and advises well, and not once did I feel she was pushy in selling any policies to me.
I first got to know her through a marketing call from her many years ago, and despite not purchasing any policy from her initially (as I was adequately insured at that time), she followed up with me over the years, understanding my needs at every point of the time and displayed utmost patience in updating me of any latest products that might be of interest to me.
One quality I appreciated about Wendy is how she's able to see through my lens and analyse my decision-making. That is why I knew I wanted to engage Wendy when I decided to increase my medical coverage and also make some financial planning (bought new policies from her in 2023 and 2024). Really appreciate her sincerity! | | | Joanne J,. Executive Wendy has been able to provide insurance planning and advice for me. She is very knowledgeable in her profession and is a pleasure to work with as well.
A great community booster, Wendy likes to stay in touch with what’s happening and usually gives updates. I am glad to call her a friend and would highly recommend her as a Financial Consultant. | | | Norman C,. Regular Officer Wendy was really professional in the whole planning process, explaining the importance of financial planning, be it through investment or insurance.
She was also patient in explaining how investment works and how she does her homework to be kept abreast of what is the economy and market like and make more informed decisions.
Wendy is very friendly and approachable and what I think is most impressionable is that instead of hard selling, she takes the time to explain the different plans and recommends what is affordable and reasonable based on your financial abilities. | | | Melissa L,. Social Service Assistant Throughout the process of planning, Wendy was very patient to explain to me the terms and policies. She would do her best to help me in getting the best out of my policies & that is with much thinking and planning she did before meeting me.
She is available and there whenever I need help with my policies and would make the effort to come to my area to meet me when I was unable to go far.
She is understanding and is always on the lookout for policies that might be suitable for me and also allowing me to have sufficient time to process. The decision to choose her was because I trust her, she is responsible for what she does & always does her best. | | | | |
