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.

Seline | Financial Consultant

Thomas joined the industry slightly earlier than me, and he has readily offered a helping hand whenever I required his assistance. Even during after hours or over the weekends, Thomas is prompt with his replies and assistance. Beyond being a good-natured colleague, he is also an exceptional friend. Throughout the time that I've known him, he has proven to be an empathic listener who is there for me when times are tough. I have no doubts that these are qualities that will be experienced by his clients as well!

Suresh | IT Analyst

Thomas is very patient and detailed in taking me and my wife through the process of financial planning and the financial services he is able to provide. From my conversation with him, he displays great passion in financial planning and wealth management. He clearly understands my specific financial goals and needs to fulfil. Through our conversations, I find him to be highly efficient, dedicated, and thorough.

Dinesh | Network Specialist

I first met Thomas when he took over my policies after my previous agent left the industry. I had already forgotten my policy details as they were purchased some time ago, but he was very kind to reach out to me to refresh my memory. Thereafter, he also helped me to do up some policies for my family members, all while being very patient in explaining the details to us and addressing our queries. I'm very thankful for all his help.
