| Women have long played a huge part in our society and economy. When it comes to uplifting women, the work extends beyond just international women's day or month. In fact, it requires continuous effort from not just leaders, but also every day folks like us to recognise and appreciate the great potential of women in our lives. In this issue, I'd like to share insights on how we can be enablers of women's progress while staying aware of the realities and struggles they may face. I hope this helps us in empowering the women and girls in our midst. | | Women’s Voice: How to encourage female leadership in an organisation Women may not realise how poised for success they are in leadership roles. | | 7 Brave Steps to Become Fearless Growth and comfort can’t ride the same horse. It’s a lesson that holds true for all of life. What we want most will always require embracing discomfort and taking action despite our fear that we'll fail or fall on our face. In the end, there is no substitute for courage, no shortcut to bravery. To become the person you most need to be and create the life you most yearn to live, you must be willing to do the things that scare you.

© Laura Hoi, All rights reserved. | |  | | Dr Tan Eng Hoe & Mary We have known Laura for several years now. Recently, I reached out to her to get her opinion about some retirement plan options. She did not push us any products but instead patiently helped us to make a decision based on our needs at our current stage of life.
She was very patient in going through our all our existing policies that we have purchased through the years and offered very clear explanations.
We are very thankful for her advice and would strongly recommend her to anybody looking for a different perspective from a trusted financial consultant.
| |  | | Jeremy Koh. Senior Manager. ASM I was first introduced to Laura by a close friend in 2021 when I shared with him that I needed some help on CPF planning for my retirement.
When I first met Laura, I was impressed with her level of professionalism. She took the time to really understand my financial situation, my goals and my needs before recommending what I should do with regards to my query on my CPF monies.
She is very clear and simple in her explanations and gave me a very clear overview and provided me with financial advice beyond what I had expected, and not just confined to retirement planning.
Laura is not pushy in her approach and is sincere, knowledgeable and experienced. I am glad to have her to help me manage my portfolio and strongly recommend anyone who needs professional and trusted advice to meet up with her. | |  | | Jennifer Chua I’ve been with Laura for more than a decade, and my experience with her has always been reassuring and positive. She is consistent, patient, and someone I know I can rely on whenever I need clarity or support.
What makes her different from other financial consultants is her sincerity and the way she explains things in a simple, transparent manner. She never rushes through discussions and always puts my needs first.
I chose Laura because I trust her. She has been steady throughout different stages of my life, and her advice has always been thoughtful and timely.
One memorable moment that stands out for me is how she supported me during a major life transition when I fell sick. Thanks to her encouragement to enhance my critical illness coverage earlier on, the policy came in at the right time—just a year later—when I needed it most. She checked in, guided me patiently through the process, and made everything so much easier during a very difficult period. | |  | | Rayn Ngong. Senior Vice President. GIC Laura was introduced to me in 2002, not long after I had just started working. Over the years, she has maintained close contact with me and has been regularly updating me and my family in our financial planning journey.
Of all the Financial Consultants I have met, Laura has been the most conscientious and comprehensive in her financial planning strategies. With her competent advice over the years, I have been able to comfortably plan for my family's protection as well as our wealth accumulation needs. At the same time, as Laura is a certified Estate Planner, she has also helped me in the area of legacy and estate planning.
Getting a trusted consultant who looks out for you is important. I am thankful that I have not just found a trusted financial consultant, but also a good friend who has seen me through the different stages of my life. | |  | | Sharon Lim, Senior Director. MINDEF Laura has been advising me for almost two decades, and I trust and value her deep expertise and wise counsel.
What really makes Laura stand out is her genuine care for her clients. She focuses on the client’s unique circumstances and needs, and customises her recommendations with her clients’ best interests in mind.
It’s been a privilege to have Laura advise me, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs good financial advice. | |  | | Leung Wai Hoong. Chief Strategy Officer. New H3C Group Laura has been my financial advisor for nearly 20 years. I am impressed with her professionalism and the passion she displays in her work. She is a strong listener and is able to fully grasp my requirements to design and recommend well-suited products for my needs.
Her breadth and depth of professional knowledge is amazing, which she leveraged well to provide me with adequate and timely information so that I can make correct and informed decisions. Furthermore, she goes out all the way for her client to ensure strong satisfaction in her services.
Over the years, Laura has been conscientious in tracking my professional and personal development and proactively provided advice on financial products to cater to my evolving needs. Laura has also extended her services to cover the needs of my wife as well as my children.
Through Laura, we have committed to a number of insurance plans such as life, term, accident, hospitalization, annuity, ILP and SRS! With such a portfolio and lifecycle perspective for my entire family, there is no reason not to continue to use her services!
I have also referred a number of friends to her and the feedback from them indicated the same high level of responsiveness and professionalism that I have experienced in interacting with Laura. It is thus also no surprise that she has been a high-flying professional in her line of work, and I wish her all the best for her continued success! | | | | |
