| Do we need to get better at time management? Or do we need to instead think about Time itself? More specifically, what it means to us - with the very limited time that we have. The answer would be different for each of us. But I'm rather certain that taking time to ponder about Time itself can be a fruitful thing to do. | | Forget About Time Management and Do This Instead To get the most out of every day, first rethink your relationship to time. | | 5 Reasons Why Non-Digital Time Management Is More Productive While the ubiquity of tech-driven tools may make the process of managing our time easier than ever, we may actually increase our productivity by decreasing efficiency through an analog, manual, pen-and-paper system, like Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal. | | This boy asks his mom an interesting question | | Proudly Brought to You I hope you have enjoyed this issue of my InTouch newsletter.

It’s been a privilege to have Laura advise me, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs good financial advice. | | | | 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.
| | | | Gerard Tong . Director, Epitrain Pte Ltd Adjunct Professor. SMU, NUS Let me start by saying I am not an easy person to deal with. I am impatient, opinionated and stubborn.
The fact that Laura has been servicing me since 2004, and is the only Financial Advisor whom I have bothered to speak more than 5 words to, speaks volumes of her approach, presentation and knowledge.
From the start, I made it clear that as a (now retired) financial market professional, I was not interested to hear about investment-linked policies, believing that I could do a better job that the fund managers. Laura kept that in mind, and respected that, occasionally making a passing recommendation on a fund she felt was really worth looking at, but immediately putting that aside as soon as I impatiently gave her a dismissive wave. Instead, she focused on building up a portfolio of policies which covered other critical areas, such as death, sickness, mortgage protection and such. Never over-selling, she would not push more coverage than was required to me.
Not the sort of insurance agent to close a deal, collect their commission and forget the client, Laura readily advised and assisted with claims, and consistently checked up on my situation in life, personal and financial to review my coverage, even advising me on my plans to scale back as my coverage requirements shrank with age.
Just this month, after identifying that I was losing interest in managing my own money, but still wanting superior returns, she sold me a bond fund policy, after years of watching my dismissive hand. It shows great professionalism, keeping mum about investment-linked policies all these years, but always keeping a look out for changes in my life state, and bringing it up again when it has become appropriate.
If you’re looking for a professional, competent, reliable Financial Advisor (in truth, we all NEED one, even if we have not realised it yet), who genuinely cares about you, then look no further.
| | | | 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! | | | | 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. | | | | |
