Newsletter Issue 66: Self-Doubt & Self-Confidence

In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time.

Newsletter Issue 65: 80 Summers, 80 Winters, 1 Life

Statistically, most people live till an average age of 80 years.

For this issue, let us explore on what being positive means & how we can harness it in ways that truly benefit our lives.

Newsletter Issue 62: Social Media and Mental Health

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

When was the last time you received kindness from somebody? When was the last time you extended an act of kindness to someone else, and to what end? As it turns out, there can be tremendous merits and outcomes in paying forward a kindness received with a good deed to somebody else, especially when done out of gratitude.

In this issue, I hope we can draw some lessons and wisdom from these materials that can help us cultivate values and cultures that we want in our lives and lift us up.

Newsletter Issue 44: The Ability to Rethink & Reassess Our Minds

Meet my Singapore Financial Consultant

Hi My Friends Based in Singapore,

I have come to know about Jaslyn's reputation and online presence for the past 2-3 years already, normally we saw one another during our annual professional MDRT Global Conference. My acquaintance with her started in late 2023 when I was helping to prep her as one of the featured speakers in our MDRT Global Conference.

I decided to enrol for a retirement plan with Jaslyn mainly due to her consistent online presence and testimonial on how she has diligently help her clients reach their financial goals and consistent throughout the process to grow their funds.

As a financial advisor myself based in Jakarta, I noted that Jaslyn took time to listen and analyse what my financial goal and concern is, before even generation a proposal. A simple skill but rarely found in this fast-paced, solution-driven world.

Jaslyn's day to day scheduling is also above par and I can totally rely on her prompt responses almost immediately on my queries.

Jaslyn is sincere and on queries that she was not sure, she has no problem to consult and get back to me right after. Never once I felt I was being sold, but rather I felt understood and we brainstormed for best solution for the policy setup.

Not only is Jaslyn one of the celebrated financial advisors in Singapore, her past professional background in executive corporate level means her workflow is also efficient and detail-oriented. I know I can rely on her advice and updates as we embark in this financial journey.

Jaslyn truly stands out because of her commitment and dedication. She takes the time to fully understand my needs and then tailors her approach to ensure everything is covered, even if it means working beyond regular hours.

Her meticulous attention to detail and willingness to prioritise her clients’ needs makes her exceptional among advisors.

Jaslyn showed me how insurance can be structured strategically, not just as coverage but as a long-term safeguard for my family’s future.

I was travelling on a long overseas trip; however i wanted to made sure the family is covered before i leave; she was flexible and committed working late in her evening to make sure my family was covered before I left Singapore.

Absolutely, I would recommend Jaslyn. She’s not only knowledgeable but also goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel confident and secure in their decisions.

Meet my Financial Consultant Jaslyn

Hi Everybody,

I met Jaslyn through my friend. Even prior to meeting Jaslyn, I already knew about her as she was very well known in the industry!

I greatly appreciate Jaslyn’s honesty and reliability.

Some insurance agents in Singapore are very pushy and will hence, appear to be very dishonest.

However, I have never felt that way with Jaslyn as she has always very patiently explained the different financial products to us and never hard selling them.

The experience with Jaslyn was very smooth and straight forward.

Jaslyn has managed to simplify the explanation of the different financial products so that we can understand easily.

One key takeaway would be to start investing early so that I would benefit next time.

I would of course recommend Jaslyn to my friends and family!

If there are more agents like Jaslyn, then perhaps the insurance industry in Singapore would not be as misunderstood as it currently is 😊

Meet Jaslyn My Financial Consultant

Hi Everybody,

I knew Jaslyn through my good friends as they were working together.

Jaslyn felt the most reliable and knowledgeable, from her interactions with my friends and her social media. It felt like I could trust her advice and did not have to worry if she is just trying to sell me products for the sake of it.

The experience of going through this Financial planning process with Jaslyn was so pleasant!

Jaslyn wanted to help us with a financial review when she became our appointed FC, and she was very patient in explanations. Afterwards, we did not really think about purchasing many plans because of our wedding commitments and held it off.

Jaslyn was very patient and gave us the time and space to consider and did not rush us :) We then reached out to her again this year when our wedding was settled and she explained everything to us again!

She is very reassuring as she understands our budget and works things out around that budget.

The one key takeaway from the sessions is to "Start early and your future self will be thankful!"

I will confidently recommend Jaslyn to my family and friends.

Meet my Trustworthy Financial Consultant

Hi Everybody,

Jaslyn was introduced to us by another mutual friend who is her client.

All along, we had the hospitalisation plan with another company.

But after we met Jaslyn, this is the first time we understood completely about the plans.

When I was pregnant and wanted to get the maternity coverage with Jaslyn, she was able to articulate and explain in simple, yet detailed manner for us to understand clearly.

We had changed more than 2 agents before we met Jaslyn and the key difference between Jas and the rest is that the others only focused on the good sides of the plan.

But Jaslyn was the only one who would share with us both the pros and cons.

We are really happy with Jaslyn and her professionalism. If you need a dedicated and trustworthy Financial Consultant, please reach out to her.

I first met Jaslyn through a leadership programme.

Through the way Jaslyn shared the financial professional advice, I can truly see her passion in this career.

Jaslyn made the advisory and onboarding process very fuss free and “to the point”.

She guided me on every step, and was able to answer all my questions without going back and forth.

She explained the different options very well with clear details. The signing off process was also seamless and easy!

Meet My Financial Consultant Jaslyn

Hi Everybody,

Jaslyn, first and foremost, possesses an extremely motivated and driven personality. As an agent, she is attentive and passionate about what she does and does not hesitate to go the extra mile. One thing is for sure, She walks the talk.

Before I met Jaslyn, I had a trusted family agent for many years who manages all of our family's investments and insurance policy, from our business policy to personal policies.

However, after having met Jaslyn by chance over a common sports interest group - Aikido, she reached out to me in regards to wanting to value add to my business within her capacity.

Despite our similar interest, she has kept our meetings professional and impersonal. What I’ve valued most is she understands my interest at heart and isn’t pushy.

Within three meetings, she was able to draw out a comprehensive blueprint of my financial needs, my retirement & business goals.

She provided wholesome range of solutions to achieve them by addressing the implementation of each solutions based on my exposure on risk versus returns.

She is highly reliable as she is always a text / phone call away when I needed clarity with my financial plans. With that, I have confidence and trust in Jaslyn to advise and help me in making an informal decision.

Meet Our Caring Family Financial Consultant

Hi Everyone,

To start off, let me share how we came about to know about Jaslyn. So, I started following Jaslyn on LinkedIn because she posts so much interesting content about Financial Planning and I thought it’s very useful.

So when Ray and I found out that we were expecting a baby boy soon, we wanted to step up our financial planning game and that’s when I reached out to Jaslyn on LinkedIn.

I really like how Jaslyn made it very simple in talking about the four areas of Protection. That helped us understand what we have existing protection for and where we still need to step it up.

In particular I liked how Jaslyn didn’t force us to purchase anything, she is very patient and she really customise the offering to our needs.

I also like how she simplified complex concepts into very easy to understand one pagers which were really useful reference when we were making our decision on what options to buy.

The other thing we really liked about Jaslyn was how caring she is and how she use very personal examples and personal stories about how she arranged for protection to help us make a decision so that really helped.

All in all, we really enjoyed our experience with Jaslyn. Thank you Jaslyn!

Hi Everybody,

As I am stepping into adulthood soon, my brother highly recommended me to his financial consultant, Jaslyn.

When I met Jaslyn, I was engaged in the presentation which helped me understand more about the importance of starting early to plan my health and wealth.

Jaslyn reviewed and linked my policy to the rule of thumb which made me easily understand what I needed for my financial planning.

Meet My Financial Consultant

Hi Everyone,

I met Jaslyn back in my previous job as a business executive. She was sharing with me all the opportunities on health and investment related to my daily life.

I was only 23 back then. All these information gave me a head start in planning my life better.

Today I’m now a business entrepreneur focusing on real estate. Jaslyn is a huge inspiration to me to step out of my comfort zone to achieve my financial freedom.

I still remembered back then when I bought my first plan with her. She went the extra mile to travel to my house just to ensure that I’m fully covered.

Jaslyn has been very proactively to catch up with me to review my plans and value add me in terms of levelling up my business.

Compared to other Financial Consultants who are always keen to sell more. Jaslyn on the other hand, is genuinely interested in my growth and my future.

Before I met Jaslyn, I had several agents who joined and left the industry within a year. I felt that Financial Consultant should be like a lifetime partner to help us plan in different stages of life - after graduation, getting married, buying our first house, having children and eventually retirement.

I would strongly recommend Jaslyn to my friends who are always looking for trusted and reliable Financial Consultant.

Meet Jaslyn Who Treats Me Like Long Term Client

Hi Everybody,

Insurance is a long-term personal plan you need to trust someone with. As an agent, Jaslyn has used her warm personality and tailored recommendations to make the process seem more human and less technical.

I was recommended to Jaslyn by family members who have been long-term clients and understand why they continue to use her services. I felt there was less push to just buy Plan X and Plan Y and more of an understanding of what I needed.

There was a sense of support and care throughout the process where I was deciding how much to invest in the products and Jaslyn made me feel like a long-term client rather than a sales target.

This makes me more assured to using her services in the long-term as I start a new chapter of my life in Singapore — including investment and financial planning, an imperative decision to make as a young working adult.

I would definitely recommend Jaslyn to my peers who have not yet bought or are planning to restructure their insurance plans.

Meet my Trusted Financial Consultant

Hi Everybody,

I met her 9 years ago when both our children attended Shichida classes. She always had a smile on her face whenever I met her.

I approached Jaslyn to do a holistic review for me because I was feeling uncertain about my existing plans.

During the session, Jaslyn was able to help me analyse thoroughly about my current plans with good insights and clarity.

Being a fellow mother, Jaslyn also tries to find out my current financial situation and understands my needs before recommending her options to me.

Jaslyn has given me a strong sense of security and assurance in our discussions. Her detailed explanation was smooth and clear. She even came well prepared with charts to help me understand better to assist me with my investment portfolio.

Jaslyn takes time to fully make sure that I understand before proceeding and doesn't mind repeating and explaining the step-by-step whenever I have doubts.

I would strongly recommend Jaslyn because she is always so ready to answer questions, yet professional.

Of course her smile is always the best feeling! 👍🏼😁

Meet my Financial Consultant

Hi Everybody,

I have been in the investment banker for few years and I look after a global research team of my organization. Being in the Investment Sector, I am always on the lookout to find the right product suites.

I am constantly looking for many Financial Consultants which resonates with my personality qualities and family requirements. In the process of my findings, one day while I was browsing my LinkedIn, I looked up somebody profile name – Jaslyn.

Her profile was interesting and I probably took few days to read through Jaslyn background and post about what she has been doing. I realised that she carries lots of characteristics which resonate with my own way of thinking. And I was able to think and stuck upon someone who is the right fit to be able to be associated and look at my financial requirement. And see if she can bring value add to my personal life. This is how my journey with Jaslyn has started.

It was an amazing journey since day one. Because I hardly see people so well organised. Jaslyn is one of them which is corresponds to my personality. Along the way, she was able to give me most of the answer I wanted. The crucial part of her was that the information was simple and structured. I did not have to go through number of pages to identify the key policy terms and benefits and overall coverage of product. She took the initiative to understand my lifestyle, what do I do and my short-term goals. E.g. Kids education and family security due to the COVID-19 situation.

Overall experience, knowing her, communicating with her. She brings along clarity in her information. She is able to keep bringing me to the same track to what is important for me. If you are unclear, unsure at your journey of life, even if you are the master of the product, don’t worry reach out to Jaslyn. She can give you advice and value add proposition.

Thank you Jaslyn for all the guidance and support you have shown to me! I feel that I am not the investor, but you are the investor as you have spent the past 10 months with me walking me through what my family and I need.

Because of her I have peace of mind

Hi Everybody,

Jaslyn helped me to shore up my financial plans shortly after I moved back to Singapore.

Although I had a solid financial plan worked out, there were some protection gaps that could have led to disaster if not attended to.

Jaslyn was quick to spot these and recommend various possible solutions.

She clearly understands the value of what she is doing and can convey that to her clients in a way that they would understand and appreciate.

She listened attentively as I laid out my financial and life goals and worked closely with me to find the best solution.

Her focus was to find the right solution for me, rather than the most expensive or a pre-planned solution.

Although I work in the insurance industry and am very familiar with insurance products, Jaslyn demonstrated superior knowledge of how to use such products to support my goals.

Jaslyn is a very kind and caring person with a high level of integrity. I consider myself fortunate to have met her, and am extremely satisfied with the solutions that we agreed upon.

I feel that I have done everything reasonably possible to safeguard my dependants under almost any scenario. This is the supreme value of what Jaslyn does!

I would recommend that you meet with Jaslyn at least once to check that your financial arrangements are robust. Thank you Jaslyn!

Hi Everybody,

I met Jaslyn through direct recommendation from a trusted family member.

I approached Jaslyn as she is effortlessly empathetic, with a warm and friendly disposition that makes her trustworthy and approachable. She comes across as wanting to help me improve my life, rather than trying to sell me policies. Her maternal instincts and love for her children also fortify her sincerity.

Going through Financial planning process with Jaslyn was easygoing and felt more like a casual conversation than anything else. It was also informative and thorough, and it was greatly helpful that Jaslyn was able to explain the nitty gritty in colloquial terms for my understanding.

After the session, I better understood the concept of insurance, which gave me more confidence in embarking on the financial plan Jaslyn suggested to me.

I will absolutely recommend her to my friends as she exhibits a sincerity that Gen Zs value, which will enable her to connect well with others in my age group.

Hi Everybody,

Having little first-hand experience with insurance, I tended to have negative stereotypes about insurance, thinking that agents tend to be pushy in their sales and make you pay for unnecessary things. I found these assumptions dispelled after working with Jaslyn. Recommended to me by a friend, she was warm, open, attentive, patient and not pushy at all. I felt my needs were heard and that she chose policies with my interests and circumstances in mind. Thanks Jaslyn!

Meet my Trusted Financial Consultant

Being a professional speaker and trainer on how financial consultants can use social media to amplify their brand, I've been naturally on the look-out for consultants who embrace digital media to tell more stories of their work.

Meeting Jaslyn was a natural extension after seeing the good work she's done for her clients and for what she's been sharing on her social media platforms. I've found Jaslyn to be neutral, objective and highly client-focused in her dealings with me. She'll go out all out to help make the process convenient for me and also, making sure there is financial sense in the policy mix I've taken up.

Do get to know her. Would be great to have a good mind to tap on should you need an opinion.

Hi Everyone,

How you do one thing is how you do everything. That is the principle I observe of people. Jaslyn was one outstanding agent in the induction class that I taught. She paid attention throughout. She is invested. She is interested and contributed positively.

When I met her after the class, she was a full fledged Financial Consultant. So I casually asked her about some investment stuff. The way she replied showed me that she has done her work with diligence. That was why I decided to be her client. It was an awesome journey watching her grow from strength to strength. Overcoming obstacles of being a newbie in the industry and striving to be nothing but her best self.

She’s an inspiration. Her generous and gracious spirit in helping draws people to her.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, credible, true to herself, Jaslyn is the person you want to meet.

My privilege to be her trainer, client and friend.

Jaslyn was my colleague during FMC days and now she is not just a friend but also my FC.

She knew that I have few other plans with another FC, but she is never pushy. She is reliable and make recommendations based on your needs and affordability. I would highly recommend her, regardless you are buying your first insurance plan or looking to increase your coverage.

She approached me back in Jun 2018,when I 1st joined Prudential, with a sincere no obligation "sharing session". Most sales people meet with only 1 outcome they are looking for. Fast forward almost 2 years later, Jaslyn has shared selflessly on many occasions and on many platforms, that have inspired many, including me. Whenever she is in Scotts, she will make it a point to catch up, not to sell, but to keep in touch, because she knows how I value a true client-consultant relationship. She knows that I can't be buying policies everytime we meet, but what she knows is, she can count on the valuable exchange of information we share with each other, that brings new learnings.

Hi Hi Everyone,

I came to know of Jaslyn through her social media posting online; which I felt was genuine and warm - not the typical kind of insurance sales I was expecting.

I appreciate Jaslyn for her high level of efficiency, and commitment. She delivers on her promises, replies to messages fast, and ensures very prompt follow ups.

She was very open, and answered honestly to the many questions I had for her. If you are looking for someone to secure your insurance needs now, and into the future - I am sure you won’t go wrong with Jaslyn

More Than Just a Good Friend

I knew Jaslyn through my husband who is her ex schoolmate from NTU. It's been 5 years for our friendship and I always see her as a role model in life. Although she has only joined the industry for 2 odd years, but she have protected many lives through her own ways. My biggest take away from this friendship is to be able to entrust my family policies to her and I know we are in good hands. Continue protecting more lives and creating more impact Jaslyn!

Hi Everyone,

Jaslyn asked me what my requirements were, what I needed, where I was in my life and what I was looking for. When we met, she came up with a couple of options. We sat down and we went through the details.

Hi Everyone,

Many FCs will go on and come to you to sell you a product. But what Jaslyn did was, she's more concerned about what I do not have.

Hi Everyone,

I see thousands of people through my roles as an International Speaker, Consultant and Trainer, so it takes a very special professional to secure my services. Jaslyn unequivocally stood out from the crowd as someone who was meticulously professional, accurately attentive and emotionally invested in our conversations. Her authentic desire to utilise her products and services to better my family’s future shone through as she is a Wife and Mother herself. What ‘sealed the deal’ for me was how she led teams and trained others. During my due diligence phase of assessing Jaslyn, I saw multiple examples of her helping others to grow. That’s authentic leadership. I highly recommend Jaslyn to serious professionals who require the highest standard of service available in the insurance industry.

Hi Everyone,

24 years in this beautiful Industry and I am glad to have met an Advisor, whom I feel is a shining example of how to reach out to clients in a different way. In my trainings I remind Advisors that today, it’s what you do differently that sets you apart from the rest, and you Jaslyn are a perfect example! Keep “out of the box”, nothing great has ever happened within. I would like to learn more from you Jaslyn! Thanks for making me a Pru Prestige Client! To me you are JASLYN NG-MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES, DIFFERENTLY!!

Hi Friends,

I am excited to start my comprehensive financial planning with Jaslyn. I have many friends who are insurance agents. But my Aunty strongly recommend Jaslyn to me. I always thought that insurance is very complicated until I met Jaslyn. Contrary to popular myth, buying insurance is not as complex or confusing as what I originally thought. Just within an hour, I was able to understand completely the various options Jaslyn presented to me.

Hi Everyone,

I have no shortage of insurance agents surrounding me. To me, there is no difference in terms of insurance companies I buy from. Jaslyn is the only reason why I signed up with Prudential. I trust that Jaslyn will always be here for me and my family.
