A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As we begin a fresh year, it is a good idea to not just evaluate ourselves based on the previous year on how we have been managing our lives, but also to find out ways to become more productive as we move along. In this issue, I'd like to share with you some powerful ideas on productivity and how we can make the best of our resources, time, energy and capabilities. Let's do this!

Why "Done is Better Than Perfect" by Sheryl Sandberg

The CEO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, has one of the best success quotes to live by: Done is Better Than Perfect. The innovative products that we know are constantly evolving; and we're not likely to ever reach perfection as no one has. Instead, getting things done is more important than being perfect, and this applies to various areas in our lives.

Creating Time: How to Master the Art of Intentionality

Global economic indicators suggest that despite the additional hours that people work daily, outcomes remain low. Everyone is busy — but that isn’t necessarily translating into productivity. According to Harvard University researchers, our attention wanders away from what we’re doing 46.9% of the time. For both leaders and employees, that’s half the work day. Half a day of not being fully present with tasks and people. This lack of presence is costly.

Goh Lyndy, Private Flight Attendant (Client since 2015)

Jacqueline is highly committed to her profession. She has an outstanding work ethic and has made the process of dealing with insurance easy and seamless. Whenever I am in doubt or have questions, she is always able to provide insurance counseling and advice. Her patience towards the elderly definitely shows as she handles my mum’s policies as well. She is able to explain the policies in a different way, to my mum so that she understands better and feels very assured. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline to anyone without hesitation or reservation. Thank you for always having my best interest at heart and ensuring that I am well covered!

Sharon Eng, Administrator (To 20 years before (I think!), and 30 years more.

I cannot remember when I started with Jacqueline but I will focus on the recent years. She has been nothing but heartfelt during my cancer stint. Her concern for her customers always stem from her heart. Her tenacity to make sure we are well taken care of in times of personal needs goes beyond selling insurance. When my father passed in 2022, Jacqueline was again there for me, helping me sort out insurance issues with the hospital so I can focus on the living and giving me time to grieve. Once again in later 2022, I had to go through a minor surgery and she took it upon herself to find me a suitable surgeon and followed through with claims and her personal touch of “after care”. I have more memories of how she touched my heart but I will save them for future testimonials. Agents are a dime plenty, but it is AIA’s honour to have someone like Jacqueline on their team. Thank you Jacqueline.

Bernard Tan, Business Development Manager (Client since 2003)

I opined that the insuring of ourselves, and in some cases our loved ones, are one of the many things that a responsible adult should always plan to do. There are just too many dramatic real-life cases of detrimental occurrences, telling us of the financial and emotional meltdowns we could bring to our family, should we have not insured ourselves during times when misfortune knocks on our doors. Also, we thought it is important that we do not just insure ourselves thoroughly, but to also conduct the same with a reliable underwriter which possesses sound track records, and with a seamless claims process. I have known Jacqueline for slightly over 30 Years, and had since 2 decades ago entrusted the whole insurance portfolio of my family with AIA, through this uniquely dedicated insurance agent & friend. Jac had been through with me and my family, at our various life stages; from the time when I was just married with a kid, till the later season when my 2 kids are in their teens, and now when my wife and I are in the midst of concluding our retirement. I remember vividly, that Jac would often be with me, or with my children to the hospital/clinics, so much so that she was, almost always, mistaken to be my wife, or my kids’ mother. Jacqueline was, and had always been with us when we got ourselves into such trouble. She is our go-to person when we need financial & security advise, the first person to come to mind whenever we encounter injuries, and incidents of any kind. While I may not be the best testimony to a well-trusted and dependable financial planner (I do have many to compare with), I am thankful that we to have Jac with us all thru’ these many years. We have heard of many stories that would bring bad reputation to the occupation; nonetheless, we are blessed that we are served by one who serves with a heart, who is considerate about our circumstances, mindful of our needs and always proposing solutions that best meet our needs, while not forgetting the depths of our pockets at the same time. I am delighted that I have chosen AIA; if I am given a chance to choose again, I will most certainly do the same, through Jacqueline nevertheless, to have AIA as our trusted insurance partner and provider. 05 Feb 2023

Christine Yue, Founder of Lor Bak Mama & Business Consultancy (Client since 2012)

Jacqueline has been a close personal friend for over 20 plus years. When I knew she was going into financial planning, I did not hesitate to go with her as my agent and have never looked back since. Jacq is caring, responsive and goes out of her way for clients. I have recommended many friends to her over the years. Now she helps me with my child's policy and I am very thankful I have someone trusted with me all these years. She is my no. 1 agent and a great personal friend that you can trust wholeheartedly.

Eric Chua, Finance Manager (Client since 2003)

I got my first policy from Jacqueline since 2003 after I got my first job since I completed my national service. She was introduced by a friend who had full of compliments of her service and professionalism. Since then, there was no turning back, I bought more policies from her and even for my kids. I did supported a few friends from other insurance companies but none of them is as responsible as Jacq and AIA remains the most efficient in terms of processing any claims. Over the years, I will not hesitate to introduce Jacq to my peers or families whenever they need help with their insurance. She is the best agent around and still going strong! Truly appreciate her assistance all these years. 08 Feb 2023
