In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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. The concept of "Paying It Forward" is nothing new, but in our world, I believe we could do with more compassion and selflessness as it brings out the best in us.

The Art of Paying it Forward Without Spending a Dime

When we pay it forward we commit an act of selflessness that transcends our connection to other humans on the planet, elevating the human experience in a positive way. Whether it’s a showing of kindness, faith, or even compassion, it all makes a difference and can potentially trigger a chain reaction of reciprocated behavior.

The Power of Altruism

Classical economics adopts a model that says people are primarily driven by material self-interest. Political science assumes that people are driven to maximize their power. But this worldview is clearly wrong. In real life, the push of selfishness is matched by the pull of empathy and altruism. This is not Hallmark card sentimentalism but scientific fact: As babies our neural connections are built by love and care. We have evolved to be really good at cooperation and empathy. We are strongly motivated to teach and help others.

Elaine, Teacher

Jess was knowledgeable and genuine. She ensured that whatever she shared would be useful and beneficial for me by asking for my future plans and budget, instead of simply sharing whatever she wanted to. This made the sharing on the point and not too draggy or a waste of time. What I like about HSBC life is that they cover babies' even before they're born - contrary to all other companies where u have to convert the plan only 14 days after baby's birth, in order to be able to provide documents that they don't have pre-existing medical condition.

Bhavani Deva, Psychologist

I felt that the session was very fruitful and I’m glad to have opened up to hearing more from Jess despite having more insurance agent. The way Jess shared was very clear, straight to the point and felt genuine. 😀 I’m truly glad to have met Jess!

Marina, Training Manager

I am happy to have Jess advising me how to manage my financial more structurely. I'm a firm believer and doer in diciplined savings since young. But perhaps similar to many, have many hobbies and find little time to think financial stuffs. Jess has been very friendly, non-pushy and genuine with her advice. I like her open minded plus listening ears. She has able to show me a simple yet clear step by step route map how to view and plan for my financial sytematically. Speak with Jess, you'll feel relax and easy chatting with her and sametime learn new ideas stress-free. For me, i feel secure now coz there are tailored plans in place to safeguard my money and grow to take care my future retirement without needing me changing my style!! 😉

Serene Loo, Marketing Manager

I’ve had the pleasure of engaging Jess Liew to obtain insurance policies for myself and my babies. When I first engaged Jess in 2021 – I truly appreciated her bubbly demeanor, easy conversations, professionalism, fuss-free service and quick follow ups. When I had a baby number two in 2023, I decided to engage her services again to ensure baby and myself could receive the best possible coverage. Despite facing several challenges and hurdles, including complicated paperwork and stringent underwriting requirements, Jess remained unfailingly positive and determined, guiding me every step of the way to ensure we secured the right policies. She even went through the trouble of creating a template that I could easily pass on to the doctor’s clinic to ensure we got all the information that was required. Thanks to her perseverance, our application was approved! Grateful for the exceptional service and would highly recommend Jess to anyone seeking an agent who would go above and beyond for their clients. Jess is a professional and a credit to the industry!

Su Ann, Marketing Manager

I didn't know what to expect out of my session with Jess but it was surprisingly helpful for me to review my coverage for my existing policies. There wasn't any hardsell and the conversation was mainly consultative and I appreciate that.
