Leadership is the act of guiding a team or individual to achieve a goal through direction and motivation -- and there is a leader in all of us.

I met Jaden when I was invited to play for the soccer team he was in. During that time I had little impression of him and went to New Zealand thereafter to pursue my career. I came back to Singapore in year 2018 for a family visit and was looking to sign on for an insurance policy, my brother in law recommended me to Jaden and without hesitation I signed up for the policies he recommended. The reason is because of his transparency in introducing the policies that suit me. I have always assumed that financial consultants are dodgy, hungry for sales and they will do their level best to upsell all the policies they have in hand to make the best profit. To me, Jaden is definitely trust-worthy and I have the highest admiration for him to be able to be able to put his family and friendship first. He changed my perspective and I am grateful to him for his support rendered to me promptly whenever I needed it. | | | Gary From the moment I know Jaden, it was clear that he is not only knowledgeable but also very genuine and sincere in his approach.
Jaden has a unique talent for taking complex financial information and making it not only detailed but also succinct and comprehensible. His presentations have been instrumental in helping me understand my financial situation and make informed decisions with confidence.
One thing that truly sets Jaden apart is his responsiveness and commitment to keeping his clients updated. He ensures that I am always in the loop with the latest updates on policies and developments that may impact my financial portfolio.
Moreover, Jaden's proactive approach to client engagement is commendable. He never fails to invite and include clients in educational and interesting workshops, enriching our knowledge and fostering a sense of community.
In conclusion, working with Jaden has been an absolute pleasure. His professionalism, transparency and dedication to his clients' financial well-being are truly remarkable. | | | Gerald Lim Financial Consultant Assets Prestige Alliance Jaden played an important role in my decision to switch career and join the Insurance industry as a rookie. I was looking to join a reliable agency with a strong support system and he gave me that assurance.
He is a very reliable and experienced leader who truly walks the talk and always makes time when I needed his help. Having been on the ground himself to become who he is today, he gives credible advice and is an inspiration to the team. I feel very fortunate to have him as a mentor and colleague because he is trustworthy, genuine and dedicated. | | | Robin
I have known Jaden for about one year now. About a year back, I was looking to purchase maternity insurance for both my wife and new born daughter. That was when he approached me.
Jaden has a very attentive ear, he listens patiently to our needs before recommending us suitable policies for consideration. His cheerful, upbeat and positive attitude also makes him a very approachable FC. He has never made us feel he was a FC but more of a personal friend.
One of the most memorable actions done by Jaden was when he delivered a set of bubble tea and a welcome baby gift to our home when our daughter was born in her first week. It was a heartwarming gesture and we were very surprised! Jaden truly goes above and beyond his profession capacity as a FC. Furthermore, he has a positive attitude and a hardworking spirit. | | | Gary
I came to know Jaden in late 2020 where I am looking for CI plans for my 3 kids. He had been so patient to explain the details of the policy for me to ensure I understood what the policy coverage is. Constantly, he also never fails to follow up with me with news and any new financial products which might interest me and my family. His friendliness and thoughtfulness are always beyond just a usual financial consultant that I ever met. | | | Nadiah and Irwan I’ve known Jaden for ten years now, since 2011. Back then, I got to know him through a promotional call. My husband and I met him for the first time under our void deck and our first impression of him was that he’s not pushy, he’s approachable and humble. He also made sure he understood our financial needs before suggesting a few plans for us. Throughout these years, we’ve always entrusted our plans with him and even took on new plans.
Even when we recently met him, he’s still that humble Jaden we knew back then, despite him busy leading his own team of financial consultants. This is one of his prominent traits because I’ve seen other consultants who do not get back to us on our queries for our plans.
He always makes time for his clients, be it big or small. He has always been an approachable FC and always patiently explaining our queries. Jaden has been the best FC for my family and I. | | | | |
