| 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. | | Moving from Self Doubt to Self Confidence It would be nice if moving from self doubt to self confidence just came naturally. However, moving from self doubt to self confidence is a practice you can adopt, with practice. When you are able to identify where your insecurities lie and what is stopping you from feeling confident, you can then start the process of moving from self doubt to self confidence. You will be able to work on eliminating the blocks that are keeping you from moving through life with assuredness. Here are some of the culprits for the patterns of self doubt and ideas for what you can do about them. | | Why confidence and knowledge can lead to smart money decisions Two common areas that cause people to procrastinate financially are knowledge and confidence. Logically, we know that financial literacy can boost our confidence to make informed money-management decisions. Yet, many people tell me that they lack the confidence to learn and absorb that financial knowledge, which holds them back. However, everybody is capable of effectively managing their money. While some need mindset adjustments, others need a confidence boost or a little reassurance that they are on the right track. Take small steps, follow and when doubt starts to creep in, remind yourself that money is only a tool and you are learning. | | 9 Habits That Are Destroying Your Confidence  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

She has shown and provided an exceptional service. Always ready, willing to help and answer questions in times of need. I am glad to know her and to have her as our insurance agent. | |  | | Marijohn Sampson There are many insurance and financial consultants out there. So generally speaking, buying an insurance policy these days is not a difficult task. However, I found that having an financial consultant that listens to me, that accurately identifies my needs, that understands me and provides me with the right vehicles to secure my future, is an extremely daunting task.
Fortunately, I found a planner that has all the above traits and is a very hard worker; Lata Shamdasani.
I have recently purchased insurance policies through Lata. She explained to me in detail, the different offers from different perspectives. Very honestly, Lata explained to me what was covered and -more importantly- what was not covered.
I know that Lata has put forth a lot of effort and time to compile a policy that suits my needs. I am
truly grateful for all the help and knowledge Lata has provided and I know that Lata will be a great
help to anyone who wants to secure their future. | |  | | Alicia Ng I recently moved back to Singapore after 9 years and getting insured was a big priority. After dealing with various insurers and independent financial consultants, I was left frustrated and confused, until I met Lata. What struck me the most was her ability to truly listen to my needs, and her passion and determination in helping me find the right solutions. Lata has been professional, punctual, consistent, genuinely warm, caring and empathetic throughout our journey, and we have become friends along the way. She really knows her stuff and I am now happily insured, and feeling much more secure about my future. It is not an understatement to say that Lata has helped me sleep better at night and I highly recommend her and Prudential for all your financial needs. | |  | | Alberto & Clares Arranging for private medical insurance was a priority for me when I relocated to Singapore for my job. Although I, my wife and children have medical coverage thanks to my job, I was keen to ensure we had private coverage in place too.
Lata was good at listening to our concerns and our wishes, and gave us clear, focused advice on what would best suit our needs and situation. She listens intently, has a quick and sharp mind and recommends a good fit in line with needs and concerns, rather than trying to push a product.
We have since turned to her for guidance on other concerns too and are happy to recommend her. | |  | | Neo Sio Cheng I came to know Lata only in May 2020. She took over my policies when my agent left. Lata has great customer service and always expeditiously replies my queries. Somehow, she knows I cannot wait for her replies and will immediately handle my queries even when she is about to go into a meeting in two minutes.
She will forward links to me and assist me in following up. I know I am not her only client but her urgency to respond to me is ridiculously fast.
I and glad Lata won the MDRT award and I believe there will be many more to come.
Cheers Lata and continue to feel the pulse of your clients!
