The Ability to Rethink & Reassess Our Minds

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Confirmation Bias And the Power of Disconfirming Evidence

An articulate piece that describes how confirmation bias works in various contexts and the power of disconfirming evidence.

Investing and the Danger of Confirmation Bias

Sound advice on how we should be aware of the dangers of confirmation bias in finances and how we can approach investing responsibly.

In the training conducted by Joan, she was effective, helpful & generous in sharing ideas that I found practical and useful. The HQ system is one system to check out as it is interesting and relevant, and I think anyone in the sales industry can benefit greatly!

Desmond Fu. Financial Consultant

I had an interesting session with Joan on HQ and how it can be of use in our advisory process. It was a fruitful time. You should take time to hear her out for her input. Highly recommended! It’s awesome!

Joycelyn Phang. MDRT Qualifier 2021. Prudential Singapore

HQ is a great platform / channel for publicity, especially for people like us who need to run their own business. I love the function that it can customize our own birthday cards and make our clients feel privileged as it's something personalised. On top of that, working with Joan is amazing because she is friendly, helpful and dedicated lady. She is always able to assist me on technical works as I’m not good at IT stuffs. Honestly speaking, I can’t live without HQ now, thank you Joan & HQ. I would highly recommend this platform for everyone, 10/10 must try!💯
