The way we Think

Joan Tong

In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In this issue, I'd like to do something different. All of the highlights are very interesting videos from TED talks about the way we think. The videos are between 15 to 30 minutes, but they are well worth your time I promise. Hope these resources will help create marginal changes in your life every so often. Let's be enlightened together!

The Puzzle of Motivation

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

Why incompetent people think they're amazing - David Dunning

How good are you with money? What about reading people’s emotions? How healthy are you, compared to other people you know? Knowing how our skills stack up against others is useful in many ways.

Bernard Pang. Apex. NTUC Income

Joan came over to our office to help us get started on using their Sales OS. She is passionate about her area of work and in helping us, and I thought it was very useful and engaging. I think you will enjoy getting to know her too! Thank you Joan!

Joan Tong. Headquarter

It is an honour for myself & Headquarter to be part of the Media/Crowdfunding team for the once-in-a-lifetime GoSpace project. On 31 May 2019, Mr Lim Seng attempted Singapore's maiden journey into space from Alice Springs, Australia. Though the mission had to be aborted prematurely due to depressurization, the Space team was successful in the attempt and managed to attain over 24,000 ft above sea level after 19 minutes of steady ascent. It has been a long time coming and the journey continues. The Space team is not giving up. And so are we. In the photo is Mr Lim Seng, the head & heart behind this treacherous-yet-remarkable mission. Keep your eyes peeled as he sends the first Singaporean to the edge of space!

Clara & Patrick. AIA-SP Victor Lim

Patrick and I met Joan up for a refresher training session on how to use HQ for our business and workflow. We found it very useful. And I think that you'd find it valuable and interesting getting to know Joan.

Peter Lim. DPG Group

Joan came down today to share with us how HQ can be used to or advantage in our advisory system. I think it’s worth for you to explore and get to know her.

Zhongyong. Great Eastern Life

Today I met up with Joan regarding how HQ could enhance our advisory system and make it more robust. I picked up a few interesting ideas from her, and I think you’d learn a thing or two too when you meet her up.

Jimmy Tan. AIA Singapore

I met up with Joan today to review our progress on how we can further enhance our business using the Headquarter platform. Found it refreshing and helpful. We have benefitted from the session. Get to know her soon!
