Professional Speakers Australia - PSA

Conferred by the National Speakers Association, the CSP is the speaking profession’s international measure of professional platform competence by which speakers become a Certified Speaking Professional.

About 12 percent of the 5,000 + speakers worldwide, who belong to the 13 member associations of the Global Speakers Federation, currently hold this professional designation.

The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation is earned through demonstrating competence in professional standards: Platform skills, Business management, Education and Association

Growing up as an introvert and serial bully victim, putting myself out there has certainly not been my thing. 

Yet when I decided to pursue my dream as a professional speaker and coach as an accounting college student, I had to learn how to build online influence well. 

A decade later, I’ve been blessed to serve a Fortune 500 life insurance corporation as their Millennials and Social Media Engagement Consultant. 

Here are some "top-line" achievements: 

🌟 Keynote Speaker for Asia Pacific Life Insurance Congress (APLIC), MDRT Day ID, KL & SG 2019-2022 - teach the very strategies that have grown my global speaking business over the past 12 years - from a $500 paid-up capital by 1,000x (annual rev)

🌟 Strategic Growth Coach to the Top Agency Leaders in SG, MY, ID, HK. Currently the "Outsourced CMO" to a $20+M Agency in Singapore, reigning as the Top Group. 

🌟 Taught >57,000 audiences across 10 countries in Asia and Middle East. As of 2020, I've been accorded the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), an accolade for the top 12% of speakers globally. 

🌟 Featured over 70x on local and regional media (TV, radio, newspaper) like Channel News Asia (CNA), Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), The Huffington Post, and more. 

🌟 Trusted and engaged by global corporations like AIA, Atradius, Coface, DB Schenker, MSC Shipping, Porsche Asia Pacific, Prudential, Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), the Saudi Arabia Kingdom (SAK) government etc.

All without spending on paid advertisement, but by pure organic engagement and attraction.

If you're a top life insurance agency decision-maker, you know it’s harder to attract talents.

The old rules - a numbers game - it was effective, but no longer. ❌

You need to be #𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗳𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱, but maybe are facing these challenges:

😪 Confused by the mixed messages on how to build your online influence well 

😪 Lost and frustrated after months of "posting content" that doesn't move the needle one bit 

😪  Time and resource-poor because you're tied up with strategic growth of your agency

There is a better way and it doesn’t involve you doing more or becoming someone you are not. 

I can help you: 

🚀 BE AWARE - So your personal brand is seen by your ideal talents and have you be in their radars consistently 

🚀 BE ATTRACTIVE - Leverage organic social content to draw talent to you and the right ones!  

🚀 BE AMPLIFIED - Leverage the right audiences to be a prominent choice

🎁 Connect with me and let's discover how we can make you relevant to your talents of today!

When it comes to learning, many corporations just check the boxes blindly. 

This client is different. They made my head turn 🤔


Last Friday, I taught a group of corporate bankers.

It was my usual spiel:

💰 Why posting on LinkedIn can raise your reputation and increase buy-in, internally and externally

💰 What you can do to overcome your fear of attention and inhibitions that hold you back

💰 How you can start building a Content 365 system that allows you to show up...

Authentically and effectively.

But there's always one missing link.


Leadership from inside. 

A lot of times corporate programs are designed and even, delivered with the best of intentions.

But there are so many reasons why learning programs fail:

❌ It's organized poorly with no internal set-up and competing with other business priorities

❌ It's not in sync with the organization, team and leadership's goals and desired outcomes

❌ The leaders think it's a "good program to run" but they don't show up or champion it.

Good monies spent. But little to no results or follow-through.  😔


Last Friday, I was inspired.

Together with Paul Kan 简毅辉 , Country Head, Business Banking Singapore at UOB Singapore and his learning leads, Adrian Yan and Michelle Liang, we conducted a 1-day program for their front and middle office A-teams.

I shared with their leaders to build your personal brand and be #topofmind in their industry. 🏆

At the end of the program, I was surprised.

Paul stood forward and rallied everyone with his intention behind building activity on LinkedIn. 

He got everyone to do the fundamentals of adding each other on the platform to even, setting the goal of their first post (some of them, 1st post in years!!) on LinkedIn. 

Over the weekend, we saw over a dozen posts coming through - some getting over 10-25x engagement increase and conversations! 🎁

The energy was just palpable and inspiring. 


If there's anything to learn from Paul and his team, it's championing and leadership.

We want our people to learn and apply what we've learnt. We got to drive these agendas like they truly matter.

Not lip service or "you do, I'll just watch you".

Don't you agree?

Dear 8-year-old Ben 👋🏻

You may not believe it. But I like you to know:


Life is still quite a popularity game. 
You don't do quite well at it. 
And that's perfectly okay.

Your mind and life decisions are often questionable.
People around you may not always support you.
And that's perfectly okay.

The path throws you curved balls and bouts of pain and hurt.
There are moments you lose faith in people and yourself.
And that's perfectly okay. 


The 8-year-old Ben asks,
"How can all these be okay, Ben? Stop your toxic positivity!"
(Okay, this term hasn't been picked up yet) 


Well, the 38-year-old Ben can tell you with assurance.

🍀 You are still not popular or widely known. 

But you've become relevantly celebrated for your deep value and expertise. You are paid to teach in over 20 global cities by dream corporation client and some truly successful individuals.

Through your work, they have found their voices and make their impact felt and realized. 

🍀 You haven't gotten it all right. 

But in Chinese wisdom, they'd say (三十而立，四十而不惑 - you find your footing in your 30s and live without doubt in your 40s). 

Most importantly, you still remain in search of what matters to you.

🍀 You haven't sold your company with a 8/9-figures pay-day with a Pina-colada in your hand. 

But you've brought a 4+ year old toddler into this world with your wife and, sold him the belief that life has meaning and worth. 

While you're at that, you're learning to nurture and heal your inner child too.

Keep growing, I'll see you on the other side!

#weekends #life #reflections

Who said you need to have it all figured out by 30, 40, or even 50?

Seriously, who made the rules?


It’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind.

You scroll through LinkedIn, and it seems like everyone is crushing it.

Fancy titles, dream jobs, and picture-perfect lives.

And then there’s you... still figuring things out.

Here’s something I’ve learned:

👉 Life isn’t a race. 
💡 It’s a journey, and everyone’s path looks different.

Take Colonel Sanders, for example.
At 30, he was fired from multiple jobs and failed at several businesses.
At 40, he was running a gas station and selling chicken on the side.
At 65, with just $105 in his pocket, he started franchising Kentucky Fried Chicken.
By 75, KFC was a global empire.

Or Oprah Winfrey.
At 23, she was removed from her news reporter job for being "too emotional" for hard news.
At 29, she became the host of a local talk show, immediately making it a local hit.
At 32, she had launched The Oprah Winfrey Show,
By 40: she was one of the most influential and successful media personalities in the world.

And let’s not forget J.K. Rowling.
At 30, she was a single mother living on welfare, struggling to make ends meet.
At 31, she finished writing Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
At 32, she faced rejection from 12 publishers before Bloomsbury finally accepted her manuscript.
By 35, she had become one of the most successful authors in the world.

These stories aren’t exceptions.

They’re proof that success doesn’t follow a universal timeline.

Reminders that your timeline is yours alone.

So, if you’re feeling “behind,” here’s what I want you to remember:
✅ Stop comparing your Chapter 3 to someone else’s Chapter 20.

You don’t know the struggles they faced to get there.

✅ Focus on progress, not perfection. 

Small, consistent steps compound into big wins over time.

✅ Celebrate your own milestones. 

Whether it’s learning a new skill, overcoming a fear, or simply showing up.
Every step forward matters.

You’re not late.
You’re not failing.
You’re simply on your own timeline.

And that’s exactly where you’re meant to be.

If you're introverted, this is for you.

Your quiet nature isn’t a weakness, 

it’s your superpower.

For years, I thought I needed to be louder to succeed. 

→ Speak up more. 
→ Act more extroverted. 
→ Be someone I wasn’t.

But here’s what I’ve learned: 
→ People don’t buy into loudness.
→ They buy into authenticity.

Your quiet nature? 
→ That’s your strength.

The world remembers you for being real, 
not for being loud.

Your personality is your superpower.

The more you lean into it, the harder you are to replace.

When I first started, I thought success was about blending in.

→ Offering the best services
→ Following the trends
→ and sounding “professional.” 

But here’s what I learned: 
→ People don’t connect with perfection. 
→ They connect with authenticity.

Your quirks? 
→ They’re not weaknesses, they’re what make you memorable. 

Your story? 
→ It’s the reason people will trust you. 

Your perspective? 
→ That’s your competitive edge.

In a crowded market, the easiest way to stand out is to stop trying to fit in. 

The more of you that you bring to the table, the harder you are to replace.

So, here’s your reminder: 
Don’t water yourself down. Or be a moniker. 
Show up as the real, unfiltered YOU. 

That’s what people are waiting for.

👉 What’s one thing that makes you, you?

Have you ever felt like you’re wearing someone else’s shoes?

Like no matter how hard you try, they just don’t fit?

In the early days of my career, I was obsessed. 

Obsessed with how others spoke, how they dressed, and how they carried themselves. 

I thought, If I could just copy them, I’d be successful too.

I studied everything. 

How they opened their speeches. 
How they moved their hands. 
Even the colors of their suits. 

I was so focused on being like them that I forgot to ask myself: 
"Who am I?"

The truth is, the more I copied, the more I lost myself. 
I wasn’t connecting with people. 
I wasn’t even connecting with myself.

It wasn’t until I stopped and asked, "What’s my truth?" that things started to change. 

For me, my truth was this:

I used to be bullied. 
I was scared to speak up. 

But I found the courage to communicate. 
And now, I help others find their voice too.

When I started showing up as myself, everything shifted. 

People didn’t connect with me because I was perfect. 
They connected because I was real.

Here’s what I want you to know:
👉 You don’t need to copy anyone to succeed.
👉 Your story, your voice, and your truth are enough.
👉 The moment you embrace who you are, people will notice.

So, let me ask you:
Have you ever felt like you had to be someone else to succeed?

I’d love to hear your story.

The biggest barrier to your success isn't lack of experience ❌

It's lack of permission.

I once coached a banking pro with 24 years of experience. 
✔️ Smart guy 
✔️ Tons of knowledge.

But when we talked about sharing content, he froze.
"Do you think I'm qualified to share this?"

This hit me hard.

The most experienced people doubt themselves the most. 

They think everyone knows what they know.

But here's what I see:
→ Your "basic" knowledge is someone's breakthrough. 
→ Your everyday experience is their missing piece. 
→ Your 5 years is someone else's goal.

The problem isn't your expertise.
💡 It's giving yourself permission to share it.

How many years of experience do you have in your field?

For 10 years, I was a victim of bullying at my boys' school. 

It crushed me, but it also taught me something that changed my life forever.

👉🏻 I feel safest when I have control over my environment.

Today, I lead a team of 7-8 incredible individuals across Indonesia and the Philippines. 

Building this team has given me the autonomy and sense of safety I once craved.

And it’s allowed me to thrive in ways I never thought possible.

Here’s the biggest takeaway from my journey:
💡 Our deepest wounds can become our greatest teachers.

I used to think leadership was about teaching skills.

Until I realized, I had it all wrong.

I thought I was helping people by showing them HOW.
→ How to close a deal.
→ How to follow a process.
→ How to use the latest tools.

For years, I believed mastering these was enough.

But over time, I’ve learned something important.
💡 Skills alone don’t move the needle.

I’ve worked with many financial advisors and leaders across Asia.

And the pattern is always the same.
→ The ones who thrive aren’t just the most skilled.
→ They’re the ones who believe they can succeed.

And here’s the thing: 
💡 Belief doesn’t come naturally for most people.

I remember coaching a team leader who was struggling.

She had all the technical knowledge and strategies.
→ But her team wasn’t performing.

When we dug deeper, the issue became clear.
→ Her agents didn’t believe they could achieve their goals.

So, we shifted the focus.

Instead of just training them on strategies, she DID more.

→ She showed them what they were capable of.
→ She celebrated their small wins.
→ She reminded them of their strengths.
→ She made them feel seen.

And the results?

Her team didn’t just hit their targets,
✨ They exceeded them ✨

That’s the power of belief ✨

When people believe in themselves:
→ They take ownership.
→ They push past fear.
→ They stop seeing limits and start seeing possibilities.

As leaders, it’s easy to focus on the what and the how.

💡 But don’t forget the WHY.
→ Why should your team believe in themselves?
→ Why should they believe in you?

Because at the end of the day, skills get the job done.

But belief?
→ Belief turns potential into performance.

Most people think they need better content strategies.

But I've coached hundreds of leaders. Here's what people often missed 👇🏻

→ The real block isn't technical.

→ It's your relationship with attention.

In Asia, we're taught "don't stand out" from young. 

In Japan, they say 
"the nail that sticks up gets hammered down."

So when it's time to build your brand, you freeze.

Not because you don't know what to post.

Because deep down, you're scared of being seen.

You think: 
"What will people say?" 
"I don't want to seem arrogant." 
"Someone will judge me."

Here's the truth:
💡 Personal branding is 20% strategy, 80% mindset.

Until you fix your relationship with attention, 
no amount of tips will help.

What's your biggest fear about putting yourself out there?

You already have the answers to your success.

But you're just too scared to ask for them.

Every time I close a deal, I ask two questions: 
✨ "How did you find me?" 
and
✨ "Why did you choose me over others?"

Most people skip the second question.

👉🏻 They're terrified of the answer.

But here's what I learned:
✔️ Your clients chose you for a reason. 
✔️ They saw something that made you stand out. 
✔️ They have the blueprint to your success.

And you're ignoring it.

The feedback you avoid is the strategy you need.
The answers you fear hold your next breakthrough.

The clients who picked you know exactly why you win.

Stop being scared of your own success.

Have you ever asked a client why they chose you?

Success comes with a price. 

The question is, are you PAYING attention to it?

Years ago, I was chasing success with everything I had. 

I worked long hours, 
said yes to every opportunity, 
and pushed myself to the limit. 

On the outside, it looked like I was thriving. 

But on the inside? 

I was exhausted.

I told myself this was the price of success. 

Sleepless nights, constant pressure, and sacrifices were all part of it. 

But one day, I hit a wall.

I remember sitting in my office, staring at my laptop, completely drained. 

I had achieved so much, but I felt empty. 

I realized I was chasing a version of success that wasn’t even mine. 

I was so focused on proving myself to others that I forgot to ask: 
"What does success mean to me?"

Here’s what I’ve learned about the emotional cost of success:
1️⃣ Success without alignment feels hollow.
→ If your goals don’t match your values, it won’t feel fulfilling.
→ I had to redefine success for myself. It’s no longer about external validation. 
→ It’s about creating impact and staying true to who I am.

2️⃣ Rejection and failure are part of the process.
→ I’ve been told “no” more times than I can count. 
→ But every “no” taught me something valuable.
→ Every failure shaped me into who I am today.

3️⃣ You can’t pour from an empty cup.
→ Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. 
→ It’s a warning sign. I learned (the hard way) that taking care of myself isn’t selfish. 
→ It’s necessary to keep going.

Today, my definition of success looks very different. 

It’s about balance.
It’s about fulfillment.
It’s about showing up for the people and things that matter most.

So, let me ask you:
👉 Are you chasing a version of success that’s truly yours?
👉 Or are you paying a price you’ll regret later?

"𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣?"

I asked the leaders of Asia's safest bank last week during a personal branding program I taught. 

One of them asked,

"Ben, I am quite introverted. Will this be too "loud" for me to share online?"

I also shared this during an interview with the The Straits Times 

We are telling ourselves stories all the time.

And we end up creating the lives we believe we are deserving of.

What do I mean?

Here's my life stories in snippets:

🤦🏻‍♂️ Got bullied in boys' school for a good decade
🤦🏻‍♂️ Social awkward and never played well in groups
🤦🏻‍♂️ Did well to study Accountancy at Singapore Management University but graduated with a sub-3 GPA
🤦🏻‍♂️ Had an offer to a Big-4 firm but turned it down to do sales
🤦🏻‍♂️ Made 5-figure months as a young graduate and quit prematurely
🤦🏻‍♂️ Zero corporate working experience 

Over the years, I realize there are useful and disempowering beliefs.

For example, many people think introverts are innately "disadvantaged".
⌙ we are quieter, "shy-er", "not loud enough", "not the life of parties".

They then, put themselves in a "prison" and limit what they can do. And who they can be. 

But I choose to embrace useful beliefs.

As an introvert, I'm able to:
🎁 Be more introspective and reflective than the normal
🎁 Learn to observe and engage meaningfully
🎁 Read the room and know how to be more efficient
🎁 Tell my stories well online and offline
🎁 Create curiosity about my work by talking less and when it matters
🎁 Analyze and go deeper in my value delivery (instead of being a superficial entertainer)

With these "superpowers", I've built a brand that sold me upwards of $4M SGD in corporate services and taught over 65,000 leaders in 20+ cities (like Chicago, Sydney, Tokyo, Riyadh and more) and helped build many successful icons in the financial services industry (TOT, Award Winners, Multi Million Dollar Agency Leaders and more). Be on media over 90x, published a book etc.

You can do whatever you want if you choose possibilities and useful belief.

But you'll end up living a much more constricted life if you put yourself in a prison with disempowering beliefs.

The choice is always in your hands.

Speaks to you?

#𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 #𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁 #entrepreneurship

My answer to this million dollar question -

"How do I stay consistent on social media?"


When your work (or even, survival) thrives on you being on.

And being effective at that.

After coaching over 65,000 leaders in 20+ cities globally in communications and brand building, I can tell you for a certainty:

Most leaders and learners don't stay consistent at social media to reap the value that it can offer.
(Well, even some coaches and trainers too)


Yes, life gets in the way.

And you should be present with your loved ones in certain seasons of your life.

But what builds conviction behind social media activity?


It is when these factors occur:

✅ An overwhelming belief that social media can drive the success of your work
✅ Systems and processes that enable you to stay in "creation mode"
✅ It's already a part of your identity to create and share
✅ You're in an environment that supports and celebrates you doing so

For me, it was a simple (and ugly) Youtube video that landed a corporate client for me.
(I knew, because I asked them how they discovered me) 

The billings over the past years from this one client alone?

>$900+k SGD.

And I know that if I'm efficient and effective at social, business will come. 


What about you?

What keeps you active and thriving on LinkedIn or social media?

Do comments like this, hurt you?


A Japanese expat in Singapore posted on Tiktok:

"Things nobody tells you about living in Singapore." 
⌙ Singapore is "less of a country to play in and more of a country to make money in"
⌙ Many foreigners end up leaving Singapore after a few years because they find it boring

This reminded me when I was working in Tokyo. 

While it was fun to check out the Shibuya crossing or binge on Famichiki and 7-11 Tamago sandos, the reality was:
⌙ Squeezing in their morning subway trains like a salaryman
⌙ Observing how the locals seem to look frenetic, stressed and tired
And the after-work drinking parties (nomikai - 飲み会) with interesting sights on the streets.

My local Japanese friends shared similar sentiments:

"We have to make a living in Tokyo so things are like that. We've no choice." 
(with a heavy shrug)


So what's the point here?

There's always a lived reality that can only be learnt as a true inhabitant of the city.

My quick thoughts are:

#1/ You're not wrong. Singapore is engineered for socio-economic opportunities and mobility. 

I'd be worried (as a local) when our city becomes no longer viable. And it means I've to uproot myself or my family to seek growth elsewhere.

#2/ Boring and sterile? Yeah, maybe.

Clarke Quay used to be thing when I was growing up. But now I know night life in Singapore is muted. I guess it depends on your willingness to seek out activities? I've been seeing numerous ads on founders run clubs, Hyrox 🤣, tea parties and more. 

#3/ Learn to step out and mingle 

There are many locals who are Japanese enthusiasts. Maybe take the effort to also reach out and make new friends, both expats and locals. 

The beauty is that our openness also allows for a melting pot of global cultures and people. I was treated to a delightful Idiyappam and dhal by a Sri Lankan friend recently.

-- 

I won't sugar-coat things to suggest Singapore is vibrant or diverse as in Central Asia, China, the States or Europe.

But I'd highly recommend you to seek out fun and new experiences.

Or book a ticket out to greater Southeast Asia!

We always have choices and those are blessings in itself, already.  💙

"𝗕𝗲𝗻, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁?"

My Gen-Z mentee asked me.


Well, as a business owner myself, I say it can be a difficult conversation.

But it doesn't have to be. 

This happened 2 years ago where my mentee felt that she has outgrown her role and environment. 

😔 There was little support or engagement from her direct line manager
😔 The work has become routine and monotonous 
😔 Her colleagues were also much more senior than her and were running in silos

So when she had an offer, she knew she had to make a jump.


But we realized her industry was a small one and it's wise not to burn bridges, isn't it? Also, her boss was mostly supportive (and had challenges beyond him). 

So this was the 'quitting framework' I shared that she used to good effect. 

The result?

Her boss is still in great relationship with her and has even recommended opportunities even after my mentee left.


Perhaps more so for the Gen-Zs who are quiet or rage quitting...

Quitting well is respectful and maturity on your part. 

Why burn the bridges when you can still maintain goodwill?

𝙏𝙮𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙀𝙊 𝙤𝙧 "𝙗𝙤𝙨𝙨" 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 (𝘼𝙨𝙞𝙖): 😶👨🏻

"Don't you DARE put me on social media" 


Meet Adam Mosseri (Head / CEO of Instagram)👇🏻

It's not an open secret. 🤫

Business-to-consumer (B2C) businesses and leaders often have it rougher.

Their customers get irate and air their frustrations out loud. 🤬🤬

They get personal and conversations are ugly and triggering.

So it's no wonder most leaders tend to stay off social media.


But Adam has been a 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵 in communications. 🎁

Having been on Instagram for the past years, I've seen how Adam has been showing up consistently on platform doing Q&As over the past years.

Every time there are major changes to the platform, he's prompt to also dive into the problem(s), repercussions, solutions and next steps.

Here's one where he's addressing a remark from an Instagram user. 


Here's what business leaders can learn from Adam:

#1/ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 >>> 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱

Far too many CEOs hide behind perfectly-varnished scripts and conversations. So much so it sounds scripted (duh), orchestrated and detached from reality.

Of course, there are risks and downsides. But those can be learned!

#2/ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰.

OG instagram users would yearn for the platform to be like it was back then - simple photo feed, healthy engagement driven by social graphs.

But these days, the playbook and algorithm has evolved to ensure it remains competitive.

And Adam was just firm and cool, about it.

#3/ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁" 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 "𝘄𝗵𝘆" 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

Your customers may not always "agree" with your business stances and decisions. 

But Adam often makes it a point to share the rationale and consequences of certain evolutions to the platform.

Even towards customer with frustration and demands, he also responds with tact, firmness and kindness. 

#4/ 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦 - 𝗕𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁 

Adam recognizes that his and his management team may not always get it right. 

Instead of adopting a "holier-than-thou" stance or worse, "if you don't like this, many others do!"

Customers and companies share a symbiotic relationship. And the downfall of companies and management is when they stop listening.

And be all arrogant and heavy-handed.

--

Adam teaches modern day CEOs and leaders that it's important to have a human voice and face in front of the corporation.

It nurtures confidence, trust and connection.

All of these are often sorely lacking in businesses. 

Don't you agree?

#topofmind #communications

Many people speak or post about HNW sales content. 

But only a handful like Sujano Supianto can explain it with clarity and depth of experience and success. 💯💯

Top High Net Worth Producer, AIA Singapore 2024–2025 (No. 1 out of 5,800) | Companywide 1st Runner-Up HNW Director 2025

💵 47 billionaires moved to Singapore in 2024. 💵 
If you’re in sales, what does it mean for you?


In the latest wave of ultra-wealthy relocation, one place stands out: Singapore.

💡 According to UBS, Singapore is among the top destinations for billionaires and HNW families.
💡 In 2023, Singapore counted ≈ 333,204 millionaires, with combined wealth of ~US$1.2 trillion. 
💡 The number of single-family offices in Singapore has surged, exceeding 2,000 by end-2024, up ~43% year-on-year. 

What’s driving this trend?
✅ Political and economic stability in Singapore.
✅  Strong legal & regulatory infrastructure, deep wealth-management ecosystem.
✅ Proximity to Asia’s growth-markets while providing western-style governance.
✅ The desire of ultra-wealthy families to ensure mobility, optionality, generational readiness.

What this means for HNW families and family offices:
This isn’t just about selecting a “nice country for tax”. 

It’s about designing your base to support business, assets, family legacy and mobility.

If you’re considering domicile strategy, ask:
1️⃣  How mobile is our family/business globally?
2️⃣  Which jurisdictions offer the mix of lifestyle + governance + infrastructure we need?
3️⃣  Over 10-15 years, how future-proof is the base we pick?

📈 Real Case:
A few years ago, I referred one of my offshore clients to a trusted partner to help set up a family office based in Singapore.

Through proper structuring, he obtained an Employment Pass (EP), and later successfully became a Singapore Permanent Resident (PR).

He subsequently moved a significant portion of his assets to Singapore and qualified as a Singapore tax resident under CRS.

In the process, he saw the long-term benefits of consolidating wealth in Singapore and entrusted me to implement his protection and accumulation strategy.

He eventually purchased:
💰 1 large Index Universal Life (IUL) policy
💰 4 savings & investment plans
💰 3 income plans for his children

In total, this amounted to over SGD 3 million in annual premiums. All built on trust, structure, and education.

Singapore is not a silver-bullet, but if your family office or private-wealth structure plans to pivot or expand in Asia, it deserves to be in the conversation.

If you work with HNW clients or family offices, what factors do you think matter most when choosing a base: tax, lifestyle, or governance?

💬Let’s spark the conversation. 

It’s exciting to see how our industry is evolving, and I’m grateful to be learning from visionary leaders like AIA Singapore CEO Sze Keed Wong, CDO Alvin Fu, CIO Chunyen Liu, 劉俊言 CFA MBA  who continue to push wealth management in Singapore forward.

Sharing good content and people and also, I see Ratna Juita in Bosnia now!

Trained 56,289 people how to use LinkedIn for business

Mega news! I'm hosting my 3rd global meetup! 

But I'm doing something for the 1st time:

I am opening it up to the public. For free!

Context?

1. Every quarter, I reward 1 member of my Link Up community with a fully-paid trip to Bosnia.

2. Every time, other members want to arrive on their own, so I organize an in-person meetup for us. We hang out, have dinners, lunches, go on road trips...

3. This time, we have members from 19 countries! USA, UK, Pakistan, all the way to Cameroon. Wow!

So why is this news? (for you)

Because this is a super-private "thing". 

Members-only. But I'll admit 20 more people.

Anyone who is in Bosnia this weekend can attend. Anyone who isn't, I'm officially inviting you.

If you're in, email me at: admin@linkupbyjasmin.com

(Details will only be shared privately)

And while I'm in a good mood...

1 reposter will get my 1-year membership! Cheers! ♻️

P.S. Ever been to Bosnia? If not, what's 1 thing you know about my country? ❤️

So many say "LinkedIn is cringe" 🤮

In a heartbeat, I'll agree.. 


𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘺. 

You don't:
⌙ Nurture your network to create an "online space of goodness and value" 
⌙ Curate your personal feed for relevant content that inspires and educates you 
⌙ Leverage social media to share 'media' that expresses you AND 'socialize' with good people

And then you wonder why you only see the lame and cringe and memes (okay, some are good tbh) 🤔


Most so, LinkedIn for me has been a groundswell of kindness and empowerment. 🎁

Over a decade back, I ran my first learning event to empower young graduates and business owners on the power of LinkedIn. 

Atul Harkisanka said "yes" to me in a heartbeat and we ran a full-house event.

When I wanted to host Julius Bieliauskas and Ratna Juita for a sold-out LinkedIn charity learning event last April (2024), my dear friend of close to 2 decades - Lena Chang agreed to me in an instant.

2 weeks back, I hosted a group of leaders I'm coaching at AIA Singapore on brand building for a Learning Day at LinkedIn Singapore office itself, Lena helped me again.

And she even toured my leaders around the beautiful Singapore office with an exclusive office experience, while nursing a bad throat. 

We also had Angeline Tang (a crowd favorite!) share powerful insights on social selling and the LinkedIn Sales Navigator tool.

Every leader who attended our event walked away with a refreshed perspective for what LinkedIn can do for their businesses. 


So you know what makes a company?

Her people.

And in my interactions with Atul, Lena and Angeline... they aren't just amazing at their professional work.

They live, breathe and exemplify LinkedIn and their mission: 

'𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥'𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭.'

With the platform, they've opened up a world of learning and growth for me as a global speaker. 


So yes, LinkedIn, you are 𝘯𝘰𝘵 cringe.

The only people who say so, are those who are too closed-minded to ever open themselves up to the power of connections and conversations. (sorry, not sorry) 🙌🏻

Whose kindness have you been moved by through the LinkedIn platform too?

I'd love to know!

‘Success stories’ are stale. 

I’m interested to learn about people’s journey through the hardship - 

Beyond the titles, ranks and achievements that we all know and love.

This project is inspired by the stories of resilience from leaders, business owners and professionals that I’ve met.

It will be on Instagram LIVE and I will be featuring people who inspire me so that more people can benefit from the struggles that they relate with.

What were the “Openings” that led to their breakthroughs?

Sout Ilaahi Group Pte Ltd

I have been adopting Agile principles and Scrum methodologies in the volunteer work that we do. We followed the principles in the Agile Manifesto.

1. Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools.

2. Working software over comprehensive documentation.

3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.

4. Responding to change over following a plan.

I employed the following practices of Agile in the team.

1. Incremental delivery of our programmes like the inaugural Sout Ilaahi Muslims Arts and Film Festival in 2020.

2. Timeboxing our discussions and meetings.

3. Servant Leadership principles of asking questions to volunteers and helping them find answers on their own.

4. Conflict resolution techniques within teams and strategic thinking to deliver value faster to our stakeholders. e.g. mosques, mental health organisations, artists and businesses.

5. Conducting planning, reviews and retrospectives with the team while organising our programmes.

Volunteer Agile Coach

I volunteer in this organization and help to organize conferences and classes with local and international scholars.

I learnt that social issues and human behaviour are not straightforward and require rich experiences dealing with complex issues in order to understand them.

Through agility, we produce content by favouring 'working software over comprehensive documentation. We create working examples in our work with designers, writers, zoom team members and video editors to organise events that benefit the community.

Being a timeline manager for “The Sacred Path of Love Conference” in 2014 enabled me to strengthen my time management skills.

The volunteer manager role for “The Sacred Path of Love Conference” in 2015 and 2016 made me realise the importance of befriending people in order to truly understand their deepest motivations.

Our programs in raising awareness about social issues like depression, anxiety, abuse and mental disorders through the VoiceOut Campaign 2017 enabled me to have a deeper sense of empathy and sensitivity in dealing with human behaviour.

Organizing “The Sacred Path of Love Conference” that annually garners about 200 people each year since 2014 helped me to adapt to new challenges that arise.

Conducting Facebook & Instagram LIVE interviews with local and overseas scholars, professionals, musicians, artists, authors, physiotherapists, psychologists and community leaders exposed me to a rich database of human networks and potential.

Scholars that attend the annual conference include:
 Shaykh Mahy Cisse (Senegal)
 Shaykh Muhammad Ninowy (South Africa)
 Shaykh Muhammad Mendes (USA)
 Dr Omar Mahmood (Qatar)
 Shaykh Abdul Aziz Fredericks (Scotland)
 Imam Abdoulaye Ndaw (USA)
 Dr Umar Faruq Abdullah (USA)
 Habib Hassan al-Attas (Singapore)
 Shaykh Muhammad Aslam (UK)
