Sharon Siah. Financial Consultant I am honoured and privilege to have Samantha as my manager. I say this from the bottom of my heart.
I met Samantha 5 years ago when I was still a student in ITE and was having my internship with the agency. Back then, she was my in-charged manager and I was helping her with some admin duties. My internship was a pleasant one with her as she taught me a lot of skills set which is useful for my future endeavours and I also slowly gain the exposure and knowledge into what a financial advisor does which is quite different from what I thought.
I admit that I do have a skeptical mindset towards financial advisor before I started my internship, however she totally changes my perspectives and mindset. While working with her during the internship period, I see her dedication and passion towards her job which makes me realise how she really makes a difference in many lives emotionally and financially. I was very inspired by her and at that point in time it occurs in my mind that I wanted to be just like her.
Apart from being my manager, she is also like a friend to me. She would offered a listening ear and also share her life experiences and advice with me and she never failed to answer any of my questions or doubts be it personal or at work.
After my internship ended and year after year, she would continuously sought updates with me on how I’ve been doing and also sending me encouragement messages upon hearing my tough struggles during my diploma studies period.
I was really touched by her genuine gestures and I told myself that if I ever need a financial advisor it would definitely be her. Therefore, I personally contacted her last year after I graduated from my diploma to have a financial planning session with her but she ended up giving me an opportunity to join her team.
I thought to myself that what a privilege it’d be if I could be mentored by her as back then she was already my inspirational figure. I accepted and joined her team. Today, it has been 1 year under her wing.
She is willing to spare her time to give me personal coaching to nurture me and imparting me with all the right values and patiently guide me through all the advisory skills needed in order for me to serve my clients well.
As a new financial advisor myself, I have numerous down moments but Samantha will always be there to encourage me and also showered me with her kindness. Her belief in me has been unwavering since the start I joined her team.
Being under your wing has been a blessing to my life. Thank you so much for everything, Samantha! |
