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.

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.

Aaron Wan

I chose Michael to provide us with Business Consultancy Service as his role is vital to help us identify the incumbent and the need to address issues which may be detrimental to both business and family. Most importantly, not to procrastinate with whatever course of action that was needed to be taken. He listened, compiled our intentions and came up with a proposal stating the facts and legalities as best advice by the lawyers and accountants. In doing so, a non-biased agreement was drawn up to the best interest of all shareholders.

Jason (CEO of Stratgeist)

7 years into running my startup and growing it as quickly as I could into multiple countries, the concept of Business Continuity Planning had never crossed my mind. Until I met Michael Seow and Family , it never occured to me that there were ways for me to bullet-proof my business to survive beyond me. I’m really grateful that they started asking me questions that I had no answers for, but they had clear answer to. With their help, I’ve managed to put in place safeguards and policies that could secure the continuity of a business that I’ve invested so much time, work and effort to build, to ensure it remains resilient to major changes, even at the leadership and keyman level. If you are a business owner, regardless of the size of the business, I would highly recommend that you have a chat with them and unlock possibilities that you probably never knew existed.

Sam Koh, Founder & CEO of HQ

I've known Michael and worked with him for the past 15 years. His passion in learning and his deep knowledge in Estate Planning and Business Continuity Planning has been impressive. He was able to apply these knowledge for clients on the ground, thus making a real difference there. Michael has also been sought after as a trainer in these subjects.

Wee Han, MD Equal Brand

I have known Michael for a few years, probably 10 years or more. He had helped me with some succession planning matters, from a business, as well as personal context. His knowledge and skills in business succession planning/exit strategies, sets him apart from other advisers/consultants. I would highly recommend you meet up with him.
