Changing career might seem daunting, but it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences. Here's the story of Yeoh Cheng Huann, who made the shift from a former naval officer to now a Great Eastern Agent of Life.
What motivated you to make the shift?
“I was getting married and was looking for something that will give me the flexibility of time to be with my family, and the opportunity to continue working with people on a personal level.”
How has your past vocation as a Naval Officer helped you in your current career at Great Eastern?
“Leadership, critical thinking and communications skills. It gave me the ability to connect with people on a personal level, and to address and lead a group of people to achieve an objective.”
Why be an Agent of Life at Great Eastern?
“As an Agent of Life, we get a chance to talk to people about their dreams and concerns – topics that probably don’t come up in a typical conversation. It’s a privilege to be able to cry and laugh with our clients. And at Great Eastern, the leadership, training, communications and network will give you a very good grounding in this career.”
