☕ What’s your go-to coffee or tea order?
A medium decaf with 3 milk and 2 sweeteners.
🤎 At Kelvin Chong Life Insurance Brokers, we believe insurance is a partnership that evolves with your life. What does that mean in the way you work with clients?
It means taking the long-game approach. We don't just focus on where someone is today; we look ahead and consider what life may bring in the years to come. By planning for both today's needs and tomorrow's possibilities, we can build a strategy that evolves alongside our clients.
🛡️ What’s a lesson you’ve learned from working in insurance that’s stayed with you?
No one has a lease on life. Anyone, at any age, can experience a life-changing event that affects their health or insurability. That's why it's so important to put a plan in place while you have the opportunity, rather than waiting until you need it.
💬 When clients call in overwhelmed or unsure, what’s your approach to helping them feel informed and supported?
I start by listening. Once I understand what's worrying them and what they need, we can work together to find the best path forward.
📖 What’s a book, movie, podcast, or quote that’s had an impact on you?
Some say, "Patience is a virtue," but I say, "Time is of the essence." While thoughtful decisions are important, putting off planning can mean missing valuable opportunities.
⚠️ What’s one risk-management concept you think every Canadian should know?
Insurance is, at its core, a risk management tool. It's there to help protect you and your family from the financial impact of death, disability, or critical illness, so life's unexpected moments don't become financial setbacks.
✅ What part of your work gives you the most satisfaction?
Being able to deliver on the financial promise that a client planned for. Knowing that the coverage we put in place is there when it's needed most is incredibly rewarding.
3️⃣️ If you could describe Kelvin Chong Life Insurance Brokers in just three words, what would they be?
Integrity. Service. Knowledge.
🌍 When you’re not working, where can we find you?
Travelling whenever I can – or , if I'm at home, playing the game Last War. I also like to keep active with weight training and practicing yoga.
Amira's experience and thoughtful advice help clients navigate important decisions with greater confidence. Her focus is always on understanding each person's unique situation and helping them prepare for whatever the future may bring, and we’re thankful to have her on the team.
