Requirements to Become a Coach
Robby Djohan, whose actions as business leaders deserve to be noted with gold ink. From his patience as a coach, several financial experts were born in Indonesia, for example Agus Martowardoyo, Peter Stock and Arwin Rasyid.
Even a property magnate from Indonesia whose property business is soaring in Australia, Iwan Sunito admits, Robby Djohan is his coach.
“When I was at a crossroads to start a business, I always went to Pak Robby. I got various kinds of knowledge from him, especially the knowledge of managing humans.
He ordered me to study Blue Ocean Strategy so that my business is different from competitors,” said Iwan Sunito as taken from his autobiography, Without Borders.
The success of Robby Djohan and several other leaders as coaches in improving the coaches is due to implementing the five concepts called “TRUST.”
The first concept T is short for “put”. This means that when the leader plays the role of a coach, put the leadership status on the status of subordinates. That’s called empathy.
The understanding of coaching itself is to help and encourage subordinates to be more skilled, painstaking, efficient and effective at work.
Coaches help subordinates realize invisible strengths (talents, character) into visible in the form of attitudes, skills and performance.
To change the power to be real, the coach’s empathy is the basis for collaborating with his subordinates. The coach feels and adjusts to what his subordinates feel and feel.
Interested as the 2nd concept and stands for R. If the subordinates have self-esteem and hope. Eng Hian between Greysia and Apriyani won the Tokyo Olympics gold medal.

3rd pillar, letter U, summary of “reveal.” The coaching process exists for two reasons: (1) anticipating facing the future, (2) filling the gap (distance) of required skills with the skills of subordinates.
To fill the gap in skills, the coach must express the problems encountered by his subordinates. For example, in the first half of the target that has been set, it seems that the subordinates can only achieve 75%.
To cover 25 percent of the targets that have not been realized while at the same time meet 100% of the targets for the following semester, therefore subordinates need to sharpen their skills or learn new skills. Expressing what evidence exists provides a clear benchmark for subordinates to act and take action. 4th Pillar, the way out.
As an extension of the letter S. Coaching is different from discussion. In the discussion process, the counselor will give him ideas, tools and tactics and the subordinates just do what the counselor formulated.
Relationship like a doctor with a patient. The coaching process is to turn strengths into real ones. Concentrate on skills that can be explored and improved.
Trainers are innovative partners for subordinates. Therefore, the solution to the problems encountered by the subordinates is formulated by the subordinates themselves. The role of the trainer is more of an accompaniment, partner and motivator. The letter T as the 5th pillar as a summary of get.
The responsibility of the leader is to find the best strengths from subordinates and together realize the skills and abilities of subordinates. Eng Hian’s accuracy makes up for Greysia’s shortcomings and showing his strength is a service move.
For doubles games, service is usually carried out with a backhand. This is a drawback of Greysia. With Eng Hian’s polish, Greysia replaced the service with a forehand.
