"Coaching can make a person more empowered and aware and develop a higher understanding to his goals," he remarked.
With regard to cooperation in the field of education, in this case the FTI-UMI, Psychologist Fauziah Sulfitri stated that the ICF welcomes this method, as it is important for the lecturers.
Currently, lecturers have to teach different generations that cannot be directed and commanded.
"This training will help students to become more independent and empower them to achieve their academic goals," she revealed.
Sabhara added that it is difficult to understand students today, as they belong to the millennial generation, which is unique.
The training method will help lecturers to develop a deeper understanding of the students` dynamics and thinking and to also empower them without giving instructions.
