Kebanggaan Shinta Puspitasari

Kebanggaan Shinta Puspitasari
Bekerja sebagai karyawan pada perusahaan asing dengan gaji relatif besar pula rupanya tak membuat Shinta Puspitasari Koesmedi merasa nyaman. Ketika sebuah televisi swasta baru membuka lowongan untuk posisi reporter dan presenter, Shinta pun mencoba. Bagi lulusan Fakultas Komunikasi sebuah perguruan tinggi swasta di Jakarta ini, ada tantangan tersendiri untuk mencoba lowongan pekerjaan yang sesuai dengan jalur pendidikannya. Ketika akhirnya dia diterima, tanpa ragu Shinta meninggalkan pekerjaan lamanya. Sejak Juli 2001, dia mulai menggeluti dunia media.

Kali pertama terjun ke lapangan, Shinta langsung ditugaskan untuk reportase kriminal. Liputan yang dianggapnya cukup berat ketika itu. ''Tapi, aku enjoy aja menjalani karena aku senang dengan ritme kerja sebagai reporter yang harus selalu siap dan cepat dalam memburu berita,'' papar perempuan yang dilahirkan di Jakarta 14 Desember 1976 ini.

Malam itu, sejumlah aparat keamanan mengadakan razia. Mereka menciduk para pekerja seks komersial yang ada di sebuah kawasan. Yang mengejutkan, salah seorang yang turut terciduk adalah Shinta. Usut punya usut, ternyata Shinta ikut terangkut lantaran dia tidak dapat menunjukkan kartu identitas wartawannya. Bukan ketinggalan di rumah, kartu itu ternyata terselip di dalam tas. ''Ya seperti itulah pahit getir, sekaligus lucu dan menyenangkan yang pernah saya alami.''

Ibunda Narendra Wiratama Adindrathanaya Tjahja yang baru berusia 1,5 tahun ini memang memulai kariernya dari bawah. Pengalaman pahit, jam kerja yang tak jelas, serta beban tenggat waktu yang membayangi tak membuatnya menyesal memasuki dunia jurnalistik. Bagi dia, tak sembarangan orang bisa menjalani apa yang ia lakukan dan mendapatkan banyak ilmu dari pekerjaan sebagai jurnalis. ''Asal semua dilakukan dengan enjoy, pasti nggak terasa berat.'' Tahun demi tahun dia lewati dengan menyenangkan. ''Pengalaman di lapangan banyak memberi pelajaran pada saya.''

Setahap demi setahap, kariernya pun menanjak. Kini, Shinta menjadi produser dan seorang news anchor TV One setelah tujuh tahun malang melintang di dunia jurnalistik televisi. Saat ini dia mendapat kepercayaan untuk menjadi news anchor sekaligus produser acara Kabar Petang TV One. Meski berbekal pengalaman di lapangan, Shinta tetap merasa ada beban tanggung jawab yang lebih besar ketika menjadi news anchor. ''Karena saya harus memahami setiap isu yang saya bawakan dan tak boleh salah dalam menginformasikan kepada masyarakat. Kalau salah, ini akan berakibat fatal.''

''Apa ada yang kurang dari siaran saya tadi?''
Pertanyaan itu senantiasa dilontarkan Shinta usai siaran. Lantaran menyadari dirinya mungkin masih banyak kekurangan, Shinta mengaku sangat senang bila orang memberi masukan untuknya entah itu pujian, komentar, atau kritik pedas sekalipun.
''Saya justru senang dikritik, apa pun kritikannya, saya terima. Saya tak mau bekerja setengah-setengah, saya ingin menjadi lebih baik dan lebih baik lagi.''

Kritik, untuk dia, adalah salah satu tahapan yang membuatnya bisa menjadi lebih baik. Justru saat semua orang diam, tidak berkomentar, atau melontarkan kritik, Shinta bakal kebingungan. Keseriusannya bekerja juga terdorong keinginan untuk membuat anak semata wayangnya, Rendra, merasa bangga pada sang ibu. ''Biar Rendra, bila dewasa nanti, bisa bangga pada ibunya dengan pekerjaan yang saya pilih.''

Di mata perempuan yang juga berbisnis mengelola event organizer bersama kakak perempuannya itu, sang anak juga harus berkorban dengan menerima konsekuensi atas pekerjaan yang ia pilih. Seperti frekuensi pertemuan ibu-anak yang minim kecuali saat libur saja. ''Saya tak mau pengorbanan Rendra sia-sia. Jadi, saya harus bisa membuatnya merasa bangga memiliki mama dengan pekerjaan seperti saya.''

Wawancara harus segera selesai. Sekitar 15 menit lagi, Shinta harus bersiap membawakan program asuhannya. Sebelum itu, Shinta masih sempat bertutur. Dia punya keinginan kuat untuk melanjutkan kuliahnya ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi. ''Saya ingin meneruskan S2. Biar saya bisa juga menjadi dosen, mengajar mahasiswa. Karena saya juga tak cuma ingin membagi pengalaman kerja saya kepada mereka, tapi juga menguasai ilmunya.'' ***

So What If I Fail?

When surveyed, over 70% of workers like the idea of being their own boss more than working for someone else. So, if this is the case, why do only a small percentage venture out and join the ranks of the self employed? The biggest reason is fear of failure. We ve all heard the statistics of how most businesses fail within their first year. It s reported over and over in the media, so it s no wonder we buy into it.

With all that negative news, it really sounds like the deck is stacked against us right from the start. But are these reports really accurate? The answer is no. The truth is that this statistic actually came about some years ago as a result of a mistake during a speech given by the then-director of the Small Business Administration. The text of his speech stated, Most small businesses that fail, fail in the first year. Instead, he incorrectly read it and said, Most small businesses fail in the first year.

A Dunn & Bradstreet census of 250,000 businesses showed that almost 70% were still around 12 years after their startup. Not only that, but the Census Bureau has found that 57 percent of small businesses that go out of business , are actually successful at the time of their closing. This shows us that there were other reasons than business failure that business owners decided to close the doors.

The truth is yes, some businesses do fail, but let s stop believing this age old urban myth that most of them sink. Are there risks in starting a business? Some, but most entrepreneurs aren t the daring bet the farm risk takers they are made out to be. Most successful business owners know the difference between smart risks and dumb risks. In a past article in Entrepreneur magazine, Geoff Williams suggests the following five steps for taking smart risks in starting a business.

Determine the worst-case consequences of taking the risk. If you aren t able to live with the consequences then it s not a good idea to move forward, until you rethink your plan. Research the risk you re going to take before you make the leap. Smart entrepreneurs do their research, before they jump in. Seek Advice - Talk with people who are in the same business, seek counsel from friends and relatives and consider hiring a consultant. Ask yourself, Will I lie awake at night for the next several years, wishing I had taken the risk? And finally ask your self this question: Is not taking the risk a bigger risk than taking it? If the answer is yes then what in the world are you waiting for? Remember, Success is when preparation meets opportunity.

HOW DOES SPORTS COACHING DIFFER FROM CORPORATE COACHING?


Athletes Versus Employees

Most athletes are young, open to improvement, eager to learn and anxious to receive what a coach can provide. For the athlete, there is a defined season and something tangible to compete for. Feedback is automatic, immediate, and specific; and athletes can easily change coaches and/or teams. Employees, on the other hand, aren t as emotionally committed. When have you seen an adult cry or rant and rage when a goal was not achieved? For employees, feedback and performance are hard to quantify. Work goes on; there is no end and often only vague scorecards. Lastly, employees do not demand corporate coaching or search critically for performance improvement. Without belaboring the point or making value judgments, suffice it to say that the two have different values and motivations. However, these differences do not change what constitutes effective coaching behaviors.

The application of CMOE s Eight Step Coaching model may differ, but the concepts will not. All coaches for example, need to create a supportive, trusting relationship (Step One). Further, all coaches need to create the internal motivation or initiate a desire to pursue a more effective course of action (Step Two).
Sports Coaching Versus Corporate Coaching

In sports, the coach can rarely outperform those coached, yet in business the coach will probably be an accomplished player. One of the most successful coaches in the National Basketball Association never played professional basketball. Is it possible to conceive of a successful sales manager who never was a salesperson? In sports, coaching is a full-time job supported in many cases with assistant coaches; in business the coach has many diverse responsibilities. In gymnastics the coach s span of control is usually on-on-one.

The number of suits on the bench, during a college basketball game, often equals or outnumbers the uniforms or actual players. Athletes can practice before the game and take time-outs; in business the clock is always running. Most athletic coaches see themselves as, first and foremost, teachers. Even though the word "coach has become a popular addition to most managers job descriptions, we doubt that many would also include teacher. So while the playing field and conditions are different, we believe that there are some unique lessons to be learned from sports coaching and applied to corporate coaching. ***

Legal Assistants, Paralegals And Lawyers - What's The

If you've ever dreamed of one day becoming a lawyer but you've been hesitant to take the plunge, a viable alternative would be a legal assistant or paralegal. Both are two peas in a pod and thus either one is probably as close as you can get to becoming a lawyer, without actually being a lawyer.

In addition, employment in this field is projected to grow much faster than average. The current trend of employers trying to reduce costs by hiring paralegals to perform duties formerly carried out by lawyers is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. As a result, employment opportunities are projected to grow much faster than average for the next 10 years or so. From doing extensive research on various cases to helping create legal drafts and filing every important legal document, interested individuals can actually learn all that even in the comfort of their own homes through online paralegal training.

Online Training From doing extensive research on various cases to helping create legal drafts and filing every important legal document, interested individuals can actually learn all that even in the comfort of their own homes through online paralegal training. This is where you'll actually get the basic knowledge that you'll need in order to become a full-pledged legal assistant. However, be advised that law firms as well as other legal institutions are looking for highly skilled legal assistants who can outwit others with their keen sense of critical thinking.

Many online legal assistant and paralegal training programs will condense 27 subject units into 10 with 6 and 12-month certificate programs being offered. How you want to approach the training is really up to you and how the different options being offered best fit in your budget, schedule and how quickly you can master the subject matter.

Online paralegal training clearly has its' perks with the obvious one being convenience.

One must always keep in mind that even though the paralegals or legal assistants' primary function, whether working for a private law firm or government agency, is to assist the lawyers with their case loads. Duties include extensive case research and organizing all types of files, drafting contracts for clients, mortgages, drafting of separation agreements, tax returns, planning estates as well as other important legal duties.

However, there are actually some paralegals that do more than that. At times, they are also asked to organize and coordinate the schedules and activities of other employees in the law office, perhaps even to track law office financial records. Of course, this is clearly employer dependent and on the skill set each legal assistant brings to the table. On the other hand, it's always best to be prepared for such tasks, which is why you never place limits on yourself and why you should always be looking for ways to obtain additional training. In other words, even after you earn a 6 or 12-month certificate online keep going.

A few simple ways to enhance your knowledge is by reading various law books as well as absorbing the legal environment by watching the news and keeping abreast of current events. One should always strive to keep themselves up to snuff with whatever is happening in the news and try to challenge yourself even further by coming up with arguments and other legal discussions concerning whichever cases you've been assigned to handle.

Online training boasts of some of the best minds in the legal profession. They can offer their expertise in creating drafts for whichever situation that they may have a use for it and basically just give legal assistant hopefuls the basic knowledge behind law. Due to the current and projected abundance of work opportunities is one of the primary reasons why there's been a literal mushrooming of online paralegal training sites popping up. Many of the traditional brick and mortar training schools and facilities are now offering online training.

Browse through all sorts of online paralegal training sites, compare training fees as well as how extensive their online paralegal training programs are. You'll make a wise chose if you put the same effort into finding the right source to train you and as plan on putting into the learning process once you choose who to receive your training from.
