Some days don’t just add knowledge—they shift the way we see people, including ourselves. March 10, 2026, was one of those days for the entire team of Rumah Impian Indonesia.
It was more than just a training session. It became a space to pause, reflect, and rediscover how we show up—for the children we serve, for one another, and for every story we walk alongside.
A Space for Honest Learning
The in-house training was facilitated by Yayasan Bijaksana Lintas Negeri (Biline Growth), led directly by Brynerio S.T., PCC, Founder & Commissioner of Biline Group, and Edwin C. Tedjososrokuntjoro S.T., Chief Operating Officer.
From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt different. It wasn’t about lectures—it was about conversations. Real, honest conversations about how we perceive, judge, and understand others.
One key insight that stood out was the distinction between assessment and assertion. Many of us realized how often we unknowingly mix the two:
- Assessment is shaped by personal perception and emotion
- Assertion is grounded in facts that can be verified
This simple distinction carries deep implications. In social work, it reminds us not to rush into conclusions about a child or family based only on appearances—but to understand the context behind their stories.
Understanding Self, Embracing Others
Another powerful session introduced us to the Behavior Perception Matrix.
It helped us recognize four common working styles:
- Promotor – energetic and idea-driven
- Supporter – caring and relationship-oriented
- Controller – decisive and goal-focused
- Analyzer – detail-oriented and data-driven
There is no “best” type. Instead, we learned that strong teams are built through differences.
In reflection sessions, many participants discovered that how they see themselves can differ from how others perceive them. And in that gap lies growth.
Emotions and Human Needs
The training also invited us to explore something deeper—our emotions.
We reflected on how:
- Sadness comes from losing something important
- Fear arises from the possibility of losing something important
This perspective reshapes how we respond to others—especially the children and families we support.
Because behind every behavior, there is always a need waiting to be understood.
More Than Just Training
At the end of the day, we didn’t just leave with notes. We left with a new lens.
That communication is not just about speaking, but about distinguishing facts from assumptions.
That teamwork is not about being right, but about working together.
And that in every interaction, we have a choice—to judge or to understand.
This in-house training reminded us that our journey as an organization is not only about serving outwardly, but also about growing inwardly.
Because when the team grows, the impact grows with it. And that is the dream we continue to build— Rumah Impian is not only for children, but also an organization shaped by people who keep learning, growing, and supporting one another.
