• “Excuses” fool self

    "Excuses" fool self ("alasan" menipu diri), according to Samsul. He tells his story of realizing that things said by people (and by him) to him(self) are just excuses, so now he says to himself, POUNCE (TERJAH)!

    More information on Samsul is available by emailing me at: hasan@rubah.my

    Are you awake?
    Yes.
    Hakim dah meninggal.
    ‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
    (We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)

    Hakim brought fish. All the way from Terengganu to Kuala Lumpur for the big reunion event a year ago. He would cut the fish and grill them for the reunion feast. He would do anything for others.

    Hakim gave and gave. When I met him the first time at Red Card Cafe in Bangi for an earlier reunion gathering, he gave away Terengganu fish to ex-schoolmates till he emptied the iced polystyrene crate in the boot of his seasoned Mercedes Benz.

    Are you awake?
    Yes.
    Hakim dah meninggal.
    ‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
    (We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)

    Hakim usually wore Indonesian batik, not batik from Terengganu where he was born, in Dungun. Aah… his loving wife, Rose hails from Medan, Indonesia. Their only child, son Arshad​ would take annual leave from work in Kuala Lumpur to take care of his Papa for the surgery in Terengganu.

    He had colon cancer, stage 4 by the time it was detected in mid-2017. It affected his liver and he went through palliative care in his life-remaining days.

    Are you awake?
    Yes.
    Hakim dah meninggal.
    ‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
    (We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)

    In Dungun, droves of friends would make the journey to visit Hakim. He would offer to arrange “homestay” accommodation to ease our stay there. He wanted to take friends to Dungun’s favourite eating places, despite being on painkillers.

    When Marsila​ and I looked him up at his family home there, he would entertain us with cutting coconut from his front yard to let us savour the juice.

    Are you awake?
    Yes.
    Hakim dah meninggal.
    ‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
    (We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)

    He rapidly lost strength and moved to Selayang Hospital in Kuala Lumpur. In his life-remaining days he lived with his elder sister in Sungai Buloh, where palliative assistance from an organization like Hospice (Hospis in Malaysia) would be available that Terengganu lacked.

    At Selayang Hospital, Hakim was excited about an alternative medicine he found that was beginning to show positive changes as predicted by the provider. He was a battler. He would always be cheerful, before and during the sickness. He was happy receiving more droves of visitors at Selayang Hospital and the sister's home.

    Are you awake?
    Yes.
    Hakim dah meninggal.
    ‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
    (We surely belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)

    Hakim left us at 1:00 AM on Sunday, 21 January 2018 and was brought back to lay to rest in Dungun.

    Hakim was Marsila’s schoolmate. I did not have to know him long and I did not have know him well. He left me his impression. His generosity. His fish. His smirks and laughs. We miss him.

    Interested to make your coming 12 months your best year yet?


    YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ALL OF THE ABOVE AT THIS FREE BEST YEAR YET® PREVIEW WORKSHOP ONLINE (1.5 HOURS).

    Setting and achieving goals in work and life (or call it planning and making the plan happen) feels tough! We get overwhelmed with too many goals, or anxious when we don't know if it's too many or too few.

    We think we are sure about what we really want, then what we initially set out to do gets changed, or dropped, or even forgotten!

    We are ablaze with enthusiasm at first, then things happen in life as we plod through the year, we get distracted, don't complete all our plans, so we feel frustrated or unfulfilled. Or we simply lose interest in what we had promised to ourselves.

    Year in, year out the cycle repeats.

    With Best Year Yet®, you will be relieved and confident because you see a crystal clear set of goals for a whole coming period of 12 months. How about I give you a full 12 months' plan in just 1 page?

    With my program, you get ablaze with enthusiasm as you rightly should, but this high spirit and consistency stays with you yearlong, because you and I stick together not just for a limited number of interactions, but an extended period of you progressively mastering yourself to celebrate the results that matter to you for that 12 months' period.

    It's up to you now. Participate in this free preview workshop online with me, Hasan (Hasannudin Saidin), Best Year Yet® Coach: bit.ly/coach-hasan

  • When I Coach You

    Tie 2Hi! I am Hasannudin Saidin, Coach at Rubah. Call me Hasan or Coach Hasan.

    Setting and achieving goals in work and life (or call it planning and making the plan happen) feels tough! We get overwhelmed with too many goals (or anxious when we don’t know if it’s too many or too few).

    We think we are sure about what we really want, then what we initially set out to do gets changed, or dropped, or even forgotten!

    We are ablaze with enthusiasm at first, then things happen in life along the year, we get distracted, don’t complete all our plans, so we feel frustrated or unfulfilled. Or we simply lose interest in what we had promised to ourselves.

    Year in, year out the cycle repeats…

    When I coach you, you will be relieved and confident because you see a crystal clear set of goals for a whole coming period of 12 months. How about I give you a full 12 months’ plan in just one page?

    With Coach Hasan, you get ablaze with enthusiasm as you rightly should, but this high spirit and consistency stays with you yearlong, because you and I stick together not just for a limited number of interactions, but an extended period of you progressively mastering yourself to celebrate the results that matter to you for that 12 months’ period.

    Hasan Standing


    Hasannudin Saidin

    Coach, Facilitator, Trainer
    at Rubah Associates

    Business Chair / Community Host
    at PeersOnDemand.my

    Certified Partner, Best Year Yet® Coaching
    at Best Year Yet® Worldwide

    Speaker
    at Rubah Associates

    Hi! I am Coach Hasan. I am a coach, facilitator, trainer and speaker at Rubah Associates, a learning and development company I co-founded.

    Specialization

    My expertise is in coaching, facilitating and training, bringing with me the requisite experience and skills acquired during the corporate life I came from.

    As a coach, I build and maintain a partnership relationship between you (the client) and I, to help enable learning and contribute to the achieving of goals set by you. As a trainer, I facilitate learning by designing, customizing and delivering trainings and follow-through sessions, to create lasting learning experiences for your personal mastery and organizational excellence. 

    In coaching, facilitating and training you to achieve your goals, I predominantly facilitate a process called Best Year Yet® that is geared towards breaking through barriers, finding what really matters to you, and inspiring you to create the results you want. Using this process, I draw out your own wisdom, values and insight, making your plan and your living of your life meaningful and focused on your most important goals.

    Also, Muslim senior leaders will benefit from my coaching that reinforces their spiritual path, enhancing their professional and personal life.

    With non-Muslim clients, similarly they receive benefit of reinforcement of universal values that I may not necessarily use Islamic terminology.

    Experience

    I have more than 40 years working experience, most of them in the corporate world, having held multiple positions in services, business, leadership and management, especially in the fields of ICT, innovation and government.

    I had more than 26 years tenure at IBM Malaysia, then was Chief Executive Officer of an innovation consulting startup company under Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang. Upon my return to Kuala Lumpur I served at HeiTech Managed Services before joining Multimedia Development Corporation (now known as Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) for my final corporate position.

    Education and Personal Interest

    I hold a Master of Business Administration degree from Cardiff University, UK. My interest in productivity led me to acquire certifications as Getting Things Done® (GTD®) Coach and Trainer and Best Year Yet® Coach and Trainer. I am also a believer in open innovation, having presented the topic in the speaking circuit and written on it in local publications.

    I am a former committee member of MAFa (Malaysian Association of Facilitators). My other community positions in the past include Vice President of Malaysia National Computer Federation (MNCC) which is an association for computer and ICT professionals and Treasurer of the National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM) which is an association of companies in the ICT industry.

    I live with my wife in Kuala Lumpur. We have two married children who have left the nest, and I can often be seen playing with my four grandchildren. Otherwise look for me outside, cycling, or inside in my home theatre room watching Star Trek series, celebrating the human spirit.
