Civika Coaching Institute

Bridging Leadership faculty are lifelong learners who strive to get better at cultivating the leadership skills of the learners they handle.

Modeled after and designed to be forward-compatible with the Zuellig Foundation BL Coaching Circle system, the BL Coach Level 1 is designed for first-time coaches who aspire to grow with the BL training ecosystem, especially outside of the health sector. The BL Coacing Certificate Level 1 course also draws heavily from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) BL coaching system.
