NBSC: Unearthing the Threads of Leadership
May 16, 2025—Northern Bukidnon State College immersed into building leadership backbone through the Transformational Leaders Academy Cycle 2: Synthesis and Processing. Held at Villa Imelda Farm Resort, the training was participated by 49 academic and administrative leaders who actively shared their experiences and core values in transformative leadership. Dr. Nelly Z. Limbadan, a Clinical Psychologist, and the Assistant Dean of the Social Sciences Cluster at Ateneo de Davao University, facilitated the event as the resource speaker and processed the shared leadership experiences from organizational citizenship, to resilience, and then, accountability.
The session focused on the synthesis and processing of leadership experiences, empowering participants to reflect deeply on their personal and professional growth. Through guided reflection sessions, collaborative discussions, and experiential learning activities, participants explored real-life leadership challenges and identified key insights to enhance their effectiveness and impact. The training emphasized the importance of self-awareness, adaptive thinking, and learning from lived experiences as essential components of transformative leadership.
Mr. Reynan S. Salo, the Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Coordinator, emphasized the importance of community of care in the workplace as he reflected on how the activities were microcosm of the institution’s current condition.
Dr. Christine C. Royo, the Program Head of the Institute of Teacher Education, stated, “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴.” Meanwhile, Mr. Alven L.
