ZF Seminars

In 2024, ZF launched its inaugural (virtual) Seminar focusing on "leadership": Journeys in Leadership Three stories, Three stages. The seminar, whose concept was developed by the ZF Student & Alumni Advisory Group (SAG), was moderated by Coach Sharon Bracken and alum Willow Dunster. The speakers, alums Abe Shkara and Bob Chabot and ZF student, Anna Ionescu, explored their experiences with leadership at different life and career stages.
​
Each year ZF presents a seminar on a theme of interest put forth by coaches, students and/or alums. For 2025, based on recommendations by students and ZF's Student and Alumni Advisory Group, the focus will be on careers in healthcare.
