Carl Zangerl Brings the Zen and Art of Communications to a New Master's Degree Program for Northeastern University

Market Wire, May, 2007

Carl Zangerl, Founder of ZHC Partners, was recently featured in Encore, the journal of the School of Professional and Continuing Studies at Northeastern University, for his role in creating a new Master's Degree program in corporate communications.

Zangerl was tapped as an expert resource because of his extensive background in strategic corporate communications and professional development, particularly in the financial services industry. As the head of ZHC Partners, ( www.zhcpartners.com ), he helps organizations and management teams communicate better both internally and externally.

Zangerl assisted in developing the curriculum for a new 12-month Master of Science in Corporate and Organizational Communication. The program was designed to explore the ways in which communication affects organizational and individual success. He also serves as a lead instructor.

According to Encore, Zangerl's approach to coaching and learning is best represented by the Chinese proverb, "Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand." This approach is integrated into the Master's program which combines a traditional format with an online component.

Based on these highly rated courses developed for Northeastern, ZHC Partners has launched a series of half-day workshops on effective communication skills for managers, presentation skills, and productive meetings. These workshops can be customized to address the specific needs of businesses and nonprofits.

"It's all about using communication tools and processes to optimize the success of the organization and the individual," says Zangerl.
