The International Consortium for Coaching in Organizations

LMI Building: 2000 Corporate Ridge, Third floor Conference Center, McLean, VA 22102
Thursday, June 24th and Friday June 25th, 2010

Sponsors: Cambria Consulting, Lee Hecht Harrison, and Booz Allen Hamilton

Our client, Erica Bovaird of NASA, will be presenting one of four cases in an intimate forum that brings stakeholders of coaching in organizations together. The focus of the two days is on case studies from real organizations and the challenges facing their coaching practice leaders, presented by those practice leaders. Attendees collaborate to identify ways to address those challenges, and through the experience, they gain practical resources and strategies they can apply to their own organizations. It’s also a great opportunity to network with fellow coaching program managers. Ellen Kumata, Cambria’s Managing Director, will also be attending.

Participation is limited so be sure to register early as seats are filling fast. Register at the ICCO website:

For many years, our Interactive Services group has created customized online onboarding systems that introduce new employees – from entry-level personnel to top executives – to the people, culture and values of the company, using video and other rich media. Much more than a basic introduction to the company, or a “PR spin” on why it is a great place to work, Cambria’s online orientations are portals that all employees can return to for important information on compensation, benefits, professional and management development, company policies, and best practices, as well as cultural and community values and goals, that keep everyone connected and engaged.

For more information, visit our page on New Employee Orientation, or contact Ray Elman if you would like to see a live demonstration.
