One commentator in the article
begins by saying that culture does not really matter in executive coaching, and
thenlater talks himself out his own opinion based on his own experiences. Most
of the evidence in the article is based on stories alone; however, the
gentleman gives a numbers of his own experiences as a psychologist/consultant
and he presents his own hypotheses about individuals who are culturally
driven. He urges individuals not to
ignore culture in consulting, but to not use it as a beginning or ending point.

This article states that there are
many job opportunities for consulting psychologists in the United States. Health care institutions and schools are two
types of organizations that are quickly changing and quite neglected in the
field consulting psychology. The author
states that health care will greatly benefit from the skill set of a consulting
psychologist’s organizational effectiveness, empirical research, and
psychological training. The author does
mention that many doctoral programs lack the training in consulting psychology

This may lead the psychologist to overuse methods learned in psychology
disciplines or they may have to apprentice or retrain in consulting
psychology. The author stresses that
graduate programs in consulting psychology need to expand soon in order to
properly train for the expanding need for jobs in this field.
