The third in a series for business coaches or people who might hire them offers advice on how to tailor coaching practice to various populations. Most of the articles consider a specific country, discussing heritage traditions; the influence of tradition on behavior, self-perception, and relationships; and developing culturally appropriate coaching. Other topics include coaching Black Britons and Americans, alpha males, women, and coaching people through life transitions.
