Dr. Whittaker has over 22 years of experience working to use the knowledge of psychological science to improve the human resource performance of client organizations. As a Corporate Psychologist, his work has been built upon the mission of understanding people at work... to increase their effectiveness, satisfaction, and success. His clients range from small, privately-owned businesses to publicly-held Fortune 500 companies. His services to client organizations include executive assessment and coaching, assessment of candidates for employment, succession planning for senior management positions, training workshops and team retreats, and related counsel and advising toward building stronger, more effective and progressively-managed organizations. In addition to active involvement in interviewing and assessment-based consulting, his professional interests include work to develop stronger leadership talent, especially as relates to coaching and developing people with particular attention to needs for real-time feedback! Although most client companies view his operating style as very practical and hands-on, Dr. Whittakers work has the backing of a formal education that includes a B.S. in psychology from LSU and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in clinical psychology from the University of Louisville. He is licensed as a psychologist in both North and South Carolina and is a member of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Consulting Division of APA, the Mecklenburg Psychological Association, and the Charlotte I/O Psychology Network. Dr. Whittaker is a sometime distance cyclist and remarkably average golfer but more consistently a fan of jazz-rock fusion, travel, and the latest electronic gadgetry.
