MMS Northern California
MMS Northern California, the Birthplace of Coaching
In 1974s chaos, in the middle of the Vietnam War/Watergate saga, a bold, curious woman, Dr. Chérie Carter-Scott the founder of MMS, started talking about—and doing—something nobody else was doing: personal development coaching.
When the MMS Institute began in 1974, no one else was focused on personal development in a systematic way and Dr. Chérie Carter-Scott discovered that she had the skill to help others become attuned to their inner wisdom. She pioneered a career path that never existed before and in the process, founded the MMS Institute.
San Francisco was fertile ground for this coaching movement to take root, and the concept grew quickly. In the amost 50 years sinces its inception, the MMS Institute has trained thousands of credentialed coaches and hundreds of corporations have used the coaching services offered by the institute and its coaches.
The mission remains is the same: to give people quality and thorough coaching training as they become their best selves and help others do the same.
The MMS Institute is headquartered in The Netherlands, with offices in Northern California, Thailand, Vietnam, Dubai, Singapore, and Amsterdam.
And, it all started here in San Francisco
