CHERIE CARTER-SCOTT (LIFE COACH): ‘PEOPLE FOCUS TOO MUCH ON WHAT THEY DON’T HAVE’

PROFILE – She was a guest in over 400 television shows, including Oprah. Cherie Carter-Scott is known as the ‘mother of coaching’, author of books on life and a pioneer in the field of human development and motivation. “I am a curious person”, she says about her profession.  

“I want to know what makes people happy”, says Carter-Scott. And yes, there are probably too many life coaches in the world, but “it’s just very nice to have someone that believes in you and motivates you.”

Carter-Scott, who lost her mom at a young age and saw her dad take off when she was only 20, is the author of several books about life and love. Her company MMS Worldwide trains people to be a life coach, using special, self-designed methods.
