Why Coaching Certification
Globally executive and business coaching has soared to become a $10-billion industry thanks to waves of uncertainties and disruption precipitated by rapid development in technology, rise of millennium workforce, globalization and rise of China. With command-and-control management style giving way to highly participative and empowering leadership, and best-known-methods to agile and adaptive learning, coaching will continue to gain appeal because it works for a VUCA world, intensified only by the 2020 Covid pandemic: Coaching deals with employee engagement, growth, creativity and achievement by removing roadblocks to development and performance as no other development tool.
In this context of coaching skills being a new currency for the 21st century workforce and a coaching approach or culture far transcending the needs of executives, coaching has been rated the top desired skill for front-line managers (Chief Learning Officer Magazine), and the demand for trained coaches operating both internally and externally has fueled the need for coaching certification programs. In the US alone, there are more than 200 coach certification programs, which helps make becoming a certified coach one of the most popular career shifts in the last decade.

When executed properly, coaching provides greater intrinsic motivation, in other words, inspiring the self-directed willingness to try new things and make new discoveries. According to McKinsey, when employees find greater intrinsic motivation, they are 32% more committed to their work and 46% more satisfied with their jobs.

Chérie Carter-Scott works from a place of deep empathy and understanding of the business context. The MMS Coach Training is one of the most empowering experiences I have been through in my life: it freed me from limiting mindsets and opened up potential in me that I had been unconscious about up to that moment. It created a foundation for trusting the inner knowing that had been guiding me ever since. Chérie is masterful and transformational coach – she is wholly committed to serving the growth of others and is a champion in calling forth that growth.

An important attribute of the MMS Coaching Training was the time that Dr. Chérie and Michael dedicated throughout the training to personally introducing the MMS material, tools, practical advice, and role play with us throughout the training. This greatly enhanced our virtual and in-person learning environment. For that reason alone I believe that investment in the MMS Coaching Training is returning value tenfold to our organization. The training is affording me an outstanding opportunity to give back both professionally and personally to others.

Program Overview
Our TECC is a 4-month intensive virtual Level 2 program
This program teaches masterful executive coaching, using the original MMS coaching methodology, coupled with the ICF Core Competencies, with the addition of the executive coaching context/framework.
The approach is based on these 3 key assumptions:
People have an “Inner Knowing” regarding what is right for them
People possess the inner resources to manifest what they want in their lives
People and organizations can have their lives be the way they truly want them
Our TECC provides over 125 ICF-accredited training hours and presents 2 times a week in 3-hour modules.
The hours are on Friday and Saturday afternoons, between 3:45-7:00 on Fridays, and 1:45-5:00 on Saturdays, both China time. There are also 10 mentoring sessions included (7 in group setting and 3 individual), along with a 3-month subscription to the MMS Virtual Training with additional coaching videos by Dr. Carter-Scott. Supporting documents and videos will be accessible on our e-learning platform.
Our TECC consists of 2 modalities that promise flexibility in learning and getting credentialed:
Level 1 (ACSTH) is a 60-hour training for those who want to learn the basics of coaching, (and 10 hours of mentoring). After this training and the completion of 100 coaching hours, the candidate is then eligible to take the CKA (Coach Knowledge Assessment) Exam in order to receive their Level 1 Associate Certified Coach (ACC). Level 2 (ACTP) is a 125-hour training that goes deeper into the coaching core competencies. After this training and the completion of 400 additional coaching hours, and 10 additional hours of mentoring, the candidate is then eligible to apply for Professional Certified Coach (PCC).

Since our experienced faculty have successfully navigated through these stages, they will be able to mentor you to your competency as an Associate, Professional, or even a Master Coach (2,500 hours of coaching, 200 hours of training, and 10 additional mentoring hours).
