Our MMS Story
Since 1974, MMS has been actively developing cutting edge programs and trainings for corporations, CEO’s, business owners, and individuals to achieve optimal success, and make their visions, dreams, and goals a reality. In order to do this, we’ve formulated strategies and streamlined techniques that transcend expectations and guarantee results.
Since 1974, MMS has trained more than 10,000 associated MMS certified coaches across the globe, in 30 countries, on five continents. In 1988 our programs crossed the ocean and became available in the Netherlands.
