stage is based on one of Dr. Carter Scott’s courses, the Inner Negotiation Workshop. At Bradford College, Carter-Scott asked if she, as a student, could produce and direct a production. She was told that since the start of the college in 1803 this had never been sanctioned. Carter-Scott promptly initiated contact with Megan Terry, writer of Comings and Goings and bought the rights to her play. Carter-Scott conducted auditions in Haverhill, Mass and then proceeded to launch the first student produced and directed production in the history of the college. In 1979, she approached Viacom about her concept for a TV show. She was met with skeptical rebuke, yet she persisted. The result was 26-half hour shows titled, Inner View. Her guests included Daniel and Patricia Elsberg, Jerry Jampolsky (Love is Letting Go of Fear), Thomas Gordon (Parent Effectiveness Training), Helga Howie (designer), Willie Brown (SF politician), Dr. Richard Litwin (ophthalmologist in 3rd world countries & Berkeley), and many others. Her purpose was to demonstrate that the media could do more than entertain and educate, that it could inspire the viewer to believe in him/herself. In 1985, Lynn, Carter-Scott’s sister and she started “Extended Family Services” a cultural exchange program across the globe which took 18-25 year-old young adults for a “Gap” year. The program selected, trained, and placed these young adults in families on the opposite side of the ocean to manage a household for busy executives, two-paycheck households, or single parents for one year. Carter-Scott has developed and filmed her own content for 130 Virtual Training modules produced in partnership with LSVT in Las Vegas. Personal life Carter-Scott has lived in France, Switzerland, Netherlands and Thailand as well as the US. In 1998 she got an instrument-rated private pilot license and obtained her PADI scuba diving certification despite of blocked ears and confirmation that she would never be able to scuba dive.
