Bio
Vanessa Rispin
Christine provides a wealth of knowledge in the area of business consulting and marketing. I am lucky to have found her. Her coaching has enabled me to refine my business plan and gain more confidence. In addition, Christine's assistance has enabled my business to become more competitive and resilient in this turbulent economy.
Mimi Phene-McKellar
I have truly enjoyed the work process with Christine over the past year. Christine is able to access all areas of my business and work in all levels of my business. From start to finish, each month I have a detailed outline of what I am working on, as well as where my staff is in their processes. We have been able to increase efficiency, set up measuring systems, and create a balanced budget in a year that it seemed impossible to do. Sales are up, we have created new ideas outside our box, and increased the bottom line. Thanks to Christine and Momentum, CCG is growing through this economic downturn.
