Business Culture Consulting firm. Making an iMPaCt one business at a time.Together, Crystal and the MPC team, have raised millions dollars for start ups. The reason our team was able to raise so much capital is because we understand what investors are looking for in a business pitch. We specifically designed a program, The Money Pitch, that would help startups and any entrepreneur raise needed capital through creating a great business pitch.What are your thoughts on Company Culture?I believe company culture is underestimated in the business world. Company culture sets the tone for incredible success or incredible mediocrity. A strong culture, can improve business performance by motivating employees and coordinating their behavior towards a vision and specific performance goals that benefit the company. It has been proven when an employee feels valued and appreciated they give more of themselves to the company. Our program, The Driven Business, takes a look at building your company culture from the recruiting process into developing talent inside your organization.What are your thoughts on educational training?\"Because I believe I can be the best, it only motivates me to help others to reach their true potential as well. In the area of teaching and training employees, I have had the pleasure of watching my students grow and become some of the best in their perspective fields. It is an amazing opportunity to assist others on their career path and it provides a sense of great pride in seeing those you have nurtured through education achieve their goals.\"
