Crystal Richards, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM
Supporting public and private sector clients for 20+ years in healthcare management and project management has been an exciting challenge. Through it all, I have experienced the highs of success and the lows of stress and overwhelm.
My focus is to help overwhelmed teams improve their project management skills (traditional and agile) so they can lead projects with clarity, courage, and confidence.
The Indoor Recess® Summit is designed to help you master your craft and implement more efficient project management techniques so you can spend more time on the things that matter to you
