About crystal Richards

Principal & Owner 
Misfit Project Manager, Xennial 

I train professionals to manage projects with intention, not just effort.

A lot of the people I work with never planned on being project managers. They were good at their jobs, so someone handed them a project — and suddenly they were responsible for timelines, stakeholders, budgets, and outcomes with little to no formal preparation. That's the accidental project manager. And that's exactly who I design my training for.

I've worked with federal and state government clients, associations, and corporate organizations and I understand firsthand how high-stakes, under-resourced, and complex project environments actually work. That experience shapes every program I build and every course I teach.

If you're looking for surface-level frameworks and motivational filler, you're in the wrong place.

If you want training that treats you like the capable professional you are — and gives you something you can actually use — you're in the right one.
