Meet Your Host

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 so they can lead projects with clarity, courage, and confidence.

With just a simple consult, we can create a positive path of productivity for your employees now and into the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of Indoor Recess?

Pricing begins at $14,995 for one day.  But we feel that most companies will get the best results with a two-day intensive workshop with the investment of $22,995. 

What you get is customized training unique to your business needs (rather than sending staff to an external event). At this group rate, everyone is getting the same training and you are receiving significant savings rather than purchasing one-off courses which typically cost $5,500 per course.

If you would like to add a graphic recording summary for attendees to view later, the investment for that begins at $3,500.  You get to keep these visual notes and use for company marketing.

Can we design an Indoor Recess for our employees that is for one day rather than two days?

Yes!

Because Indoor Recess™ Corporate is fully customizable, you not only decide which trainings are offered but also the the length of days for this event.

What if there are other course topics not in your course catalog I want to include in the agenda?

That's no problem! That's the beauty of making this a training workshop just for you!

We can design a program tailored to your specific needs and desired topics.

What is the minimum or maximum number of participants that can attend this training event?

While there is no minimum number of participants (we'll train 1 person!), the maximum number of attendees is 40 people.  

If you would like to train more people or add an extra day, please reach out to us for a more customized solution.

Do my employees need to have a PMP certification to attend the event?

While this event is geared towards advanced learners, having a PMP certification (or any certification for that matter) is not required.  Credential holders get the added benefit of applying the contact hours towards their certifications.

Does the event provide continuing education credits towards professional certifications, such as the PMP?

Yes!

By attending the training event, participants can earn approximately 16 contact hours, depending on the selected courses and schedule you co-create with MindsparQ.

A certificate of completion will be provided at the end of the training event.

What happens after Indoor Recess?

In addition to your staff earning continuing education credits that keep them in compliance with their credentials (if applicable), you have takeaway tips and strategies for each lesson taught.

If you want to take things a step further, the MindsparQ team can help you set up a community of practice where you can keep the conversations flowing.  We can help you set up self-run quarterly programs, establish an online community on platforms such as Notion, Mighty Networks, or Slack, and develop a planning schedule of events that matter to your staff.

Contact Crystal (crystal@themindsparq.com) for more details and pricing.

Indoor Recess sounds great, but I only want a couple of courses for a half-day retreat.  Can you do that?

Absolutely!  

Courses start at $5,500.  You achieve more savings when you purchase 3 courses or more in advance.

Why should I make the investment in professional development?

Organizations with a strong learning culture are 92% more likely to develop novel products and processes, 52% more productive, 56% more likely to be the first to market with their products and services, and 17% more profitable than their peers. Their engagement and retention rates are also 30–50% higher.
