Colleagues describe her as "I encourage every organizational leader to have a coach like Michelle, who has been my trusted mentor for the last six years. The most valuable thing I have learned from her is that we, as managers, have the responsibility to confront ambiguity, conflict, and change head on, and that we must always begin by first confronting ourselves. In every challenging situation I discuss with Michelle, she makes me examine and take agency for my own attitudes and actions, and insists on practical, ethical, and authentic leadership at all times. I cannot recommend her highly enough." and "I sought Michelle Hernandez out immediately when she first transitioned into education because I was struck by her perceptiveness about individuals' strengths and development areas and depth of personal experience managing in complex organizations. She was able to channel those strengths and so many more to build The Broad Residency's leadership development programming. Michelle synthesized the lessons from our first years of operations through insightful data analysis and qualitative reviews in order to codify the program and find ways to tailor it to an increasingly diverse set of placements in districts, charters, and policy organizations. She served as an invaluable strategic thought partner on every aspect of the program who I could also rely on to execute the daily demands of a high intensity national program. I have no doubt that the groundwork Michelle laid has been critical in driving the leadership development and growth of countless Broad Residents. "
