Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of working together on numerous projects with Will Hernandez at the Air Forces Air Combat Command in Langley Virginia. His knowledge level of Organization Change Management and Statistical Analysis is second to none. He taught me something new with each and every project. He doesn't just facilitate meetings and projects. He is truly gifted in mentoring organizations in real sustainable organizational change. On numerous occasions I have seen him get results where others have failed. If I owned a company Will Hernandez would be one of the first people I would want on my team. I would recommend Will Hernandez for any leadership role within any organization knowing that he would achieve immediate sustainable results and the organization would benefit for years to come.
