If you're interested in coming across as your very best self in media, you should look to Michelle Hord. Michelle was the first producer at GMA who trained me for media interviews at a time when I knew very little nor what to expect. She taught me the tricks of the trade and more importantly, how to bolster my own confidence. Michelle is the very best.

Michelle is one of the most impressive and special leaders I have ever had the pleasure of working for. She takes a direct and supportive approach, clearly communicates her vision and makes the hard calls. When I joined her team at NBCUniversal, I saw her lead organizational transformations, working across multiple sub-businesses, stakeholders and brands. She has the ability to blend her extreme creativity with practical business applications, which is one of her superpowers
Gina Camuso Mihm | Head of People, Surveyor Capital
It's always a pleasure to work with Michelle because not only is she the consummate professional, but she brings such a broad base of experience to the table given her background. Michelle partnered with my NBCU HR team and I to roll out an Employee Value Proposition (EVP) campaign she and her team developed and the collaborative process was fantastic. The campaign itself was flexible, creative, timely, relevant and could be leveraged in a myriad of ways. Her team also provided us with all the necessary tools and support to roll it out effectively.
