A Day in the Life: Rachel Hernandez

by Tessa Vogel
March 7, 2022
Follow VP of Operations Rachel Hernandez’s Day, in and outside of the office.

Take a moment to search “Daily Habits of Successful People” in your internet browser. The results will display common themes of balance. Managing a trifecta of work, wellness, and self-improvement is no easy task for a professional and it’s easy to find excuses.

Vice President of Operations Rachel Hernandez defies all obstacles to make it happen each day.

Starting off the day with gratitude journaling.

4:37 am
Wake up, make coffee.  

4:45 am
Gratitude journal. I read this book, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and am finding a ton of success in building new habits by using the practices in it. I practice habit stacking, which means I get my journal done every morning by pairing it with my cup of coffee.

4:50 am
Rosetta Stone (Spanish) for 15 min. My husband is from Mexico and is a native Spanish speaker. I want to be confident in my communication to better function in my local community and in future travels.

5:05 am
Prepare for leading the Q1 book club discussions for the local chapter of Moms Run This Town. I’m on the Leadership Team and coordinate a quarterly book club discussion for our 1,500 members.

5:20 am
Listen to NPR news, pack gym bag.

5:40 am
Head to YMCA to swim.

6 am-7 am
Swim 1300 meters. I did a few 300m intervals, some drill work, and practiced that somersault move to turn around at the end of the pool. I’m terrible at it, but that’s why I’m practicing!

7-7:45 am
Get ready for work and head to my home office. I’ll hug and kiss my 1st and 3rd graders before they head to school.

7:45 am
I log onto my work computer and grab a second cup of coffee.

VP Rachel Hernandez In her Home Office.

8:15 am-4:30 pm
The workday is a blur. My schedule is booked solid with meetings. 
  • Start my day by delivering annual performance reviews.
  • Move into the creation and updating of a few business process management tools with my Directors.
  • Join a call with Talent Acquisition and Human Resources to discuss hiring trends and go-forward strategies. My awesome husband brings me lunch in my home office, so I didn’t get hangry being back-to-back in meetings.
  • Take a 10-minute break to post on LinkedIn and Facebook about Give BIG Green Bay and make my donations.
  • Host a patient-centric client strategy meeting.
  • It’s a sunny and warm (22 degrees) day – so I step away from work for a parent-teacher conference via phone while enjoying a walk around my block.
  • Met with my amazing administrator to finalize the slide deck for my 200-person virtual meeting tomorrow.
  • Jump on a quick call with a client.
  • Meet one to one with my reports throughout the day.
  • Work through a LinkedIn Learning course: Leveraging Neuroscience in the Workplace. I do 15 min in between meetings and then at 4:30 pm after daily meetings end.
  • Just kidding, another quick work conversation. I log off at 4:50 pm to start the next part of my day. The kids have been home for over an hour, I haven't seen them yet.

4:50 pm
Have the kids write thank you notes, get ready to head to the YMCA.

Back to the gym with the kids.

5:25 pm
Arrive at YMCA and get the kids to their classes. My husband gets in 3 miles on the treadmill, I run 4 miles in circles around the track.

6:45 pm 
We listen to the Encanto soundtrack on the way home and sing along. We know every word to those songs by this point.

7 pm
Dinner consists of simple penne pasta for the kids, and my husband made this delicious couscous dish for the two of us  (It’s couscous with a rice vinegar dressing, roasted carrots seasoned with sesame seeds,  then topped with feta fresh mint and parsley). I eat mostly whole and plant-based food (vegetarian), and my husband has joined me about 75% of the way with his eating too.

Rachel's delicious plant based dinner.

7:30 pm
The kids get their tablets, we clean up dinner.

7:45 pm
First downtime moment of the day. A while back, a co-worker told me about a show on Amazon Prime that I should watch. Three years later, there’s finally time. We watch the pilot episode of The Marvelous Ms. Maisel and enjoy a margarita each.

8:30 pm 
We tell the kids it’s bedtime. One has a meltdown that’s resolved 15 minutes later with cuddles. Then I fill out my end-of-day gratitude journal.

9:00 pm
Read with my daughter.

9:15 pm
We’re all out cold.

And with that, a day in the life of this corporate executive comes to a close. Salelytics is lucky to have such a motivated professional at the head of our operations!
