If you're self-censoring around people who are different from you for fear of being misunderstood, you aren't commanding respect as a leader. Your silence is enabling you to get run over. Let's be honest: You didn't sign up to lead a diverse team just to blend in. You feel called, you love people, and believe you can make a difference. So why are you still tiptoeing around the people you work with?

Hi there! I'm Dr. Michelle Reyes
I’m a professor of cultural engagement at Wheaton College, a leadership coach, author of the award-winning book Becoming All Things, and the founder of Success Culture coaching.
I’ve helped 800+ leaders build influence & respect with their diverse teams using my Aligned Authority Framework.
The culturally-informed leadership development I teach has helped my clients: 1) step into senior leadership roles without losing their voice, 2) navigate cultural tensions without fear or second-guessing, and 3) be praised by peers & supervisors for their authenticity and wisdom.
If you’re still copying leadership trends that don’t fit you – without a personal development plan rooted in who you are — you’ll stay stuck in survival mode. You don’t need more “do’s” and “don’ts”. You need a strategic plan that helps you define your leadership role and build out an aligned communication style.
