Leadership Coach Professor Award-Winning Author helping YOU build influence & respect with your diverse team

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.

Here's what no one tells you:
1) Diverse spaces don't magically become safer just because you're nice
2) People won't automatically respect you because you mean well
3) If you don't claim your voice, the loudest person in the room will define you
The real shift?
You don't need to read more books on leadership or culture.
You need more clarity about:
1) who you are
2) what your voice is
3) the value you already bring to the table
It's time you stopped surviving...and started leading as your best self
