Hi there! I'm Dr. Michelle Reyes, an intercultural coach and certified cultural intelligence (CQ) trainer. I help you engage across difference with confidence and care, not fear or guilt. Learn more below about my Success Culture newsletter, my award-winning book (Becoming All Things), and coaching services.
When folks reach out to me, they’re not usually in crisis. They’re just tired of navigating complicated intercultural situations without anyone who truly understands what they’re experiencing.
I’ve worked with over 1,000 leaders around the world, and I see the same patterns everywhere:
You feel different from the people around you
You often feel misunderstood
You’re unclear on what to say/how with people who are different from you
You struggle to be yourself and feel respected in your diverse context
You know what you’re missing? The right language. Not generic formulas. Not over-adaptation that leads to self-erasure. Not overly apologetic postures. But language that helps others better understand you and vice versa.
If you want to lead across cultures with confidence and care, not fear or guilt, you need the language of culture.
That’s where intercultural coaching comes in.
A little more about myself...
Over the past 15 years, I’ve helped 1,000 leaders around the world engage across difference with confidence and care, not fear or guilt.
I’ve taught courses on cultural engagement and leading with cultural intelligence at Wheaton College and guest lectured at Harvard, Yale, Vanderbilt, and other universities. My work as an intercultural coach has included 1:1 coaching with pastors, missionaries, and executives as well as staff trainings for organizations, including International Justice Mission, Salvation Army, Cru, JesusFilm, Athletes in Action, and Missio Nexus.
I offer cultural assessments, 1:1 intercultural leadership coaching, and customized team trainings designed to help leaders in diverse contexts grow in their cultural self-awareness, navigate cultural complexity with openness and understanding, and work more effectively with people who are different from you.
