Leadership Development with a Proven ROI

Most organizations (83%) believe it’s important to develop leaders at every level of the company. Yet just 5% of businesses have implemented leadership development at all levels.

Want to become one of the elite 5% and gain your competitive edge?

Your Team already has 85% of what they need to succeed. I help you find the rest to take you to new levels.

We're the ONLY Leadership Certification developed by an Award-winning female Leader in the Construction and Housing Industry.

Throughout your leadership development journey, I guide you to:

  • Live into the 6 Leadership Attributes, the 5 requirements of a successful Culture to build a team of strong leaders.
  • Redefine what you want success to be.
  • Identify the goals that are most aligned with your priorities and business.
  • See how you get in your own way to sabotage your goals 
  • Implement the tools to get out of your own way going forward to open up new doors of opportunity.
  • Become a more confident, capable leader communicating at a high level.
  • Save time and work far more efficiently…without sacrificing yourself.

"I built a successful, vertically integrated company from $0 to $85m in 12 years. Let me help you." -Michelle

What Our Clients Say...

A Message from Strive Founder, Michelle Simms-Reiter

I built a company from nothing, zero to 54 people, $85m rev per year and 300 homes per year in my market, in the great recession.

I did this without ever having done it before, not being able to pay top dollar for talent, not having the same resources as my competitors and without much help.

I had to figure things out on my own. There were times I nearly failed – I thought we were done and would be closing our doors. 

I want to spend the next year with you to support you through all that it takes to get the results you want (& deserve) in your life. 

What did I love most about building my company? It was also a people building company. 

I have created this Program to be both financially and physically achievable to anyone who is in Management and Leadership in any industry. 

Whether you are the decision maker for your organization or a Leader to become certified (or both), this Program is a no-brainer.

Quite simply, there is nothing like it out there – and it will return your investment in your first month alone. 

I am confident that I can guide you – and your team – to achieve higher levels of excellence (and have fun doing it).

As I like to say, “Give me your managers, and I’ll return FIERCE Leaders!”
