You care deeply about your work—your team, your mission, your community. But somewhere along the way, your own wellbeing and fulfillment may have faded under the weight of responsibility.

You’re not alone.

At Jonlieu, we believe leadership growth shouldn’t come at the cost of your wellbeing. That’s why our coaching supports you from the inside out—nurturing your emotional intelligence, resilience, and sense of alignment.

Whether you're navigating a new chapter or simply ready to grow with more presence and purpose, coaching offers space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention.

The Think. Be. Do.™ Coaching Model

Sustainable leadership begins within.

It starts with self-awareness—and grows through intentional action.

The Think. Be. Do.™ Model supports leaders in moving from insight to impact. It helps you explore your mindset (Think), align with your values and identity (Be), and take intentional action (Do).

This is leadership rooted in self-awareness—designed to help you show up with clarity and confidence, especially in times of transition or realignment.

Coaching That Meets You Where You are

Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why Michelle coaches through a strengths-based, values-centered lens—with a focus on the real challenges of leadership in education and nonprofit spaces.

Leadership can feel isolating—especially when you're managing change, supporting others, and trying to stay grounded yourself. Coaching offers a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity and support.

Is Coaching Right For You?

An emerging or mid-level leader navigating growth, transition, or challenge

A mission-driven professional seeking more clarity, confidence, or self-alignment

Leading with care and wanting to do it sustainably—not at your own expense
