Jonlieu's signature logo and tagline that reads Think. Be. Do.


Cultivate The Leader Within

Life is a journey. How we travel is really up to us. We can just flow with the tide or follow our own dreams.

~Paulo Coelho

If you're an emerging or mid-level leader who's committed to following your dreams, you must grow from within to realize the change you seek.

We'll be your partner in the journey, supporting you towards deeper self-discovery and confident, effective leadership.

Hi, I'm Michelle, Jonlieu's Founder.

The work I do as a professional coach is my dream. I get to work with high-potential leaders just like you. Leaders who are hungry for growth, who have their eye on the prize, and who know in their heart of hearts that a nonjudgmental thought partner is just the kind of support they need on their journey of success and fulfillment.


Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey?

The Leaders Speak

I was apprehensive about the coaching process at first, but Michelle was very helpful in getting me to open up and reflect on my leadership qualities. With her assistance I was able to clarify my goals and create a path to successful leadership that aligns my vision and values.

I really enjoyed the reflective time with Michelle. She did great at asking open

questions, fostering reflectiveness and initiative. At times it was hard

to not ask her to tell me the answers. She provided me the opportunity

to be a better problem solver.

The Leaders Speak

Throughout my coaching sessions, I was provided the space and skills to grow personally and professionally. Dr. Michelle set a positive tone for our sessions and made sure that we felt like we were in a safe place during our discussion. It was almost therapeutic in a way, how she would listen unbiasedly and guide us to find solutions to our challenges. She pushed us to view our goals from a broader perspective to be sure to not limit ourselves.

Nonprofit Leader

The Leaders Speak

Michelle led large groups of people in making tough decisions and despite the varying viewpoints (which could prove to be polarizing), she always proved to be masterful at finding productive outcomes for all. This comes from her tireless dedication to listening with purpose, considering and valuing every possible viewpoint, and having a thorough understanding of the work.

K-12 Director

The Leaders Speak

I was so impressed with what we were able to accomplish in a short amount of time with Michelle. She helped us clarify our organizational vision, articulate our theory of change and find measurement tools that will help us accurately share the results of our programs. Throughout the process, I found Michelle to be insightful and an excellent group facilitator with a talent for asking good questions, listening well and bringing out the best thinking from a team. I highly recommend Michelle and look forward to working with her again!

I quickly discovered that Michelle needed to lead us through our planning sessions. I appreciate how she methodically led us through the process and kept us on track and focused on our goals. Not only did we create long and short-term goals, but she helped us create realistic steps to achieve and measure set goals.
