Michelle Watson-Grant, Ed.D., CMC

Dr. Michelle Watson-Grant unleashes potential and transforms organizations by coaching educational leaders and non-profit directors to engage in self-discovery, elevate their leadership capacity and achieve their goals.

Leveraging her 30 years of experience in education, Michelle is now a certified master coach and the founder of Jonlieu (pronounced “Jon Loo”), a coaching company dedicated to helping emerging and mid-level school system and non-profit leaders succeed.

Michelle is passionate about developing the potential in leaders and offers one-on-one coaching, team coaching, and transformative team development facilitation. Known for her relaxed demeanor, she’s often “the calm” in the midst of her clients’ chaotic storms.

Michelle’s coaching and facilitation expertise makes a notable difference for her clients, like Union Capital Boston, a non-profit that assists low-income residents with resources. Michelle worked with their leadership director to develop a leadership program and curriculum while also increasing the leader’s capacity to support team learning and development. With a people-first approach, Michelle dramatically elevates individuals, teams, and organizations to perform at their highest levels.
