Coaching with Michele Jennae

Coaching with Michele Jennae

You are not broken. You are whole. Coaching is the work of remembering that.

Most people come to coaching asking the wrong question. Not what's wrong with me — but how do I get back to myself, and how do I move forward from there?

That's the right question. And it already contains the answer: you know the way back. You've always known. What you need is the time, the space, and someone who knows how to listen while you find it.

The Approach

Every coaching engagement begins with the VIA Character Strengths assessment — free to you through the VIA website — as a jumping-off point. Not a verdict. A starting place.

From there we find your path: some people navigate their genius most naturally through analytical mapping and structured reflection. Others find their way through imagery, metaphor, and creative exploration. Most need both — and we move between them with your permission, following wherever your inner wisdom leads.

What you will always find in a session with Michele Jennae:

Deep listening. Not the kind that waits for you to finish so it can respond. The kind that makes space for silence — yours and mine — because some of the most important answers arrive in the quiet that most conversations never allow.

No unsolicited advice. You hold more context for your own life than anyone else ever could. The work is drawing out what you already know, not overlaying what I think I'd do in your shoes. If I have a perspective to offer, I'll ask permission first.

Your genius, mapped. The EDG Butterfly Map is my signature tool and it will find its way into our work — usually in the first session or soon after. It gives both of us a shared language for where your energy is flowing, where it's stalling, and what's actually happening at the crossing point.

The tools we may use depending on where the work leads: the EDG Butterfly Map and Genius Tensions, VIA Character Strengths, the Blue Flame framework, guided imagery work, reflective journaling, and doodling as thinking on paper.

Genius with a Plan

Six sessions. The map, the flame, and a plan worth flying.

This is the full engagement — designed to take you from wherever you are to a life and work that actually fits the genius you already have.

Over six 50-minute sessions we move through:

• VIA Character Strengths — what you're naturally built to do
• The EDG Butterfly Map — the shape of how your genius moves
• Genius Tensions — the eight polarities that reveal your specific imprint
• The Blue Flame — what's actually driving you beneath the surface
• Genius with a Plan — your goals, your game, your next move

Sessions are conducted via Zoom or phone. The package is extendable if the work calls for more time.

Investment: $579 (Individual sessions available at $125/hour for those not ready for the full package)

Michele Jennae has spent a lifetime finding the genius in people. Now she does it one conversation at a time — with the EDG Butterfly Map, VIA Strengths, and the radical belief that you already have what you need.
