“Amazing! April more than exceeded my expectations. I have had management, sales, and organizational training in the past but, with her expertise and the tools she provided, I have experienced life-changing progress in myself. April has the unique ability to create a “bubble” of higher-level communication during a one-on-one session.

I’ve personally witnessed the success of this program many times over.”

I signed up for the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program with the aim of developing a relationship model for our company. Initially, my perfectionistic and people-pleasing tendencies were getting in my way. However, through diligent work with my coach, I managed to cultivate an open-minded, self-respecting, and mindful approach to my every day. Through this practice, I became increasingly centered, driven, and composed, experiencing far less stress than before. Best of all, because our...

However, through diligent work with my coach, I managed to cultivate an open-minded, self-respecting, and mindful approach to my every day. Through this practice, I became increasingly centered, driven, and composed, experiencing far less stress than before. Best of all, because our entire C-suite went through the program, we began to understand each other’s assets and how we complement each other in various tasks, and practice novel strategies and tactics in unison. It has been a challenging journey, but it has changed my perspective on life and equipped me with invaluable tools. I recommend this program to those who perceive barriers in their progress, who feel underestimated, or who are ready to take their professional growth to the next level.

The Axiogenics Valuegenic Self-Leadership Development Program exceeded all my initial expectations. When I embarked on this journey, guided by my coach, April Ballestero, I quickly discovered the need to become less agenda-focused and opinionated. I realized that I needed to set aside distractions and become more attentive, ego-less, and loving. This program served to open my eyes to the immense value of interpersonal relationships.

I realized that I needed to set aside distractions and become more attentive, ego-less, and loving. This program served to open my eyes to the immense value of interpersonal relationships. One aspect which stood out to me was the pace at which the program unraveled. It allowed a gradual understanding and application of the concepts learned. This gradual process lead me to describe my time at Axiogenics as enlightening, impactful, and practical. It is something I was able to incorporate into my daily life. I would recommend this program to anyone genuinely interested in enhancing their quality of life. April’s wealth of experience and heartfelt guidance allowed me to absorb this invaluable information at my own pace, in turn aiding me to identify what holds utmost importance in my life. The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program is truly a transformative experience.

“Alice has been a great coach to work with one on one. She used her background in working in the medical and non-profit world to respond with empathy to the professional challenges I was talking through. She understood the impact of workplace transitions I was facing and helped me to see the factors that were within my control as well as understand the elements I could not control. As an external processor, it was incredibly helpful to have an empathic ear to listen and be a sounding board for my...

Powerful for the Recovery and Rebuilding Phase of PTSD

Powerful for the Recovery and Rebuilding Phase of PTSD
I have completed 6 sessions with Dr Melodye recently. I sought help as I was experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from many years ago which was activated by a recent minor road traffic accident. Thoughts and physical symptoms were overwhelming. I am a Cognitive Psychotherapist by profession and had some insight of what was happening with me, but I knew I needed extra assistance to journey this season safely
The feedback on VQ profile assessment was incredible to identify biases and liabilities and assets in my thinking patterns/frames. Whilst it was difficult and was triggered working through section 1, it also opened the way to section 2 to be effective and section 3 to bring it altogether with insight, in applying the strategic solutions.
In my experience Axiogenics is powerful for the recovery and rebuilding phase of PTSD instead for the acute phase. However, there were tools to maximise my Assets and minimise my liabilities that helped with the “grounding principle” during a triggered moment. It also instils hope that there is a future and steppingstones towards it, which was so empowering in vulnerable moments.
None of the above would have been possible without the expertise of Dr Melodye. She was empathetic towards my presenting acute phase and brought in the training with great skill and precision. In my view, whilst Axiogenics program is scientifically based it needs the expertise of the Mentor to make it effective. It is not a training model to read the manual and do but it needs the relationship aspect of a Mentor. Dr Melodye delivered it superbly with insight and wisdom without making me feel overwhelmed with information and techniques. I did not feel like just another trainee on a factory line to be deposited with lots of information but felt acknowledged as a person and I was the focus for empowerment. It was tailor made! It is not just the program but the integrity and relationship skills of Dr Melodye.
This experience has been like having driving lessons and passing the test but not being an expert driver at this stage. Just like the skill of driving, the more I drive the car the more experienced I become. I am looking forward to practicing the insights from the Axiogenics sessions as the days, weeks and months go by to become experienced in applying the wisdom!

I recently participated in the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. My endeavor in the program was guided by my goal to become more focused and efficient. I realised that to achieve this, I first needed to shed some of my prior habits. Working with my coach, Michael Gidlewski, I was able to turn these aspirations into tangible progress swiftly. This has imbued me with a better sense of focus on creating long-term value and instilled in me the realization that every decision I make and every action I take has value. Along with this newfound understanding, I’ve also learnt to broaden my perspective and leverage my resources better. The program’s well-designed worksheets have been excellent helpers in this transformative journey. They serve not only as great reminders but also effective tools to build good habits. This program merits my highest recommendation. Anyone and everyone can greatly benefit from it, particularly those who may be struggling to find value in their daily lives. Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program is truly an irreplaceable journey of growth and development.

The Self-Leadership Development program is a unique and practical framework. It has taught me to recognize mental habits that negatively affect my ability to make good decisions, as well as to use more effective ways of thinking to consistently contribute towards my goals. Through this program, and through the excellent coaching from Dr. Melodye Hilton, I have learned to make better choices in the midst of challenges, and enjoy greater fulfilment within my personal life and relationships.
Dr. Melodye Hilton is an inspiring and knowledgeable coach, who brings wisdom and practical strategies to every conversation. She challenges me to establish habits of higher thinking and motivates me to live a significant and purpose-filled life. Through her soft skills training and the Core Value Index I’ve learned to better understand my own strengths and contributions, as well as to appreciate, validate, and celebrate others authentically.
Through her training I’ve experienced significant growth both personally and as a business leader. I’ve learned more about the strengths that I can bring to the table, as well as the areas that I am not as naturally strong in. This has helped me in my business to understand how to put together a team of diverse talents; the type of team that will find the most efficient solution for every situation, where each person feels valued and be motivated to contribute in the best way they can.

Starting with One Light Ahead, I felt lost. My business required a direct sales approach, and the struggle with the developing relationships required within this model was real. Building relationships that communicated care to clients was difficult for me. In the initial meeting, it was apparent Coach April could uncover the secrets I was looking for. My initial experience was enlightening. Being able to uncover habits that were holding me back was empowering. Through my coaching sessions, I was able to learn how to take corrective action that replaced my unproductive habits with efficient ones. I have seen a major shift in my focus away from a life that I found to be very stressful. As I accepted my past and the experiences I lived through. I am now experiencing a life that is more fulfilling and complete.
