I’m incredibly happy to endorse the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. My primary goal for entering this program was to enhance my relationship with the people around me – to show them that I deeply cared for them and was committed to their success through actively engaging in our exchanges and exhibiting empathy. I understood that to achieve this, I needed to overcome my fears, distractions, and self-centeredness. With the guidance of my outstanding coach, Michael Gidlewski, I was able to swiftly transform into a more resolute, engaged, and open individual. I now function within my areas of strength and possess the necessary tools to lift myself from patterns of behavior that do not serve me well. Though I sometimes still notice these habits, I am equipped with the ability to detach from them because I understand their lack of relevance to me now. The most remarkable aspect of this program is the provision of vital tools that enable me to break free from my less than optimal performances. I now have the ability to identify when I’m not at my best and a means to navigate my way out. This program has been a breakthrough experience for me. It’s allowed me to thrive both within my team and with my clients. I am confident in my ability to work through any challenges that arise within my teams. I would strongly recommend this program to anyone looking to take a significant step forward but aren’t quite sure how to go about it. The tools provided by this program have proven more beneficial than therapy, and have tremendously impacted my life.

Mary is one of the smartest, kindest and most emotionally intelligent coaches I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with on both a personal and professional basis. She knows exactly what questions to ask to guide clients in the right direction and she knows when to offer insights and when to allow leaders to come up with their own best solutions. Her willingness to give of herself and expertise show that above all, she values kindness. Anyone fortunate enough to have Mary in their corner is sure...

This was a life-changing process. I came to better understand what has kept me from greater successes but, more importantly, it taught me how to apply my own talents and wisdom to get there. I am eternally grateful for this program.

I found the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to be instrumental in reaching my goal of feeling more fulfilled as a leader within my company.

I found the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to be instrumental in reaching my goal of feeling more fulfilled as a leader within my company. I’ve discovered this fulfillment naturally permeates other areas of my life, too. Despite being heavily oriented towards precision, quality, and headstrong leadership, I realized through the program that I needed to adopt a more heart-centered, qualitative, and community-focused approach. My coach, Jordan White, guided me proficiently in transitioning my mindset. The result being, I now think differently; I feel balanced and more confident in my leadership role. The highlight of this program for me was my coach. Jordan was warm, thoughtful, attentive, and utterly inspiring. My experience with the program can be aptly described as both eye-opening and soul-searching. It’s provoked every emotion possible while helping me maintain an out-of-the-box thinking approach. I would highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to anyone who feels stagnant yet knows they have the potential to get to the next level. If you’re feeling stuck in neutral but know you have the fuel to reach your destination, this program is for you.

I have seen a dramatic increase in my effectiveness as a coach since I started using the VQ Profile and the Self-Leadership Development Program. My clients are getting “unstuck” more quickly, and we are able to go deeper in our conversations more efficiently than ever before. Clients move more directly toward their goals and dreams, maximizing their assets and making their biases irrelevant. Of course, the real beauty is that they have a process that they can use forever, even after we are no long...

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been very helpful for my personal growth. I’ve become more aware of my thought processes and emotions, which has given me greater control over my actions and how I spend my time. I can now quickly recognize when I’m getting lost in unproductive thinking or wasting time. I’ve learned to evaluate how my actions will impact the overall value in any situation, understanding that net value includes intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic elements. Celeb...
The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been very helpful for my personal growth. I’ve become more aware of my thought processes and emotions, which has given me greater control over my actions and how I spend my time. I can now quickly recognize when I’m getting lost in unproductive thinking or wasting time. I’ve learned to evaluate how my actions will impact the overall value in any situation, understanding that net value includes intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic elements. Celebrating small successes has become a key part of my journey toward bigger goals, helping me stay motivated and avoid procrastination.
Coaching with Mike Meyers was enjoyable and enlightening. He helped me uncover subconscious thought patterns that were leading to repeated frustrations. Through our conversations, I learned how to identify stress points and logically approach them with preparation and intention. Mike taught me to leverage my strengths, shift my thinking, and ultimately change my actions to achieve better outcomes.
The one-on-one time with Mike was the highlight of the program. While the reading and modules provided essential foundational knowledge, the real breakthroughs happened during our discussions. Some of the most impactful lessons I learned include recognizing the value of my presence, celebrating victories to reinforce progress, and not imposing my perfectionism on myself or others. This mindset shift has even influenced my parenting; I have renewed focus on connecting with my kids to change their thinking and emotions rather than simply expecting obedience. Thinking about “the definition of GOOD” has helped me combat perfectionism in all areas of life.
I highly recommend this program to anyone willing to explore their thought patterns and engage in humble self-discovery. If you come into it with an open mind, the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program will undoubtedly bring about positive change in your life.”

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been a game-changer for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone juggling numerous responsibilities, especially those in leadership roles. The program has enhanced my ability to maintain perspective and address challenges effectively. It was inspiring to witness a teammate, who once struggled with frustration, find clarity and overcome obstacles through the principles we learned. The Central Question and the concept of staying in my “A-Game” significantly boosted my performance. My initial goal was to prioritize my responsibilities better and become the best version of myself. Through collaboration with my coach, I learned to be less demanding and distracted, and more self-aware, present, and focused. Asking The Central Question consistently helps me concentrate on the task at hand and make informed decisions. One of the highlights of the program was mastering the art of recognizing my triggers, allowing me to maintain my “A game” for the benefit of my company, family, and friends. By committing honestly to this program, I’ve discovered a more efficient way to manage myself, enabling me to present a clear, calm, and focused self to my team. This program truly can have a profound impact on your life.

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!
