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.”

Re: Board of Directors’ Retreat Facilitation…
The Valuegenics science [neuro-axiology] and approach is outstanding. It set the stage for a Board meeting where we went deeper into Purpose and trusting teamwork than I ever thought possible. People brought their “A” game to the table and we are poised to execute with passion!

“As a successful personal and business coach for over 25 years, taking precious time to engage in the kind of personal and professional development that can propel me forward has always been important. Axiogenics is way beyond, yet so much more practical, applicable, and actionable than anything else I’ve ever seen, including 20 years of studying axiology.”

The Axiogenics Valuegenic Self-Leadership Development Program exceeded all my initial expectations.

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 discovered that I have real assets within me
This program taught me the power of asking the right questions — not just to myself, but with my team. We live in a world shaped by the stories we tell ourselves. They influence how we see reality, how we relate to others, and where we’re going. Through this program, I discovered that I have real assets within me — and that when we shift our mindset and rewrite our story, anything is possible.

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.

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 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.
