Mary understood that our profitability was dependent upon engineers being billable, and to that end, worked with us through programs, consulting and coaching to maximize our ability to focus on projects and work efficiently, effectively and happily.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program was a deeply transformative and personal experience. The small group of cohort participants created an environment that was both open and supportive, empowering me to be honest and fully engaged in my learning journey. This was a rare opportunity in my professional experience. Going into the program, my goal was to define a non-grading role in the DODC Cohort Program, focusing on performance and impact.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program was a deeply transformative and personal experience. The small group of cohort participants created an environment that was both open and supportive, empowering me to be honest and fully engaged in my learning journey. This was a rare opportunity in my professional experience. Going into the program, my goal was to define a non-grading role in the DODC Cohort Program, focusing on performance and impact. I knew I needed to become more direct and confident, rather than self-effacing. Working with my coach, Peter Demarest, the program’s Central Question became integral to my practice, helping me avoid unproductive patterns. Embracing my biases and realizing that caring about and empowering others is a powerful strength significantly boosted my confidence and authenticity. Participating in this unique, diverse group led by Peter will be a memorable experience. I highly recommend this program to anyone curious about personal growth and supporting others in their development journey. The tools provided are invaluable, offering just a taste of life’s work that inspires a desire for more. Peter’s rare combination of expertise and humility makes this program exceptional. My aspiration is to further develop my axiology skills and actively contribute to this growing community.

I highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. Prior to this program, in my pursuit of achieving my goal of being a Director of Operations, I realized that I needed to address my demanding, controlling, and undisciplined tendencies.

I highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. Prior to this program, in my pursuit of achieving my goal of being a Director of Operations, I realized that I needed to address my demanding, controlling, and undisciplined tendencies. Maureen Ennis, my coach, skillfully steered me towards being more positive, methodical, and empathetic. This program goes beyond just improving professional performance – it actually helps sculpt you into a well-rounded human being as well. I learned that modifying my behavior positively encourages others to collaborate with you, and provides a fresh perspective. This not only enhances your work life but your personal life too. The program has taught me that being more productive and content can go hand in hand. One of my favorite aspects is the self-assessment that uses VQ bias as a reference to illustrate change versus habit – it’s insightful. My experience has taught me that effort definitely reaps rewards and that change can be a very good thing. This program is excellent for management at all levels; improving quality of life, both professionally and personally is crucial. Axiogenics is not an overnight fix, it’s a process that requires breaking old norms and fostering collaboration with others. Creating value becomes so much simpler with this program.

I am tremendously grateful for my experience in the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. Initially, I enrolled with the intention of increasing my capacity. I soon found out that I needed to shift my tendencies from passive and impatient to being assertive and present. All of this was made possible with the thoughtful guidance of my coach, Michael Gidlewski. Through this journey, I was able to identify self-limiting beliefs, which had been heavily influenced by recurrent narratives I ...
I am tremendously grateful for my experience in the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. Initially, I enrolled with the intention of increasing my capacity. I soon found out that I needed to shift my tendencies from passive and impatient to being assertive and present. All of this was made possible with the thoughtful guidance of my coach, Michael Gidlewski. Through this journey, I was able to identify self-limiting beliefs, which had been heavily influenced by recurrent narratives I had unknowingly built up in my story. The transformative part was understanding and changing these narratives, which had a profound impact on my personal growth. My standout feature from the program would have to be the practical, user-friendly tools provided, which I found to be easily applicable to all facets of both my personal and professional life. Reflecting on my journey through this program, it’s fair to say that it has allowed me to redefine my sense of value and purpose effectively. I would highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to anyone who may feel stuck in a rut and is looking for the perfect opportunity to level up their 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 highly recommend this program to anyone who feels stuc...

The science of neuro-axiology, and the practice of Valuegenic Self-Leadership, could be a game-changer for OD practice on numerous levels. The neuro-axiological process goes beyond self-awareness, self-understanding, presencing, and radical acceptance, driving a proactive, purposive, and measurable personal transformation.

By working through the value proposition with clients to clarify their goals and identify the attributes required to achieve the goal, the client’s perspective shifts, resulting in deeper, transformative, life-changing results. It also provides an initiative-taking methodology that Clients can use to prepare themselves for major events and activities, thereby enabling them to engage their best self and derive optimal value for all concerned.

In addition to what Axiogenics enables me to do with my clients, I really appreciate the time and energy invested by Peter, Harvey, and Traci in the continuous development of our neuro-axiological coaching skills and our coaching practice. At the twice-monthly Mastermind meetings, the collective wisdom and connection of members make the conversations wide and deep. I leave every session feeling uplifted and energized.
