My name is Helene Burns, and I came to the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program with the goal of self-nominating for the American Organization of Nurse Leaders (AONL) Board, representing Region 2, including New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. At the beginning of the program, I was dealing with issues such as being overly perfectionistic, type A, and feeling insecure. However, through my work with my coach, Mary Kutheis, I was able to shed these negative traits and instead become more decisive, courageous, and confident in my abilities. This transformation has substantially enhanced my professional interactions and made me more adept at decision-making. The central question and “thinking good” have become my anchors for maintaining mental clarity during problem resolution. The program’s approach to recognizing and reducing “B Game” thoughts, while amplifying my “A Game” thoughts, has wholly altered my perspective. The coaching sessions with Mary were beneficial and enjoyable, setting this program apart from others I’ve participated in. This learning experience’s applicability to both work and life is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking to elevate their “A Game”. Trust me; it’s a game-changer.

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...

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.

My favorite part of the journey was working with Michael. He’s truly a man of God, and he has a rare gift for seeing the best in people — even when they can’t see it themselves.
I highly recommend this program to anyone who feels stuck or plateaued in life and is ready to grow, break through, and create something they never thought possible.

“Alice has been such an inspiration to me! She is insightful, empathetic, extremely knowledgeable, and has a delightful sense of humor! Her ability to enable me to draw upon my own inner strength, to come to my own conclusions, to do the necessary internal work so that I can be more effective externally, has been priceless…She has empowered me to discover and walk in those things that are already true of me; things that I had not seen about myself before.

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.”

“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.”

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.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Process has helped me rewire my brain and begin forming valuegenic responses flowing from who I truly am at my core instead of living life in reactionary mode.

“…like going through metamorphosis.”
The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Process has helped me rewire my brain and begin forming valuegenic responses flowing from who I truly am at my core instead of living life in reactionary mode. As I took responsibility to move towards positive responses coming from my assets versus reacting from liabilities it had a major impact on my relationships, especially with my husband and children. Truly life changing! A lot like going through metamorphosis. Deep places in my soul began to heal as I realized I am truly a remarkable woman with so many positive assets I never knew I had! I absolutely loved the support of the program! Having Dr. Melodye help me understand things and how to apply the wisdom I was gathering throughout the course was incredibly helpful. The clarity and new perspectives I gained through the coaching part of the program continue to be invaluable. I love how simple and ongoing the shift is as I continue to show up for myself, learning, applying and growing through asking myself The Central Question.
I am the gal who has done all the programs under the sun. This program is so unique and set apart. I highly recommend it for anyone who is struggling to get past hang ups, triggers, and relationship issues. If you are ready to take 100% responsibility for yourself and your reactions and learn how to uncover and engage the assets that have always been a part of who you are but got buried under life happenings and circumstances this course is for you! I am so grateful I made this investment for myself, my family and other relationships! Learning to live life from the core of who I was designed to be will be a lifelong journey. The Axiogenics process has given me the tools I need to make it a good one! Not just for myself, but for all those around me.
