Transformative

My name is Karmin Jenkins and my journey with the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been transformative. My goal was to live authentically and consistently from my strengths. I quickly learned, under the guidance of my coach, Dr. Melodye Hilton, that to fulfill this, I needed to become less influenced by biases each day and more driven by my assets. When I started this program, I was completely ruled by my biases. However, the coaching and guidance provided by Dr. Hilton enabled me to experience deep-seated changes in my behavior and mindset, all without feeling guilt or shame. What I really loved about this program was taking the assessment as it allowed me to better understand myself and my past behaviors. It gave me insights into how to coach others and enhanced my interactions with my mental health therapist. In summary, I feel as though I have been reset and realigned in a way that allows me to live as I was truly intended to. If you’re someone seeking to understand the core of your behaviors and the cause-effect relationships in your life, I highly recommend this program. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Hilton for her coaching and to Axiogenics for providing the resources that enabled this transformation.

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 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. 

This program turned my life around and played a major role in helping me build a very effective team.

I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to make meaningful improvements or changes in their life. The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development program has helped me achieve my goal of being able to confidently work on things that I want to do, trusting that I will make the money that my family needs to live our new life. I can now clearly see what drives my sense of wanting to be perfect, and how that holds me back from being the rainmaker that I want to be.  I am easily able to recognize when I am taking on tasks and issues that belong to other people. This is very empowering, and is a huge help at work. Working with my coach, Peter Demarest, also helped me realize that I have the skills to be a rainmaker, and I can learn to enjoy the process. My favorite thing about this program is being able to see the connections between the different parts of my life. Axiogenics helped me see that my mindset around my husband’s autism was the same as my mindset around work. I also love that these are skills that I can continue to hone throughout my life, and that I now have a set of tools that helps me identify the issues so I can address them.

Note: Julie went on to become a Certified Axiogenics Partner.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program is both helpful and intriguing. Before beginning this program, my primary goal was to become more confident and skilled in decision-making. I recognized the need to transition from being reactive, indecisive, and passive to being proactive, decisive, confident, and engaged. Working closely with my coach, Kristin Clark, I developed better awareness of the aspects of myself I wanted to change. The program provided me with effective strategies to approach situations differently, allowing for personal growth and empowerment. One of the highlights for me was the Central Question and Centering Questions, which guided me through challenging scenarios and enabled a deeper understanding of myself. I highly recommend that anyone aiming to improve how they handle stressful situations or who wishes to become a better individual do this program ASAP. This program offers valuable insights and practical tools that foster transformation and self-discovery.

“…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.

Re: Board of Directors’ Retreat Facilitation…

The thoughtfulness, individual preparation, and then teamwork conducted during our 2-day board retreat was life-giving, inspiring, and phenomenal. Not only did I personally benefit, it also made for some of the best conversations that resulted in tangible actions. Peter and Eddie were exceptional facilitators and partners through this process. The power of ‘good’, ‘value’ and the use of our collective ‘assets’ resonated wonderfully and will serve me for the remainder of my career and life. Thank you!

Going into the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program, I had one clear goal in mind – to embrace healthier eating habits so I could age gracefully. I quickly realized that to achieve this, it was essential for me to shake off my unpreparedness. Thankfully, I was not alone in this journey. My coach, April Ballestero, was instrumental in helping me pivot from being unprepared to becoming more organized and proactive in my approach to a healthier lifestyle. What I appreciated most about the program was its unique focus on personal leadership and development. It goes beyond mere instructions and truly equips one with the necessary tools and mindset to lead a more fulfilling life. I would describe my experience in one word – transformative. I sincerely believe that anyone seeking personal growth and better life management would immensely benefit from the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. I highly recommend it.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program introduced valuable tools that helped me build systems to stay focused, accountable, and organized—key elements for leading with intention and fostering sustainable growth. From the outset, my goals were clear: to create a strong business growth framework, support client success, and cultivate a more fulfilling life for myself and others. Working with my coach, Michael Gidlewski, was an enriching experience. His guidance, paired with the program’s structure, helped me create space for what truly matters. One of the most rewarding aspects was collaborating with Michael—his insights were instrumental in deepening my growth. I highly recommend this program to anyone dedicated to meaningful personal and professional development.

… an amazing journey… a life-changing shift…

My experience with the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been transformative. Embarking on this journey to bolster my monthly income to $10,000, I realized that I was in a battle against fearful perfectionism, procrastination, a sense of unwarranted obligation, and a critical outlook towards myself. Fortunately, with the guidance of my dedicated coach, April Ballestero, I was able to become more confident, curious, consistent, and self-directed, without being too hard on myself. As I began to apply the tools and techniques imparted by the program, I came to better understand the biases that were hindering my progress. This led to sustainable shifts in my attitude and behaviors, allowing me to consistently stay in my ‘A-game’. The group sessions were an enriching platform for peer learning, while the diverse tools offered practical strategies for personal growth. To encapsulate my experience in this program, it was an amazing journey that triggered a life-changing shift in my perspective. I highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to anyone interested in self-improvement or those who are struggling to sustain behavioral changes.

My name is Briel Speer, and my journey with the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been incredibly impactful. When I initially joined the program, my objective was to improve the work culture at my company. However, I quickly recognized certain personal tendencies of being too accommodating, easily distracted, and excessively risk-averse, which were impediments to my success. Fortunately, my coach, Jordan White, was phenomenally supportive and efficiently helped me develop a more authentic, assertive, and courageous leadership style. The transformation has been vast and it has given me new insights about my thought processes and their influences on both my professional and personal interactions.

Reflecting upon my journey, the standout aspects have been my interactions with Jordan, whose kindness, patience, and partnership were invigorating, and the toolkit provided by the program, which was instrumental in guiding me through the learning curve. My experience can best be summarized as enlightening and deeply introspective, with a powerful emphasis on recognizing and celebrating personal growth.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been an invaluable asset in not just refining my decision-making and fostering an open-minded approach, but also in re-discovering my value within my professional sphere. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone striving to unlock their potential and elevate their leadership skills.

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 stuck or plateaued in life and is ready to grow, break through, and create something they never thought possible.

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 embarked on the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program with the intention of honing my leadership skills, personally and professionally to ensure I maximize the value proposition given to and derived from my department as a result of my leadership. Revamping my perfectionist nature and eliminating hesitation and indecisiveness was challenging; these aspects of my way of doing things had oftentimes prevented me from getting the best net value from a situation. The transition though difficult showed new ways of thinking and approaching matters that proved to be quite rewarding steps on my journey towards improvement.   My coach, Debbie Joseph-Caddle, definitely boosted my sense of confidence in my ability , which in turn allowed me to be more willing to exercise my decision-making in the space. She emphasized the importance of decision-making and accepting occasional failures as being part of the learning process. Under her guidance, I developed the ability to test my ideas and take decisions with confidence, further enhancing my leadership skills. A key takeaway from her tutelage was this: Leadership isn’t about doing everything myself but ensuring things get done, either through my own work or through efficient delegation. One of the more unexpected but welcomed aspects of the program turned out to be having Debbie as a sounding board as well as access to the insightful tools for rethinking problem-solving and leadership practices that the program provides. Reflecting on my journey throughout this program, I would describe it as an enlightening, confidence-boosting experience that provided me with constructive feedback in a secure environment and one that transformed my thought processes. I highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to anyone requiring guidance in enhancing their leadership skills. The program facilitators are understanding, knowledgeable, compassionate, deliberate, engaging, flexible and professional. It’s a highly recommended program that promises to bring about positive change.

Going into the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to achieve my goal of “to live and work authentically and creatively, doing something I love”, I discovered that I needed to become more grateful, consistent, and positive. Working with my Coach, Jordan White, I was quickly able to pinpoint the thoughts and ways of thinking that were sabotaging my goals. I now have a clearer understanding of my A and B game habits. I can easily recognize why I was struggling. My favorite thing about the program is the “ah-ha” moments of the worksheets. I’m amazed that when reviewing my Self-Leadership development report it became clear where I was struggling that I hadn’t been able to put in words before. If I were to sum up my experience in this program, it would be “emotional, eye-opening, motivating, and resonant.” I highly recommend this program for anyone who is lost, confused, and frustrated that they are self-sabotaging their life but don’t fully understand why. If you have tried other self-help or motivational books but haven’t made progress, this program can give you ways to change the core habits and thinking that are holding you back.

Axiogenics provides concrete ways to influence people’s thinking which is actually what drives their behavior. A real game-changer for OD, Leadership, Learning, Talent Management, Culture Change, and Team Building.

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!

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.

… My experience with the program [and coach Jordan White] has been enlightening. It has given me the tools to help me break free from my plateau and set me on a path towards a more fulfilling and engaging career with newfound potential. It’s been a journey of self-improvement. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who feels lost or stuck in their life or work and believes they can achieve more; you’ll learn that it’s within your reach.

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 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 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.

I wanted to learn how to create a life worth living. Thanks to the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program, I discovered my need to become less impatient, anxious, and controlling. Working with my coach, Jordan White, I was able to become more patient, present, and positive. Elevated awareness around my decision-making is one of the most effective tools I learned in the program. My favorite aspect of the program was the way the worksheets allowed me to really connect the dots between my actions, decisions, and goals. I sum up my experience as “profound, empowering, and thought-provoking”. I highly recommend this program for anyone who is looking to become a better version of themselves, change habits or patterns in their life, and make better decisions.

My journey with the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been an enlightening experience. Initially, I entered the program aspiring to achieve my goal of becoming a Chief Physician Executive. I realized I needed to attenuate a few personal traits, like my reserved nature, self-critical tendencies, and resistance to embracing diverse opinions and ideas. Supported by my coach, Alice Ackerman, I transitioned into a more communicative, delegative, and open-minded professional. This transformation allowed me to introspect my choices and actions more critically and act with deliberate intention. One aspect of the program that resonated with me the most was the incorporation of purposeful daily practices. These practices applied to every situation, reinforcing a foundation for consistent self-improvement.

To sum up my journey with the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program, I can definitively say the experience is transformative, providing a comprehensive framework for personal development. This program is immensely beneficial for anyone looking to enhance their leadership skills and, more importantly, evolve as a better human being. The program uncovered the blind spots in my personal and professional life, allowing me to fully embrace and understand the nature of change. I cannot recommend this program enough to those seeking lifelong growth.

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.

Profound Impact

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.

You’ll be blown away by what you learn about yourself. It’s amazing how wired you are on how you operate in certain situations. This program turned a spotlight on my programmed tendencies and rewired them to better serve my decisions and actions. The program is challenging but in all the right ways. It’s like a clean install for your brain. I look forward to my continued work with [my coach,] Jordan.

The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program has been truly empowering for me. My initial goal was to learn all aspects of my job without feeling overwhelmed, and this program has enabled me to do just that. I knew I needed to become less stressed, more laid-back, focused, and positive. With the guidance of my fantastic coach, Kristin Clark, I’ve learned to step back and take a moment before reacting to challenging situations. This approach has significantly reduced my stress levels and increased my effectiveness at work. One of my favorite parts of the program was working with Kristin, who was incredibly understanding and supportive throughout the process. Her insights and encouragement have been invaluable, helping me cultivate a positive mindset and enhancing my self-leadership skills. I highly recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to anyone struggling in their current role and looking to improve their professional and personal life.

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.

A profound level of personal and professional development

My name is Michael Allen. I enrolled in the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program with the aim of becoming a professional coach. As I embarked on this journey, my coach, April Ballestero, quickly illuminated some hindrances I needed to overcome – primarily my tendency to get distracted, be argumentative, and act without intention. With her guidance and the program’s robust framework, I was able to transform these weaknesses into strengths, becoming distinctly more focused, intentional, and empathetic. The results were not only immediate but also significant. I gained clarity in purpose, direction, and goals. Moreover, I saw a vast improvement in my marriage due to enhanced communication and understanding. One of the standout features of this program is the A&B game worksheet, a tool that encapsulates the effectiveness and speed of result delivery, cohesive with the course. In essence, my experience with this program has been nothing short of life-changing. It has added a new dimension to my life – a profound level of personal and professional development that I have never experienced before. It’s worth every penny, and for anyone looking to elevate their life’s purpose, goals, and relationships, particularly in marriage, this is a program I cannot recommend enough. The results truly work!

From “Type A” to A-Game

I wholeheartedly endorse the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. Initially, I embarked on this journey with the goal to transition from a traditional “Type A” perspective of high achievement, self-control, impatience, and competitiveness. I felt a profound need to overcome my stress, anxiety, and headstrong attitude to achieve this. To my delight, I found that the program, especially under the expert guidance of my coach, Melodye Hilton, enabled me to transform into a more relaxed, confident, and secure individual. I greatly appreciated the program’s centering questions which allowed me to recognize my strengths and biases efficiently. Without a doubt, my favorite aspect of this program was the learning and exploration of my unique personal assets. Reflecting on my journey, I would summarize my experience as a wonderful exposure to self-awareness, inner peace and an enriching development professionally and personally. I genuinely recommend the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program to anyone who seeks continued growth and self-improvement both on a personal and professional level.
