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.

My name is CJ Hammond.

Working with my coach, Jordan White, I quickly realized how I could be more compassionate, empowered, and focused. As a result, I immediately noticed that the internal questions I asked myself were different, therefore changing my actions. My favorite thing about the program was the insight I gained into my biases and how they can hinder me from operating from an A-game mindset. I would liken the experience to a personal trainer for your brain. Helping to sharpen my thinking abilities. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to re-define their lives by making better daily decisions. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working through my cognitive biases as well as learning my assets. Both are vitally important to understand when making choices in my life to create the most value.

Going into this program, in order to achieve my goal of staying connected to the “why” behind what I do at work, remaining grateful for the impact my team and I can have on the lives of children and their families, and appreciating the opportunity I have been given to influence both the growth of our team members and the care we provide to our patients, I discovered that I needed to become less impulsive, reactive, and absent.

Going into this program, in order to achieve my goal of staying connected to the “why” behind what I do at work, remaining grateful for the impact my team and I can have on the lives of children and their families, and appreciating the opportunity I have been given to influence both the growth of our team members and the care we provide to our patients, I discovered that I needed to become less impulsive, reactive, and absent. Working with my coach, Jordan White, I was quickly able to become more deliberate, proactive, and present. As a result, recognizing my biases and my assets and learning how and when each show up was huge. It allows me to leverage my assets and minimize the impact of my biases. My favorite thing about the program is how the exercises really help put the principles into action. If I were to sum up my experience in this program, it would be “eye-opening, empowering, practical. I highly recommend this program for anyone who seems stuck and is ready to take their life to the next level. Jordan was a great coach and really helped me work with the material in this program.

Life-changing Experience
Taking on the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development program through the coaching of Dr. Melodye Hilton was and is an ongoing life-changing experience. Following the process of the program along with Dr. Hilton’s guidance was simple in practice yet profound in impact. Through the personalized VQ report, I was able to see the areas of life that are under-serving, over-serving (biases), and best-serving (assets) my life and my world.

Through the personalized VQ report, I was able to see the areas of life that are under-serving, over-serving (biases), and best-serving (assets) my life and my world.
Through conscious choice and action, I was able to begin living a more value-genic life. Before I knew it, things I had struggled with and felt disconnects on for years were suddenly non-issues as I began to function in a higher and clearer way of thinking and living while also presenting a more valuing and nurturing presence to those around me. I highly recommend this powerful tool to anyone who wishes to live a better, more authentic, more fulfilling, and more impactful life!

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 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.

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.

Going into this program, in order to achieve my goal of being more calm and collected at work, I discovered that I needed to become less negative, reactive, and assumptive. Working with my coach, Jordan White, I was quickly able to become more empathetic, thoughtful, and considerate.

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.
