… 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-...

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.

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...

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.

My name is Mary and I recently had the privilege of participating in the Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program. When I embarked on this journey, it was with the intention to find balance in my professional and personal commitments. I soon realized I needed to reevaluate my expectations, as I was overcommitted, constantly striving for perfection, and frequently exhibiting impatience and dissatisfaction. Through my sessions with my profoundly insightful coach, Kristin Clark, I was able to swiftly transition to embodying more reasonable expectations, expressing contentment and supportiveness, and feeling more satisfied with my work products. What resonates most with me about this program is its methodical approach to personal growth, compelling us to acknowledge our weaknesses and fine-tune them into strengths. In summary, my experience in this program saw me evolve from a overextended perfectionist to a balanced, content, and resilient executive. The personal growth and leadership skills I have developed are invaluable and I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to elevate their self-leadership capabilities.

Mary is one of the smartest, kindest and most emotionally intelligent coaches I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with on both a personal and professional basis. She knows exactly what questions to ask to guide clients in the right direction and she knows when to offer insights and when to allow leaders to come up with their own best solutions. Her willingness to give of herself and expertise show that above all, she values kindness. Anyone fortunate enough to have Mary in their corner is sure...

Dr. Melodye’s coaching… has changed me from the inside out!
Dr. Melodye Hilton’s impact on my life using Axiogenics was evident even before I finished the coaching process. Her coaching has enabled me to navigate through my daily life creating positive outcomes by changing the stories I tell myself. Through the Axiogenics process I have become aware of the pitfalls that were ushered into my life by the biases/lies I’ve believed about myself and those around me. Most importantly I was shown my individual unique assets, which has allowed me to influence those around me in a positive light.
Dr. Melodye possesses an incredible ability to instruct and coach, taking me to new levels in self-awareness, inner development, and creating greater levels of advancement in the marketplace. The training process is very effective and applicable to real life situations, stretching and challenging me. I have advanced my leadership skills in the art of communication and conflict resolution.
Dr. Melodye’s coaching has changed how I view and approach life. It has allowed me to be free in who I am, eliminating fear, anxiety, and pressure to be something or someone I don’t have the power to be previously. It has allowed me to be a giver not a taker to the world around me. Her coaching has changed me from the inside out!

“…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.

“…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.

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.

Significantly Boosted My Performance
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, Michael Gidlewski, 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.
