Overview
I see you.
It sounds like such a simple phrase.
But to be seen, to be heard, to be known?
This is perhaps one of the most powerful, most transformative experiences we can ever step into as human beings.
Some of my earliest memories in life are marked by a sense of invisibility. To be honest, my wounds are deep. But over time, healing has found its way to my heart as I’ve learned how to use my voice and discovered that I am most seen when I am seeing others and nurturing others. Life is often like this.
Your greatest mission forms out of the ashes of your greatest heartaches.
Since 2003, I’ve been coaching executives, leaders, and high-achieving professionals through their own journeys of life and business. Some want to discover how to grow their network and their income. Some want to increase sales and production. Others want to discover their vision and learn how to align it with everything else they do. And while all of these “metrics” seem tangible and measurable, here’s what makes my coaching so different from the mainstream:
When we work together in a book or any other form, we will never just start (or stop) with what is visible.
Instead, we’ll start by peeling back the layers. . .
My clients have used this work to double their revenue.
They’ve used it to grow strong, healthy, connected teams.
They’ve used it to increase productivity, value, and opportunity.
But none of this happened because they followed a formula.
Instead, it happened because they peered into their own inner lives and discovered how to unlock the lightbulb moments they so desperately need. This can happen for you, too. But before we begin, here's one thing you should know. . .
Our work together is more than mantras and reflections.
And it’s more than mindfulness and self-awareness.
It’s a contagious transformation that will spread into every facet of your life and your work. . . but only when you discover how to peel back your layers and make space for the growth you need.
You, dear friend, are my genuine purpose. So I'm here, ready to start when you are. Let’s spark your transformation!
Thank you for getting to know me. I look forward to helping you get to know you at an even deeper level.

“I was seeking a coach to break through on what I knew was holding me back. [With Coach April,] I got to overcome my limiting beliefs, learn different perspectives, and face challenges I didn’t
think I wanted to face”

The Axiogenics Valuegenic Self-Leadership Development Program exceeded all my initial expectations. When I embarked on this journey, guided by my coach, April Ballestero, I quickly discovered the need to become less agenda-focused and opinionated. I realized that I needed to set aside distractions and become more attentive, ego-less, and loving. This program served to open my eyes to the immense value of interpersonal relationships. One aspect which stood out to me was the pace at which the program unraveled. It allowed a gradual understanding and application of the concepts learned. This gradual process lead me to describe my time at Axiogenics as enlightening, impactful, and practical. It is something I was able to incorporate into my daily life. I would recommend this program to anyone genuinely interested in enhancing their quality of life. April’s wealth of experience and heartfelt guidance allowed me to absorb this invaluable information at my own pace, in turn aiding me to identify what holds utmost importance in my life. The Axiogenics Self-Leadership Development Program is truly a transformative experience.

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.

“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.”

“Amazing! April more than exceeded my expectations. I have had management, sales, and organizational training in the past but, with her expertise and the tools she provided, I have experienced life-changing progress in myself. April has the unique ability to create a “bubble” of higher-level communication during a one-on-one session. The input provided by the other participants adds to the experience and provides valuable perspectives. A tool is only as good as its operator. One Light Ahead has done an amazing job of providing an excellent set of tools and a mastery of their use to provide training that is just not available anywhere else. I’ve personally witnessed the success of this program many times over.”
