ELAvate is 30 Years Old! Our ELAvate Hall of Fame

By Michael J Griffin ELAvate Founder

July 1st is ELAvate’s 30th birthday!

We started in Indonesia July 1st, 1992 and have never looked back. From a successful stint in Indonesia, ELAvate expanded to India/SAARC, Singapore, and then Vietnam with training and consulting across 21 nations and well over 800 clients across the world. What a blessing ELAvate has been to myself, all my past and current trainers and employees, as well as the thousands of lives we have positively impacted to be better leaders for their organizations, families and country. We are honored to serve so many companies and non-profits across the world! They have lived the ELAvate Mission:

To Equip and Inspire Young People to be the Transformational Leaders they have potential to be as Multipliers of Healthy Relationships across the World.

I have looked back on the past 30 years and I want to thank those who helped grow and make ELAvate so successful. Let’s say these fine people have entered the “ELAvate Hall of Fame.” Here are those people that positively impacted ELAvate’s success. Many are life-long friends.
