A Kolbe A Index consultation for ADDO Worldwide’s team of 12 — a half-day that unlocked individual instincts, strengthened team dynamics, and changed how people work together.
ADDO Worldwide builds leadership programs, products, and experiences that inspire individuals, teams, and organizations to lead well. Their clients span industries from health to fashion to education — and what connects all of them is ADDO’s deep conviction that healthy leadership and strong team culture aren’t optional extras. They’re the foundation.
So when ADDO decided to invest in their own team, they called Elevate.
This wasn’t an event. It was a half-day Kolbe A Index consultation — a deep dive into the natural instincts and conative strengths of every person on ADDO’s 12-person team. Not personality traits. Not behavioral styles. Instincts — the way people are naturally wired to take action, solve problems, and collaborate.
Three hours. Twelve team members. Light-bulb moments throughout.
The Kolbe A Index is a powerful tool — but only if the people in the room actually understand what their results mean and how to use them.
Help a team of 12 high-performing leaders understand their individual instincts and how those instincts interact with one another — in a way that was accessible, practical, and immediately applicable to how they work together every day.
Elevate’s team includes certified Kolbe interpreters trained to explain results in plain language — no jargon, no overwhelm. We reviewed every individual result before the consultation, mapped the group dynamics, and designed a custom session that moved from theory to real-world application through activations, demonstrations, and open Q&A throughout.

In just three hours, ADDO’s team walked away with something most teams never get: a genuine understanding of why they each approach things differently — and why that’s a strength, not a problem to manage.
Every team member left with printed index results and a Mind Menu desk card to keep the insights alive beyond the consultation room. Light-bulb moments happened throughout the session. And the realization that emerged — that differences in instinct aren’t friction points but complementary strengths — is the kind of thing that changes how a team communicates, collaborates, and cares for one another long after the day is done.
For Elevate, getting to do this work for an organization we deeply admire was a privilege. ADDO invests in others’ leadership every day. Being invited to invest in theirs was an honor.
"We are all different, but even though we are 'opposites' in some areas, that means we can complement each other really well when we give each other the freedom to thrive in our strengths."
